Jaymo kicks things off with an update on his journey through the Splatoon 3 roguelike, where he's inching closer to the true ending. He also dives into the fiery new addition to Marvel Snap, where Red Hulk's power grows with your opponent's unspent energy, adding a sizzling layer of strategy to the game.

Mike, on the other hand, is still ensnared by the card-flipping mayhem of Belatro, where unlocking jokers is a high-stakes game. He's also ventured into the enigmatic world of The Room 4: Old Sins, unraveling occult mysteries through a puzzle box of an attic.

The gaming chatter doesn't end there! The guys discuss the animated X-Men '97 series, with a special nod to an episode that'll resonate with retro game lovers. Plus, they share their surprise and curiosity over Comedy Central's announcement of a Golden Axe animated series and ponder whether Knuckles will punch up the Paramount Plus lineup.

For a dose of co-op nostalgia, Mike recounts his complete playthrough of Shredder's Revenge with a friend, while Jaymo reflects on the game's unlimited credits and if they lose the challenge of the classic arcade experience.

As they gear up for season two, Mike and Jaymo tease the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 2 episode featuring Jaymo's brothers and invite you to join the hype train. So make sure to subscribe, follow, and leave a review for The Old Switch-a-roo on your favorite podcast platform.
