Are you not having enough fun with drifting JoyCon?

A look at the local 2-player mode in Super Punch Patrol. [Let’s Play: Together] Super Punch Patrol (Part 1) Old Nintendo Gamer & Son battle through the violent and corrupt streets of Gravy City. Do they bring the Crime Boss to justice? And, how does the game run in local two-player on one Switch?

PodPals for Episode 50 - Sorry no voting for our 50th episode, but all that nostalgia will see us through. We like to throw events out so that our community can participate in sharing their gaming experiences with us. And, our N-E Cafe PodPals Programme does just that. This time though we are looking forward to our 50th episode which will be recorded on the 25th of October. This time we’ve chosen not to hold a voting session, but to choose the games ourselves. As hosts we have chosen all the Mario games, with easy access so everybody has a chance of participating. The 50th episode PodPals theme is Mario, seeing as it’s his 35th Anniversary and all. That means we’re asking everyone in the community to play through any Mario game. They are the 4 NES titles, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels. The 4 SNES Super Mario All-Stars Counterparts, which released on the SNES Online App a few weeks back. Or any of the 3D games, on any platform of your choosing. We don’t expect anybody to play all games, but you're more than welcome to try if you want. Whilst playing through the games, we would love for you to share your experience of it, by posting here or in the N-Europe Video Game Club Thread, N-E Cafe thread at the N-Europe forums, and we’ll share your very own personal journey with the games, and our critique on our special PodPals episode, and episode 50 of the N-E Cafe recorded on the 25th of October. Do Mario's games still hold up? You can play all these Mario games on any console or service you so desire. From the Nintendo Switch Online NES and SNES Apps, the NES and SNES Mini, as a Virtual Console game (on Wii, Wii U, 3DS), or even on the original hardware. We can’t wait to hear from you. Let’s get gaming together. And that's not all, if you'd oblige us we have a Mario 35th Anniversary Questionnaire to get you memories flowing. Answer as you wish, essays or one word answers, we'll take it all and include them in the podcast recorded on the 25th of October. 50th Mario Episode Questionnaire 1. Favourite 2D Mario Game 2.

It's that time of the week again, and boy do I have a big post for you this week. Lots going on at the Cafe, so without further ado.

Managed to secure a preview code for Bertil Horberg's newest game, Super Punch Patrol. It's an old-school side scrolling beat 'em up, with no frills, but Bertil's attention to detail and the 1080p/60fps play make this game smooth as hell. Check it out, [Lee Plays] Super Punch Patrol (First Look) Old NIntendo Gamer takes a look at the streets of Gravy City, and comes away impressed at what Bertil Horberg has built there.

My full play-through of The messenger is now up to part 12, and our shared Borderlands is up to Part 17. But today I want to share a first look at a new eShop title I purchased this week, [Lee Plays] Hotshot Racing (First Look) Old Nintendo Gamer takes a first look at Hotshot Racing on the Switch. Working through the menus and the first 4 races in the first cup of the GP mode. Hyped!

The Messenger is up to Part 10, Borderlands up to Part 16, and we recorded a new game of Armello (Game 2) where for the first time I managed a Kingslayer Victory, well happy with that. [Let’s Play: Together] Armello (Game 2) Old Nintendo Gamer & Son play through another entire round of Armello. This time with a beautiful winter theme, the snows have settled in. Will it soothe the King’s rot?

1) What games are people playing on their Switch at the moment? Paper Mario: The Origami King (early days so far, but liking the adventure part, not so much the battling) 2) What's the next game release you're looking forward to? Hotshot Racing, and it's out tomorrow, may put down that preorder price today. 3) How many people are actually picking up Super Mario 3D All-Stars on day one? Not at all, if I can manage it. My son may have other ideas, I'll keep quiet and hope it passes by. 4) Which game are you looking forward to playing first? If I did, I'd look forward to Sunshine the most, but I'd probably play them sequentially.

Our pleasure, and thanks for promoting it again, Sam.
