I wanna state a sort it out to Brad for thinking this is summon sign instead of punching up

Jordan Cruz

I hope this gets to summon sign not punching up Hey crew, I’m playing Indiana Jones and the great circle and realized the game is not actually on the disc :/ this seems to be a problem I see more and more, I’m a physical collector, this is my nightmare, do you think the ps5 version will have the game on the disc? Is this the end of games on disc from Xbox or will sony save us? Let me know your thoughts!! Thanks

Jeff in NOLA

Hi Punch Club (still workshopping it), Bon Temps Rouler from Mardi Gras here in New Orleans! Simple question: with the Switch 2 release pushed further and further back, are we confident Nintendo will finally solve the supply chain issues they seem to often have at launch and the system will be relatively easy to obtain; or do we think it will be restricted similiar to PS5 launch?id really like to get one if possible. Have a nice day, Jeff

Hello puncher uppers. Brad, I haven’t had a chance to watch you stream your play through of the Pokémon games, so I wanna know. Which starter did you choose for each game so far?

Big Dumb Stupid Idiot

Howdy my fellow 2B milkers, Pokemon Champions will be biggest change to Pokemon because it decouples the competitive multiplayer from mainline games. Balancing both aspects independently is going to allow mainline entries to focus on being RPGs. Competitive will be able to use all the battle mechanics and have actual balance patches. Pokemon Champions is going to be a Fortnite sized money printer for Nintendo. Have a "D'you think I came out the pussy drawing like fucking Mozart?" kind of day!

Hey Brick Fisters! Hypothetical: Switch 2 releases with these launch titles - Mario Odyssey 2, Metroid Prime 4, Mariokart 9, and Hollow Knight Silksong. What are you playing first?

Nevets

Hey Bricksters, I have been playing Sin and Punishment Star Successor on Wii. It feels influenced by Treasure's past games like Gunstar Heroes and others. Does anyone have an experience with this game? Also, I made the mistake of playing as the wrong character. The girl's playthrough feels so much more difficult than the guy's. Have you ever played a game where you felt like you chose the wrong character first?

Mario Kart for me. I didn't love Odyssey or Hollow Knight (need to retry that game though). I'm not caught up on Prime either. What would you play?

Kazden Risk

Hey brick dumpers - what did you think of the Pokemon Presents and what’s the excitement for Z-A? It honestly looks really good when you see comparison images to Scarlet/Violet. Take care!

Notice Me Senpai

Hey Senpais, According to Twitter, Monster Hunter has gone “woke”. So my question to everyone is, What game(s) do you consider to be “woke”? We all know the Twitter definition means any game that has a person of color, a non sexualized female, or some gayness in it, is considered “woke”. We all know that’s the incorrect definition. Any “woke” games that make the user experience worse? (Not including Concord) I hope you notice me

Bradley Ellis

Apologies for the title mixup. Fixed now.

Even if Sony could force Microsoft to fully publish the game on disc (and they can’t), they wouldn’t anyway. Also neither Hellblade II nor Avowed have a physical at all.

Wibble

Hey y'all. I know the Switch 2 will sell ridiculous numbers, but I wonder where the system will be to play more modern games? I know it won't play the most modern games, but as we enter this weird generational obtuse future, will Nintendo's " future defiant" technology eventually get overrun by the likes of Valve, Microsoft, and Sony because they were arrogant enough to think they had the most market share in the mobile game department?

Sir Poops McGuffin

Hello knights of the round table . Just a warm up question for you Im wondering if you’re planning. Bank heist and you can take 3 Nintendo characters . Who and why ? Thanks

JP

Hey Ninten-dawgs, Micah, have you ever played or had any interest in any Hazelight games and why won't Colin play them with you? With Split Fiction releasing this week, it seems like a game that both of you would enjoy. He says he doesn't like playing online or co-op but he broke that for Helldivers 2, so I think he should be a little more receptive of the occasional co-op experience with you. Am I off base? Thanks and a keep-it-up to all three of you! The move to the weekly show has been amazing, and the chemistry of this group keeps getting better with every episode!

Caleb Peacock

Here here here we go, Is the DK rap the best original video game song with lyrics? Who is lanky Kong, donkey, diddy, chunky, kranky, and tiny Kong of lsm? Thank you

I know someone that had a dream last night that Nintendo made Hitler a playable character in Splatoon and in the dream Hitler was an octoling with a purple ink stache and she was like "why did they do that?", but in the dream a bunch of people picked Hitler.

What up, Nintendolts!? I’m playing through Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and just wanted to remind you, in case you forgot, that flora heals an aching soul. On a sidenote, I’ve seen Gene raving about X on Twitter. I didn’t think a Wii U game would be a sigificant upgrade on the Switch. In whatever words you’re allowed at this time, what are your thoughts on that? Also, does it tie into the other games at all or is it completely detached with its own story? Thank you for the hours of high quality entertainment. You guys… are the best.

Hugh Jalode

Hey Brad, Gene & Micah, I want to follow-up on the Big Dick discussion from a few weeks back. I can’t remember, but was Sora mentioned? I’m wondering if those big ass shoes were signaling something… Thanks

Jeremiah

Hey punchers, After hearing Gene talk about Xenoblade Chronicles X on last week’s episode, I decided to jump back into Xenoblade Chronicles 2 after having shelved it last year, 45 hours in. I have Colin’s mental illness in which I must play prior games in a series, and often in a dev’s history, in order to enjoy the new stuff. I’m currently on chapter 9 out of 10, and while I fully intend to finish it, I hate this game. The gacha system is super annoying, the combat is extremely slow even when you understand it, the narrative is meandering, and I can’t emphasize this enough: the game is far too horny. And I say that as a Danganronpa fan. But I stick with it because I adore the original and hear that the other titles don’t share 2’s faults. So my question is thus: is there a game that you can’t stand in a franchise that you love, and did you stick with it?

Sean Mason

Hey Puncher Uppers, I'm thrilled that so many people will finally get to experience the criminally underrated Xenoblade Chronicles X when it launches on March 20th. Hearing Gene rave about its brilliance has only amplified my excitement, especially since it's the only Xenoblade game I haven’t played more than once. With that in mind, what’s a game you’d love to see come to the Switch (or Switch 2) that you feel doesn’t get the recognition it deserves? Best, Sean M.
