    Leftists
    Ignore hobby lobby’s Christian values if you wanna shop there. Dumb. Because they have a moral standard to abide by you want to basically trash them? The left really irritates me.

    Great show listen every week
    Great show listen every week on the drive to and from work. Do you guys think Nintendo will let you carry your animal crossing island over to the switch 2?

    Dads Know Best
    Whether it’s Justin, Marty, Jesse or Tim, I prefer my Nintendo news be fed to me by grizzled Nintendo veterans as they chew it up and spit it into my mouth. I’m a baby bird. Feed it to me Gen X style!

    Great Nintendo Podcast
    Found this podcast shortly after getting the OLED switch when it launched. All of the Dads do a great job at keeping us all informed with all the latest news and happenings. I like the different Dads perspectives and look forward to hearing new episodes every week.

    Nintendo + Dads = A Great Podcast
    Nintendo Dads is so much more than just a podcast about Nintendo news. Yes, they cover news from the greatest video game maker in the world, but they also talk about what it’s like to be a parent and the struggles along the way. In addition they’ve really created an incredible community online that is nontoxic and friendly no matter if you’re a parent or not. A true rarity in this world of ours!

    Awesome Nintendo Focused Podcast
    Simplemonk here again. Using my daughter’s account this time to help promote this awesome podcast. But nobody is clearing listening to me because they haven’t reached #1 Nintendo podcast yet. I’m really disappointed in everyone! Justin, Jesse, Tim and Marty are some great guys and deserve to reach the top!

    Wonderful Nintendo Focused Podcast
    Simplemonk here using my wife’s account to help promote this wonderful podcast. Justin, Jesse, Tim and Marty are some great guys. Fun to listen and it’s safe to listen to with my son it the car. A+ podcast in my opinion.

    Great Nintendo Focused Podcast
    Justin, Jesse, Tim and Marty are some great guys. Fun to listen to and listening to them on the way home from work can always de-stress me before I get home. These guys have helped me more than they’ll ever know. I really appreciate y’all!

    Game Changing Podcast!
    Love the podcast! Glad to know there are plenty of dads like me out there who have an unrivaled love of Nintendo games. Your Discord community is also probably the best one on the internet. Keep up the good work!

    A Family Friendly Nintendo Show
    This is a great show covering Nintendo games and all. It is a lot of fun to listen to with my family as we are driving places.
  • Joelkun
    Really great show!
    These guys have been putting on a great, fun show to listen to. They have extended conversations about what’s going on in the world of Nintendo, which provides a welcome relief from the daily toils of life (as well as some of the more serious content that can sometimes overload my podcast feed). The main hosts have diverse tastes and it’s nice to hear a variety of perspectives on each game. One thing that would make discussions better would be to try and mention what game they were talking about before moving on to the next topic. I often don’t register the title being discussed, but then something said will pique my interest and I’ll have to go back to see what the title was. But thanks for all the hard work you guys put into the show and your community.

    Wholesome Nintendo Goodness!!!
    I’ve been listening to The Nintendo Dads podcast for years now and I have found so many other great gaming podcasts thanks to these guys! Their show is family friendly and their community is great and very welcoming! Give these guys a listen and if you like what you hear consider joining their Patreon and hop into some of their awesome community activities!!! In November of 2022, I had the pleasure of meeting these guys in person at Extra Life and they were just as welcoming and cool as they seem on the show. Thanks for all the great entertainment you guys have given me throughout the years and keep up the great work!!! Your Patron / Friend, Andy Penezic (AKA The Ninformant)

    Amazing for Dads and non-Dads
    I first got into this podcast before I became a dad. I was interested to see how dads viewed video games and whether or not I could still game when I became one. I’m glad to say that this isn’t an exclusive podcast, but it is very inclusionary to us all. I am now a dad of 2, with another one on the way, and I thoroughly enjoy the insight of dads on the gaming side with sprinkles of fatherly advice. The community is bar-none on the discord side, and the streams are always so much fun. You would be hard pressed to find another podcast that is equal to this one, yet it stands out for having conversations with us, not just talking at us. I feel like this podcast conveys that feeling and if you are looking for a podcast that can help you love Nintendo more, this is the one. Great job, guys!
  • Swafjmeeheh
    Thanks
    As a dad myself that loves to game with small kids I find it hard to make time to play much switch anymore. But listening to you guys at least keeps me in the loop. Keep up the good work
  • Hoot Owl Homeschool
    I keep on listening!
    I think all you dads have some great chemistry together. I laugh at the banter. I get some useful Nintendo game insight and news from a variety of perspectives. I started listening right before the initial Covid lockdowns in March 2020 and I keep on coming back. It has kept me sane. If your show is considered a dumpster fire then WHO CARES!... I want to stick around the burning stinking heap with all of you anyways.

    Some words
    They were a 4 star podcast but the manscape sponsorship brings them down to 1 star.
  • DadNotDude
    Like a chat with friends!
    The Nintendo Dads podcast reminds me of a weekly roundtable chat among friends. Probably because it is, literally, for them, but they do make the listener feel included in that experience. I look forward to the live show every week!

    Some words + Some Names

    Don’t waste your time
    Low quality audio, not my favorite hosts This is me being nice
  • Fartz911$
    Great podcast
    I look forward to the dads each week, it’s in my top 5 podcasts and is always listened to the Saturday after recording. I do wish the other podcasts were in their own subscription, but that’s my gripe and isn’t a reflection of the shows quality. I also miss the old logo.
  • Pyronox
    They broke something good
    I listened for years, but after being frustrated for months of having multiple shows shoved into one subscription I gave up. I wish they would split after dark, animal crossing, and the dinner shows into separate podcasts.

    Great video game dads
    Nintendo dads is a quality show which provides great content to the listeners. Discussions revolving around news and rumors are very entertaining, especially when it comes to you my favorite subject, ( other than my wife and kids) video games! Myself and my children enjoy listening to your programs :-). Keep up the good work.
  • Solo_something
    Subscriber for life, but...
    Awesome show, all great supportive dads with clean show that is very informative and entertaining. I do not miss a week. Two heads up though with neutral opinion: 1) they seem to never answer emails directly to you if you send one to email address stated at end of show rather they randomly read some at end of random shows, and 2) Community Spotlight seems often to be reserved for their guest that are business associates in podcast community rather than having on a paid patreon.
  • Quag311
    Their YouTube stream is fantastic
    Down to earth guys talk about their love of Nintendo and playing games with their kids. They interact with the fans during their Wednesday podcast stream. Each Dad represents a specific gaming genre and franchise. Their predictions are usually spot on.
  • Helping Others with Truth
    Dads After Dark are Way better
    These guys have poor mics and not just after quarantine. One guy sounds like he speaks into a radio from a tunnel.
  • Rjrw92
    Outstanding show
    Great show! It’s a lot of fun to listen to these guys have a good time.
  • FormerMasterofCoin
    This is a very good show.
    I’ve been listening off and on since the old days of the show. I remember the feast or famine days of the Wii U. I’m glad these guys are still recording the show!
  • Nikitagoth
    They ROCK!!!
    The Nintendo Dads are the BEST!

    Yay they’re amazing
    Is cool
  • Jay88Fitness
    Awesome Podcast
    Always enteraining and informative!
  • P1_Blackbeard
    These guys rock!!!
    I’ve been listening to these guys for about a year now and I can’t get enough! Every single one of these guys are very entertaining. I love how they all sit around and talk video games and video game news just like I would if I were talking to my brother and/or buddies. Something else I like is that they talk about video games and family stuff and absolutely NO POLITICS or trying to push political agendas like soooo many others do. If you’re looking to escape all that crap and just listen to a great gaming podcast whilst driving, working or hanging out then there’s no better way than to hang with bunch of rad NINTENDO DADS. God bless and keep doing an awesome job, guys!

    They aight
    Made me feel weird af at times though.

    Is this cheating
    I’ve been listening since 2016 and love being apart of this community. I’ve since become the Discord Community Manager, so, does that mean I’m cheating by submitting a 5 star review? Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B A start. There. Now the cheat is official. ;)
  • davidjeffries
    Jesse is the best of the dads
    It’s true!
  • Me1864
    Nice show
    A very nice show but they should really change the name of the show to Pokémon Dads because they spend half their time talking about this stupid game.
  • Kleva da great
    A must have podcast
    I wanna keep it short and sweet . I love the show give it a listen and you’ll understand ❤️ KlevaDaGreat -
  • XrylandX
    Possibly the worst thing I’ve ever heard.
    You’re better off getting your Nintendo fix by reading N64 Nintendo power magazines.

    Long time, first time
    Hey Nintendo Dads! Love the show, subscribed earlier this year and make time to listen to most episodes while I commute to work, go on backpacking trips and take my dog for walks. I’m a lifelong Nintendo fan like you all and appreciate your guys deep knowledge of the company and wholesome conversations. A bit of constructive criticism on the podcast production quality, your ‘sound guy’ Jesse sounds like ya’ll have him trapped in a padded box. When listening to the show I have to toggle my volume every time Jesse is talking, he’s about 5 clicks in volume lower than everyone else’s audio. I really want to hear what Jesse has to say but most often I miss a portion of it because I didn’t toggle my volume to be louder for him. I really hope you guys can solve this audio issue to an otherwise perfect show! Keep up the great work gang! Megaman for LIFE!
  • JacksRage
    Great show from great real people.
    As a Nintendo dad myself I can relate to so much on this show. The manner the conversations are had and the topics keep me listening to every episode.
  • Kejomo
    Better than average
    I would like to start out by saying some of the positive aspects of this podcast. First of all, they genuinely seem to have a passion for all things Nintendo. Secondly, they are mostly safe to listen to in a car full of kids. And finally, they have a unique perspective when it comes to gaming and family that you don’t get with other podcasts. Now, some of the negatives. I usually have to skip two of the guys when they are talking about a game that I would like to play because they cannot help but go into way to much detail and get into “spoiler territory”. My only other complaint is the guy in Ireland. When he is not hosting, he seems tired and disinterested in the discussion. In conclusion, it’s not a bad but could be better.

    Nintendo for parents by parents
    Are you a mom or a dad that loves Nintendo? This is the podcast for you.
  • Jordanmocny
    Awesome show
    Greta personality and good content. A good weekly podcast that goes into length and keeps things informative and entertaining.
  • Warthog30
    Mediocre
    Not that good. I’m a dad. This is pretty bad. There’s some good stuff but there’s 2 hrs of drivel around it. That and the patreon plugs are overwhelming. Come on guys.....if you’re gonna ask for $$ at least provide some good content and value. Why even ask for $$? It comes across as disingenuous. I’m not a fan.

    Great Groups of Dads Talking About Games with a Side of Mental Health
    These guys have a lot of fun each week. They have great humor and a positive but fair as they review the many new Switch and DS games coming out. They also discuss video games impact on mental health regularly which is an interesting topic. Just be warned that each show is very long. If you have the time though, it’s a great show!
  • jtathec
    Excellent
    If you're a Dad and you like Nintendo, guess what? Yep, this podcast is for you. Relatable on so many levels. One of the highlights of my week. Retro Rewind is great, too.
