“Cool and Reasonable” and “The Internet” Don’t Mix – The TouchArcade Show #497

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show we talk about the new Nintendo Switch OLED model and why it’s not surprising in the least that it didn’t turn out to be a “Switch Pro.” I then explain the maddening debacle of me trying to buy an Xbox Series X through Walmart’s All Access program, and just to add a little prologue to the miserable experience I recount on the show, after we were done recording I received an email that they’re shipping me the console now. Good grief. We then jump into all the big mobile gaming stories of the week, as we always do, and you can find links to all of that in the Show Notes below.

Don’t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to [email protected]. We read ’em all, and love decoding messages written entirely in emoji. As always, you can listen to us with the links below… And if you like what you hear, please subscribe and/or drop us a review in iTunes. Much appreciated!
