This will be the ONLY out-of-season episode published, as we weren't expecting anything but tweets from the Big N. Season 3 is under way and will STILL be released on a schedule, so don't worry. Thank you for your continued support! P.S. this was supposed to release on the 28th, but work has been kicking my @$$, so sorry about the tardiness... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nfreviews/message Support this podcast:...

This is what PokeLogic was meant to be all along!: a name change. We've made our way back, with CJ (formerly ZWolf, Fad3) & new PDIMS host Trainer Taj; in today's episode, we talk about if trade evolutions make sense, what changes could be made, and we play a little identity game!

With the Nintendo Switch nearing the end of its life cycle, we ask "are they still doing Nintendo Selects," as they have yet to adopt the practice of lowering the $60 price tag on their oldest, biggest hitters for the console. People weren't fans of how Super Mario 3D All-Stars & Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light were handled, as they were released for a limited time. Is it that important to drive up demand with such an objectively egregious tactic? --- Send in a...

SImply put: stop doing it. If more content was a consideration late into development, it should be noted so consumers know they aren't being fished. Maybe stop making them altogether if the dev team is this deprioritized for these games.

"The Problem" is a subtitle that let's you, the listener, know it'll be an organized rant episode about a problematic situation we find with a particular decision that Nintendo, or one of their subsidiaries or partners have made that have resulted in an inferior experience or product. As you've read the title, today's topic is Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield. We love the game, but their are a few too many issues with it to not address it, so with Taj here in-person to lead off the rant, we...

We know Nintendo sits on titles and strategically releases them. So, why did this year suck until September rolled around? (Not counting Xenoblade 3, of course [eheh].) This is me giving content without having to wait on something big or relevant enough to strike for a full episode.

This conversation happens pretty often throughout the years, but even Mr Sakurai himself has admitted bringing every fighter back from Ultimate PLUS new additions would be quite the monumental and practically impossible task, so I thought I'd help paint a picture of what a realistic roster of fighters would like in the future iteration of SSB. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message:...

NF & CJ discuss whether the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass is really worth it, and in our case, it'd cost us $80/yr. We discuss how it started versus how it's going, what Nintendo got wrong, what's still wrong, as well as what they got right & convincing factors. In a later discussion, we'll also touch on what this could spell for the Nintendo Switch's successor. Thank you for considering our thoughts on the matter, your support means an immeasurable amount; we appreciate our...

This show will no longer be news focused, as far as panel discussions go. News Review will be solely hosted by NF to ensure quick delivery, as essential news should be.

We get personal with our very first experiences with video games. Warning: it gets loud and is unbelievably funny(to us, at least.) We've decided to give you this slice separately, as it deviated from the main talks of the Direct and we wanted full focus on that. So, enjoy this little slice of us sharing more of our personal lives!

This episode, a bit dated, is Táj's thoughts on Pokémon Z, as well as us considering will they or will they not, with the Gen 4 remakes finally becoming a reality, is it possible under a new name? We also get Táj & CJ to reminisce, as well as hype about Diamond & Pearl in 2021! NF will be purchasing Legends Arceus, but what is it? How will it play? What's the story like? Should they go the distance with experimentation in this new form of Pokémon? The three of us delve deeply into all...

In NF & CJ's first episode as a duo (shocking, I know!), we are long overdue on talking about the long-awaited announcement of an improved Nintendo Switch, only it isn't quite what the majority of fans & analysts expected.

With CJ back for our return to PokéLogic, we review topics from the show's past, from how we felt Let's Go would've turned out to what Sword & Shield brought us, including The Isle of Armour & The Crown Tundra; let's just say we REALLY had a lot to say about The Crown Tundra. In the next episode, we'll consider a "will they/won't they" of sorts on Pokémon Z or something similar to Legends Arceus, which is another topic we'll be discussing alongside the long-awaited Gen 4 remakes and...
