It’s like Mountain Dew Snowboardz Since indie month ended, Phil has kind of been going nuts. If you didn’t check out our last show you missed a hot beach adventure with Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. So, how has Phil decided to top that nonsense? Apparently the answer is snowboarding. Now, I’ve never played Amped 3 but Phil assures me it’s the craziest thing I’ll see this week.

Whoa: Nintendo of Japan started a Switch repair subscription

It’s about $15 a year A Switch repair has popped up in Japan, and it’s officially endorsed by Nintendo. For roughly $15 USD a year (or about $1.5 a month), you can join up. It seems to actually be “wide’ as advertised, and will cover most repairs, with the catch that you get six uses per year. Shipping is covered, and the Switch Lite is covered (though not separate Joy-Con or the dock if you just own a Switch Lite, which makes sense as the Lite doesn’t come with either accessory)....
