5d ago3:12:25

3:12:25

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Kris was feeling a bit under the weather, so they delayed talking about Viewtiful Joe in favor of doing something easier. Except that ranking every Nintendo franchise that’s not on Switch is WAY HARDER than talking about Viewtiful Joe! So yeah, buckle up for that marathon of nonsense. Then, in Week Old News, Ninte…
