*hears what Jaffe says about the Switch* *tries to turn on neglected Switch* “my god…”

Clancy Bundy

my apologies, it's actually Chase: Cold Case Investigations!

Jodeaux

there's a lot of interesting games on there, I'd say keep them coming! gonna check out cold case files...

Looking over the list. Man, that Luigi's Mansion game is just chiseled to perfection, what a good time THAT game is! Also, surprised you didn't mention those weirdo Project X-Zone games. That Sticker Star game is also a really interesting puzzle platformer/point-n-click adventure Mario thing that needs to be reckoned with. What about Little Battlers Experience!? What about Chase: Cold Case investigations? a visual novel time made by some former Cing devs. That Creeping Terror games looks cool too?

Jodeaux

Such a great episode! I finally linked my Nintendo id account and my switch account so that I can snag some of these games before its too late. I will most likely Mod my 3DSXL with the Video Game Pope's blessing now in hand.

Really like that Mathew Kumar! Fun guest to have back for sure This was a really great episode and did wonders to make me feel incredibly guilty about not using my 3DS more than I did. It was a console that I was excited about but showed up at a time in my life where my free time began to dwindle. That didn't stop me from buying games in the expectation and hopes of getting to them but hardly ever did. I'm glad you all had such a good experience with some of these titles, and hope to get back into my backlog in the near future. Also, shout out to Jaffe's dad and really committing to never seeing Grateful Dead again after that concert haha

Hearing Matt has the BOTH of the Kyary KISEKAE plates makes me so jealous. Those two faceplates set are not only impossible to find- any other of the good ones are RIDICULOUSLY priced. A link between worlds needs to be on the switch.

Update: it was extremely easy to mod my 3DS. I need to get a bigger SD card now

Mark McDonald

12 pages!!! the US only has 7 last I checked

No mention of Kirby: Planet Robobot?! Also, please record Tim's stand-up as a bonus!

The Atlus sale not happening on the JP eShop is unfortunate, but I ended up filling my SD card with a bunch of Level 5 games during that sale last year, so oh well *shrug* For anyone who owns a JP-region 3DS and doesn't have a full SD card, there are pretty big sales on Sega, Capcom, Marvelous, and Square Enix games, along with many others. I think there were like 12 full pages in the sales section, so have a horrible fun time navigating that!

Jaehoon Jeong

ah terrific - I can add on Switch and spend on 3ds - that wasn't clear from their error code :D Thanks - I'll update my "the sky is falling" original post.

George 'Kid' Oldman

ooh - maybe add the Save Transfer Tool to the shownotes?

George 'Kid' Oldman

yah, all adding of funds has to be done on a switch now... totally meant to say this in the episode.

you can no longer add funds even from a gift card through the 3dS HOWEVER - it seems you can add funds on Switch and then spend them on 3DS - all good. Great episode!

George 'Kid' Oldman

Thanks for the great episode! You’ve convinced me to finally go ahead and mod my 3DS
