Super Switch Headz

GVG's own Daniel Alba joins David and fan favorite Jay Rios to discuss what is potentially Nintendo's largest game ever: Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave. With 5 main playable characters, 4 interweaving paths, and 2 enormous halves of a sprawling epic story, your hosts navigate what makes this game unique from Three Houses, where it fits lore-wise in the canon, tips for the early game, who's got the best fit, and where we think Fire Emblem may be going in the future. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald being teased, Bungie making a huge pivot on Destiny, Mario Kart Tour coming to a close, a new Switch 1 bundle making Nintendo poised to beat the Playstation 2's all-time sales record and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing. Listen to Super Switch Headz on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you enjoy podcasts.
