Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Pokémon Pokopia Actually THAT Good? | EP. 182
Q: What are your thoughts on potential Switch 2 variants (Lite, OLED, etc.)?
The host supports a Switch 2 Lite to broaden accessibility amid RAM/memory shortages and price concerns, while arguing that an OLED-focused upgrade is unnecessary unless paired with meaningful performance or feature improvements.
Is Pokémon Pokopia Actually THAT Good? | EP. 182
Q: Is Nintendo Switch Online worth the price, and what are your favorite games on there?
The host argues that Switch Online Plus Expansion Pack is worth it at around four dollars a month because it includes a broad library (Virtual Boy, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES, N64, and more), cloud saves, online play, and extra features, making it a good value.
Is Pokémon Pokopia Actually THAT Good? | EP. 182
Q: If you could choose one Nintendo character to be your bodyguard, who would it be?
The host leans toward Donkey Kong as the bodyguard, citing his overall package, physical presence, and general awareness as reasons to choose him over others like Link or Samus.
Will The Nintendo Switch 2 Price Go UP? w/ RogersBase | The Mario Matter EP. 180
Q: What is your favorite Zelda game when you got into the series?
When I got into the series was actually with Majora's Mask. That was my first ever Zelda game, which is a weird one to be your first Zelda. My favorite of all time is Tears of the Kingdom, and I feel I am one of those people that likes Tears just slightly more than Breath of the Wild.
Pokémon Winds And Waves Is HERE! w/ Teedle | EP. 181
Q: If you had to eat a Nintendo franchise's food every day for your whole life, which franchise would you choose?
I would choose Tomodachi Life since it has a grocery store with various food options.
