This week’s episode of All Things Nintendo is about the Nintendo Switch’s first 5th anniversary. Anniversaries are coming, so Brian invites Game informant Director of online content Ben Reeves returns to talk about the most important milestones of the first half decade of the Switch, as well as share some stories from the past 5 years related to the system.
Note: Brian wasn’t on duty this week, so the episode was taped a week early. If any notable news broke out in the last week, All Things Nintendo will report next week.
