2017 was definitely the year of the Switch, but does 2018 even hold a candle? We recap the biggest and best games and news from 2018 and grade the Switch's second year. Today's panel: Zachary Ryan, Peer Schneider, Brian Altano, and newcomer Alex Osborn!

WWWWWWWWEEEEEELLLLLLLLLCOME! We're taking a look back at The Game Awards and all the major announcements that came out of it. But let's be honest, we're mostly talking about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Now we've all gotten quite a bit of hands on time with the monster of a game, and we are LOVING it! We talk about the good, the bad (what little there is of it), and of course all those freakin' characters! This week's cast: Zachary Ryan, Peer Schneider, Brian Altano, and Casey DeFreitas

WEEEEEEELLLLLLLLCOOOOOMME! Great news everyone, IT'S TIME FOR SMASH. That's right, all of your favorites in one game, just pummeling each other.

This week's cast: Zachary Ryan, Peer Schneider, Tom Marks, and Brian Altano.

IT'S TIME FOR POKÉMON! This week's cast: Zachary Ryan, Peer Schneider, Miranda Sanchez, and Casey DeFreitas.

WEEEEELLLLLLLCOME! Apologies for the tardiness here gang, but whew, that one heck of a Nintendo Direct, huh? We saw a few new characters, an entirely new system with Spirits, and got a metric ton of updates for what is sure to be Nintendo's biggest game this holiday season. We're devoting a solid portion of the show to breaking down news from the Direct, but we're also talking  a bit about Diablo III, Pokemon Let's Go, and a couple of older games that are getting some Switch love this week. This week's cast: Zachary Ryan, Peer Schneider, Tom Marks, and the triumphant return of Casey DeFreitas!
