  - Philasaurus gave 5 stars, “Terrific show, RJS has excellent perspective! I especially appreciate that he has a father’s point of view on video games. His information about Nintendo is relevant and well informed, to top it off his show is incredibly well produced! Keep it up!!
  - Milo199990 change their review to 5 stars - I’m changing the 5 stars because he addressed my concerns, even though I don’t like it, he tried to explain himself in a decent way. Maybe cut back on the sportsball a little bit?

  - RJS: your audience really appreciates your show format of 3 days a week and quickly covering news, but I just listened to your Thanksgiving Super MARIO Odyssey spoilercast and I really enjoyed the episode. You have some real expertise in analyzing games and you provided me some good insights to better enjoy the game. Anyway, keep adding these single episode in-depth Analyses to your repertoire now and then.
    Thanks Geoff

  - Random thought... I would really enjoy a modern Sim City on Switch. Anyone else? It doesn't even have to be all 3D and Sim-ish. Give me a 2D top down grid with a unique fun art style and a lot of options and gameplay depth. Tom Tate

  - Hello,
    I’ve been following the podcast for a little over a month now and I decided to wait until now to let you know how much I enjoy it. Why now? Well, because I just got my switch today! I’ve been on the switch hype train since seeing the original trailer last fall and I’ve constantly been looking for good podcasts and YouTube channels to keep me up to date on everything until I could get my switch. I’ve loved listening to your show since I stumbled upon it and I also enjoy watching you game on twitch (recently subbed there 😊). The show format is great and the length of each episode is perfect for me to listen to while I walk my dog. Anyways, I just wanted to say keep up the great work, I love the show and I love my switch so far! Now it’s back to Odyssey for me!

  - Tomatoross - Thanks for the frequency! Thanks brother for the show, I work by myself doing internet marketing for car lots, (sticker picture guy) I listen to podcast all day including most of the Nintendo podcast, and believe it or not I scramble for stuff to listen, so I’m glad we get your show every couple of days, also I like the way that you stick to your guns even if it's something small like “sports ball” we have enough people and companies bending to the will of the complaining minority. I mean we listen to these shows to get the unique perspective of the host, not to hear them pander and morph into the keyboard wielding toddlers ( who would ruin a game because they are too lazy to finish it and get rewarded) #who cares about microtransactions rant over thanks, and keep it up.

  - Yo dude I know you’re not into sports type of games minus rocket league but i saw something interesting on eshop for switch. Like you my wife is getting me Nba2k18 for my birthday at end of month and well i was curious about what demos were available to play. I was on eshop and scrolled down to games on sale and saw the nba was 30% off bringing down to $42.00 through 11/27. I myself not very into buying digital cause really don’t want deal with multiple sd cards someday. However $20 off is damn good so I told if she aint buy it yet we should buy the digital copy. Hard to pass up that sale. Even people interested in the $100 version of the game which to me i personally would not pay more than $60 for a game is on sale for $60. I guess sometimes it pays to wait.

  - Aggro Crog - When I got my switch, I struggled to find a regular place for news, updates, and feedback from the nascent community on current and upcoming games. Nintendo SwitchCraft immediately became that place for me and I’ve been listening since April. RJS has a great podcast voice, he provides well -reasoned opinions on gaming subject matter, and the regular episode releases mean that listening will always keep you up to date. I love this podcast, and I hope more Nintendo fans will give it the attention that it deserves. PS I’m only know getting around to dropping a review because I have an Android phone and I don’t use a mac. I’m sure there are many like me who have subscribed via a multitude of non-iTunes applications so please forgive us for taking so long.

  - Hey Bill listen to last show. I have picked up rocket league yet because don’t have a chance to play yet but in comparison to MK8 online. When ever me and my daughter play together split screen online we just use our profile names so like I am the only one with Nintendo account. My daughter as a child account linked to mine and her own user name while my wife just has a user name although she really not a gamer. Sorry email long but player is the main user online and then you pick the other user name. There is no adding a 2 to the first name.

  - Hi RJS,
    I want to share a story with you about my 3DS and microSD card. I have 300 3DS digital titles, a mix of Virtual Console, eShop titles, and first party downloads. 300 is the max a 3DS can have if you did not know that. I actually have more than that, but I can't hold them all. This all takes up around 80GB. The 300 hundred limit is 60 pages of 3DS titles where 5 titles per page are listed in data management.
    About a month ago the microSD card would not allow writes. I don't know what happened or changed. It was bricked, but still readable fortunately. I purchased a new 128GB card and copied all the files over successfully.
    I was fortunate that the card was still readable and wanted to warn others to make backups. Can you image downloading 80GB of 3DS titles along with DSi titles. Also, I would have lost my save games and backups.
    The story had a happy ending, but I was sweating it, until the new card and a backup had been completed.
    Cheers
