Checkpoint Intimates: The Nintendo Direct Conversation

Video Games

Checkpoint Intimates is a weekly podcast where two members of the team go one-on-one on a topic that they both feel strongly about, talking in a more deeper and, yes, intimate context.

In this episode, Elliot and Kieren are here to discuss the biggest news from a pretty jam-packed Nintendo Direct which took place on March 9! With a lot of time this year left open and ready to be filled with lots of big video game releases, Nintendo brought some big announcements to the table along with some updates on existing games that will surely help drive the Switch to another successful year in 2018.

Tune in to hear all about the big news including  Super Smash Bros. Switch, Splatoon 2, Mario Tennis Aces, Dark Souls getting its own amiibo, more Switch ports and even some 3DS announcements thrown in for good measure!

For all the latest updates as always, head to our official website at checkpointgaming.net.
