Customer Reviews
Terrific Cast!
So glad the podcast did not end and has been rebranded as Press X. Having Mary back rounds out an excellent crew. The discussions are relevant, insightful and focused on gaming—exactly what the audience wants. Too many other gaming podcasts become social and political rants, so many thanks to these guys for avoiding that. The episode on games and consoles they experienced at certain points in their lives and the impact they left remains my favorite as I could relate to a lot of things being said. Keep up the great work!
Great Nintendo Podcast
I love this show! It’s funny, the hosts are entertaining and it’s a great show if you like Nintendo (and video games, in general). Check it out!
Great show
Awesome show with a great cast
