  • It just keeps getting worse

    I listened to NVC for many years and over that time it’s gone from being a well informed, punchy, entertaining (albeit a little shilly) podcast to a moany, self absorbed, entitled (totally shilly) bore. The presenters are so dull, the only time it’s worth a listen is when one of the old guys comes out of hiding and even then it’s usually ruined by the painfully “me me me” types.

  • Great Nintendo podcast

    Great Nintendo podcast that catches you up on all the news and reviews you need. The hosts are fun and informative and while clearly love Nintendo, give honest opinions when called for. A must listen for Nintendo fans.

  • Love nvc for the most part

    Love NVC but I feel like it’s worth mentioning, without getting specific or mean, that the shrieking and raising of voices is really hard to listen to lately. I’m constantly riding the volume to compensate. If people are gonna yell at least mix it so it’s listenable…. I love you guys, but I think this podcast is worth the honest feedback

Ranking Every Yoshi Game - NVC 810

The panel agrees that X is a turning point for the series, balancing nostalgia with new ideas, and that future entries should push the concept without abandoning Yoshi's Island's core appeal.
Logan, Peer, and Brian Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (Spoiler-Free!) - NVC 806
Q: What should Star Fox be if it returns?
A bigger, deeper game with more on-foot exploration, open-ended elements, and meaningful progression beyond a simple on-rails experience, potentially open-world or roguelite, that gives Fox a new, expanded role.
Are Nintendo Games Getting Too Easy? - NVC 771
Q: Are Mario games getting too easy?
Yes, I think they are getting a little easier, possibly to reach a broader audience, but it's also reflection of our increasing skill level.
