But GTA6 sure isn't coming to Nintendo Switch, which is fine because we have GTA6 at home! We offer suggestions for alternatives to GTA on the Nintendo Switch, as well as talk about our 2024 Nintendo predictions, what announcements we're excited about from the Game Awards, and read your predictions and questions.

Nintendo announced its going to make a live-action The Legend of Zelda movie and we're all… well, it's hard to know how to feel. Sure, the Super Mario Bros. movie was a huge success, but can Nintendo replicate it when the stakes are arguably higher? Regardless, Nintendo is a money-making machine and we also discuss its financial report, which was extremely rosy, and take your questions. Learn more about your ad choices.

But there's more this week than just the disappointment of a current-gen fighter running on the Switch, including the equally disappointing Pokemon DLC, but also how Microsoft really wants to buy Nintendo. And with the release of F-Zero 99, we take a moment to pitch our OWN 99-style games for Nintendo Switch Online. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
