May Contain Dark Themes - Episode 292

Send us a textIt’s episode 304 of the Nintendo Switch UK Podcast, and this week we’re still diving headfirst into Donkey Kong Bananza and absolutely loving it. Also in this episode: Danger Mouse is heading to Switch, but we’re still waiting for Mouse Work to get a dev kit. Pokémon’s new game launches as both free-to-play and paid, causing a bit of confusion (and some grumpiness). Borderlands 4 runs at 30fps on Switch 2, and we ask, is that good enough? EA’s latest football game makes pricing choices we didn’t expect, and Dbrand actually does the right thing after a rough product launch. Plus, some spicy Direct rumours, Turbo Mode news, and our usual tangents.Join us for the usual mix of gaming chaos, questionable takes, and heartfelt community thanks.Call Me By Your Gamea nostalgic video game podcastListen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify The Gaming BlenderWe mash genres.
