2026 is gonna be a big year full of some great anniversaries, new games, and lots more GameCube content! Mike & Neil talk about things to look forward this year for the podcast and for the world of gaming while diving into some news in the Nintendo world and wondering why people need salt content warning labels on jars of pickles.

It's time for the annual year in review! After taking a break from podcasting in 2024 Mike & Neil look back on the year that was, their achievements in life and podcasting as well as some of the year's biggest stories in the game industry. The boys will be returning in January next year after a little holiday break so stay tuned for new episodes in 2026!

”We can almost put a stamp of certainty that Kirby Air Ride will never come to a console” said Mike in May of 2021. It takes big men to admit their mistakes and here at Switch 2 The Past, we are those big men. To celebrate the fact that Neil and Mike were both wrong and Kirby Air Riders has released 22 years later, the boys discuss the original game with @gamecubegalaxy joining the show. Though it’s main modes leave a lot to be desired, Kirby Air Ride truly shines in City Trial mode and makes for a chaotic yet addicting game. Additionally Mike & Neil revisit their Kirby eating contest. Can you guess what snack they loudly and obnoxiously crunched into the microphone???
