Episode 899: Did Nominative Determinism Put Pressure on Young Turok Jones? – Radio Free Nintendo

I’m willing to accept $10,000 to name my first child Turok. Just FYI, I currently don’t have any kids.

Alright, so Xenoblade X is making its way to the Switch, and guess what? There are some “New Story Elements” thrown in there. They even had the nerve to highlight that in their trailer. I’ve got to say, I’m not a fan of their tactics.

In other news, Nintendo now has its own music app. I mean, why not, right? And just to keep things interesting, there’s a little cameo from something called bloodvertising.

After the break, Gui dives into some classic brawlers. First up is the Switch version of Double Dragon Advance, followed by Arcade Archives – Metamorphic Force. Meanwhile, Jon has been exploring the Monster Hunter Wilds beta. Greg is embracing the spooky vibes with Ghouls ‘n Ghosts and Castlevania. James wraps up New Business by checking out Rogue Flight, a game that takes inspiration from Star Fox.

Big news: next week marks episode 900, and we’d love your help with the inbox!
