Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast

RetroBytes: Taking our turn on the Switch 2

Yes, it's been a month since the Direct, but we aren't about that first-to-the-internet reaction style of commentary. We've taken some time to let the news simmer and waited for more information to leak out. Of course, that means this month we'll be leaning heavily on our thoughts on the Switch 2, its games, its features, and anything we could find the day we recorded.Join in on the conversation at patreon.com/retrotopia where you can join for FREE. You get access to this show mid-month, Quick Play, our single-host quick game review, and much more!Find us on Social Media at linktr.ee/retrotopia.
