NVC: Switch's September Success and System Update

Our Nintendo panel talks about Switch hitting a new milestone, the 4.0.0 system update, Sony publishing Tiny Metal, and the latest game releases.

By Peer Schneider

Welcooooooome back to Nintendo Voice Chat! It's the calm before the storm: we're just a week away from Super Mario Odyssey, can you believe it?

In Episode 378, a wild Andrew Goldfarb appears to chat about his adventure trying to capture an elusive Pokemon in Texas, Nintendo's hardware sales in September 2017, and of course update 4.0.0. Andrew joins Zach "Mr. Moiré" Ryan, Brian Altano, and Peer Schneider to break down many of the new games hitting Switch and 3DS this week and Sony's interesting new foray into indie games publishing, which includes bringing Tiny Metal to Nintendo Switch.
