Austin got a Switch 2 for his father's day gift, and he discusses his experience with it in the time since. There have been a few issues with the transfer, and his daughters aren't too happy with how it handles Animal Crossing. But he did get Mario Kart World, so he and Beej talk about the differences in it and MK 8 Deluxe and how one is a better game than the other. But which is it!?

Beej was able to get a Switch 2 at launch, and today we're talking about the first week of having it and whether or not it was worth the money. There are also tangents into Dragon Quest 3 performance, how Austin was a professional juggler, and why we're friends. It also ends on a dark note about Mario Kart online, so keep your bingo cards ready.https://bksy.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfmhttps://patreon.com/dragonquestfmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfm

Even though we have a DQ movie already with YOUR STORY, we keep hearing from fans asking us about who we think should play in all sorts of movies. So we decided that this week we would give our dream fan casting for DQ8! Let us know what you think and who we got right and wrong and who you'd have in each role!

Austin and Beej are talking about DQ Day and all the announcements that we had! Or the lack thereof, maybe.

Note: This was a livestream on YouTube originally (https://youtube.com/@dqfm), and Beej's mic is out. So the audio is fully Austin, but if you want to watch some good miming interaction, be sure to watch the video.

The 39th anniversary of Dragon Quest is coming up, so we have to talk about what the DQ Day dream is going to have in store for us. Some of it is what we really expect to be showcased, while others are dream games that we hope to see. Either now, or next year with the 40th anniversary of our favorite JRPG series.

We also have special new Side Quest episodes and RPG content available for paid patrons, so check that out!

With the release of Clair Obscur, the discussion has turned around to turn-based RPGs again. Like, what is one, and can they make money? Beej and Austin talk about how Pokemon is a turn-based RPG and the bestselling franchise ever, as well as what makes a good turn-based game and why people associate it with Final Fantasy over Dragon Quest. Even when Dragon is in a game's title. Sheesh.Find us on Bluesky at https://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fmMusic and Sound effects copyright Square Enix.

This week, it's all about the Switch 2 and Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remaster Or is it a Remake? We talk about that and so much more (as always). Did you get a Nintendo Switch 2 pre-ordered? Beej did! Austin did not. Sad trombone time. Let us know if you had any issues or got one yourself and what you think about the Oblivion Remaster, too.https://bsky.app/profile/dragonquest.fm

This week, it's a Patron Request episode! "If you could make your own DQ game, what would it be? In terms of job system or not and monsters that'd have to be included, but also other systems the series has used before like pep powers, becoming munchie, and stuff like that. would love to hear location and character ideas too"
