Used to be better
This show has become more and more unlistenable through the years.

Logan Plant Crushing It
Logan is doing a great job as host! He knows his stuff.

Fun show, but…
I love the show, but Logan Plant ruins it. He comes off arrogant and dismissive. His tone puts me to sleep. He lowers this score to a 3 out of 5 stars.
Oh and Tom Marks is an idiot. Complete moron. IGN needs to kick him to the curb.

Must listen for Nintendo fans!
Have always enjoyed to show, but with Logan at the helm it is a must listen! Love all the other hosts too: Seth, Jada, Reb, and guests. Great mix of fan stories, game criticism, and industry updates. On Nintendo voice chat, they are clearly “playing with Power!”

The best Nintendo Podcast!!
IGNs voice chat is the best podcast for all your Nintendo news!!

Just stick to games
I wish all of the ign podcasts would just talk about games and the consoles. Every ign podcast has devolved so much into political and economic talk that quite frankly they are so uneducated about. This is entertainment and entertainment about entertainment, talk about games, talk about hardware, and pretend you’re actually grateful to be experiencing the incredible things that we get to everyday in gaming.

Logan Plant Era off to an incredible start
I’ve been listening to NVC since the Jose Otero days and it’s unbelievable how instantly Logan has raised the quality level on this show. He clearly has a vision for the podcast and just has a natural talent for hosting. Still early in the Plant era, but he might be the best host the show has had in its history. Exciting times for Nintendo Fans and this podcast really killing it right now.

Just wow
I haven’t been listening long and I feel I can’t go in the backlog and listen because they’re set for that specific time, still though, I’m impressed by how you can set up a great episode. Can’t wait for switch 2

Too many hosts
I generally like the content of this show, but I feel like a large part of the time the host panel feels bloated. They are frequently accidentally running into each other when another person is done talking.

Fine Podcast
The podcast is mostly fine but they seem to have the Steam Deck confused with a blue whale.

Downhill
I used to really like this show but over the past year it has gone downhill. Gone are the days of happy game reviews and now all it seems I get is negativity and finger wagging.

Get Seth a new mic!
Every time this guy is on the podcast, I am subjected to bad audio feedback from whenever Seth is talking. The show is great, but please keep him off the show until he gets a new one!

Nice Comment
This is the best Nintendo Podcast out there! The panel is very knowledgeable and entertaining. I would like to shout out Seth Macy in particular he is very hilarious and it’s cool that there another dude out there who’s into the same nerdy stuff I am into.

Reb hates gamers
Idk why she’s still doing podcasts when she open tweeted that gamers are the worst. Get her hater nonsense out of here
Sad with Disney
Great show!
If only they would say the games that they are talking about more often. For some reason, Video Game journalists and podcasts have a tendency to say the name of a game once then never saying it again even when they continue to talk about it. Just would make it easier to learn what you are talking about because most of us are listening to this while doing other things.

Love the show hate Seth Macy
This is a good show and I like most of the rotating panel. However Seth Macy is the worst. He is the most self absorbed, egotistical and annoying person on any podcast. When he hosts, it might as well be called Seth Macy Chat. He brags and humble brags about things no one cares about, even the panel of guests. To the point where it seems the panel is becoming uncomfortable about how much he’s talking about himself and/or things having nothing to do with Nintendo. And he regularly says he doesn’t play Nintendo games and just plays COD non stop like I did when I was a little kid. Other than him, love the show, keep it up!

Love Nintendo, love the show.
I came late to the switch, around tears of the kingdom. I had fallen off of video games in general recently but Nintendo around the Wii era. The switch has definitely got me back into gaming. This show has helped me find new games to play without wasting wasting money on duds and connect with the switch in a really enjoyable way. I went back and listened to every episode from the beginning of the switch era and look forward every week to new episodes. The hosts and panel members are knowledgeable and have a good eye for great games and I’ve been able to fill my switch based on their recommendations. So thanks a bunch, keep up the good work and get the thing.

Outright Charm
While I first sank into the podcast during the José Otero era, I continued along its evolution. One thing this podcast has never lost is its love for the company, respect for one another and pure consistency. Seth Macy can do no wrong. Thank you for keeping us entertained for years (even during the news droughts)!

My Fav Nintendo Podcast
Honestly, this new host Seth Macy just makes NVC that much more engaging for me! He’s funny and witty and charges up the podcast with some of that electric charm and being able to hold space for podcast regular contributors. Especially leading up to the enigmatic Switch 2, there hasn’t been tons of Nintendo related stuff coming out and he still somehow keeps me coming back to these shows every week.

Forever in my debt
You said you “will forever be in my debt if I rate and write a review” the NVC. Well……you are forever in my debt now. I will be calling soon. Thanks.
THE PAPESTER
Not what it used to be
Seth and Peer are great. But the surrounding cast has really diminished over the years and it’s a shame.

Essential
An absolute must-listen for all Nintendo fans. Current host Seth Macy is hilarious and all the rotating roster of panelists are charming and each bring a unique perspective to bear.

Come on hit me up with more please
I really like how they are all open to each other not only that i’m learning a lot about a but ton of different games that are coming out or already out on nintendo switch like amazing it’s so funny and very relatable to me and others too im dying to get more but i have 2 unnecessary question for Seth how many jokes do you pull in to one game review if you only were able to only to have one game for the switch which game would it be?

Suggestion
You should consider reading through old Nintendo power issues like Game Scoop does with EGM.

Good host
Seth Macy is a good host who is not afraid to share his opinions, unlike the typical wishy-washy host. Enjoyable listen.

I know you’re only supposed to go to Apple Podcasts to leave a five star review to support your favorite shows, but this is a rare example where I had to find a place to post some criticism. I’ll take almost anything in terms of a video game podcast to fill my lonely hours, so my bar is on the floor. NVC should be a no brainer, but Seth is such a terrible host I felt the need to tell the IGN overlords somehow. Where’d you find this guy, a frat house in 2005? He feels too old, too slow, too dumb, and woefully out of touch. You have great panelists that are constantly brought to his level with the easiest jokes and unnecessary tangents. Please let someone who feels like they should be hosting a podcast in 2023 do just that. Maybe I wouldn’t turn it off after 10 minutes every week.

Keep on keeping on, Ninfriendos!
Seth, you’re phenomenal. Thanks for just being authentically you on this podcast. Same for the rest of the crew, you’re all doing a fantastic job. Not every episode is pack full of content, and some episodes go off the rails, but your group dynamic makes listening a joy. Everyone is unabashedly who they are, and Seth, your personality really sets the tone for that. Thanks for brining us all the great Nintendo content week after week, Ninfriendos. Keep on keeping on!

Time for a new host
Let Kat host this show and then time for a new crew.

IGN ignored Veterans Day, thank you Seth for calling it out!
I changed my rating to a 5 star after Seth called out IGN for completely ignoring Veterans Day. Thank you for calling that out and for your service!!

no more kat
kat should leave she’s so annoying 💀
pregnant man emoji 🫃
Please!!! No more Seth!!
I like podcast, however, can we get another host? The annoying tangents Seth makes gets old very quick. Please bring back Casey or let other folks take the hosting responsibilities. We get it, he’s not a regular dad, he’s a cool dad 😒.

WHAT HAPPENED???
AS MUCH AS I want to say I like this podcast because of the info, and topics I HATE SETH he is so annoying just talking over guests and thinks buds the main character… someone needs to tell he’s just delusional…

Not what it used to be - Old time listener
The show was best when Zach, Brian and Peer were on. Set his doing a good job with the flow , much better than Casey. Kat is knowledgeable and has great takes and usually agree with their opinion regarding Nintendo. So why would I score lower? Reb's high pitch voice is annoying - like nails on a chalkboard. Seriously she has a super annoying personality. I've been listening less but still worth a listen.

Best Nintendo podcast!
Nice comment
This is my favorite Nintendo podcast! I’ve loved Zack, Casey, and now Seth as hosts and the cast members are great! Could use some more Tom Marks action though :)
Can I some free swag for this review? Pretty please?
Love you guys!

I have a theory
I think Calamity Ganon from botw was demise from skyward sword . One when we first see him his flying around like a flying snake note there are no wings flying like demise did skyward sword. Two when we fight him he turns into a giant shekai monster so theory debunked right wrong the hyrule Encyclopedia clearly states that his form changes every generation and when he transformed into the giant bore it simbleises thes era in hyrule where hunting have become more common and hyrule is mostly wilderness

This podcast is great!
Love this podcast, really great insight and fun to listen to. Kay Bailey, Seth, Jada and the crew are awesome! Look forward to it every week! However please never review another mario movie 😂

Was once a great podcast
This was a great podcast in years past. Matt Casamassina, Rich George, & Jose Otero were all great host during their respective runs. Unfortunately over the past few years, NVC has devolved into utter trash. They’ve had a rotating door of host and some of the co-host are incredibly annoying. This “Kat” 🙄Bailey person is just the worst. There are much better, Nintendo focused podcast out there to choose from.

Best Nintendo Podcast
Hey if ya want a good podcast from IGN, this one is it :) Super good hosts and all the Nintendo goodies are there! Been listening to it when it first came out, and the present episodes are really good over the last decade :)

Seth is doing a great job as the new host
Pretty hilarious that they forgot to censor out Peer saying f word in the newest episode. And the drink making segment was really fun I like how off script it felt. Also I love this podcast I feel blessed to be listening to this current era of the podcast live.

NVC
I love this show and listen weekly and have for years. Thank you for the free content. It is difficult for me to keep up on all of the games that come out and often I hear the crew talking about a game I didn’t know of by hearing about what they are playing. This has opened me up to many new games that I love but may have never heard of.

Favorite podcast (of them all)
Best Nintendo podcast, and actually my favorite of any podcast. They put a lot of care and effort into making it a great show and I listen to a lot of them, but none can beat the greatest.
