Dads After Dark Show - A Nintendo Podcast · Drew and John

#197: No Direct? Let's Rank Girl Scout Cookies!

·2 hr 25 min

Episode 197 opens with an elderly-man joke, and the tone stays relaxed from there. John and Drew move into a Nintendo rumor about four Xbox games, named as Pentiment, Grounded, Sea of Thieves, and Hi-Fi Rush, possibly coming to Switch. Sea of Thieves gets the most attention because of its art style and because it is an online live service game, with Rare as the studio behind it. The other games stay in the mix too, but the hosts keep circling back to whether the rumor makes sense, whether the ports would matter, and why the games were not named plainly if the rumor was already out there. They also point out that, in their view, three of the four games did not sell especially well on Xbox, so they do not seem like major system movers. The episode stays conversational and a little digressive, with the hosts reacting, rephrasing, and pushing on the same rumor from a few different angles. By the end, it feels like a loose Nintendo hangout built around speculation rather than a clean news rundown.
