NXpress Nintendo Podcast 245: Pokémon Presents Reaction and Indie Game Extravaganza

This week on the NXpress Nintendo Podcast, Cameron Daxon, Marc Kaliroff, and Campbell Gill tackle a supersized episode packed with reactions about all things Pokémon and reviews of every new indie under the sun. Starting things off, all boys break down all there is to know about the recent Pokémon Presents showcase, from the bevy of updates for the countless Pokémon mobile games to massive blowouts on Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokémon Legends Arceus.

Next up, the gan dive into an indie game extravaganza as each host reviews many of the most notable indies that released following the most recent Indie World presentation. Campbell kicks things off with a deep dive into Boyfriend Dungeon and the perhaps overblown controversy surrounding it, while Cameron provides a wholesome break with the wonderfully wholesome Garden Story. Meanwhile, Marc takes the hosts on an island vacation with Islanders: Console Edition, before Campbell gives another breakdown about the surprisingly bold sequel Axiom Verge 2. Closing things out, Marc provides a look at Pile Up!
