Infendo Radio 829: Switch 2 Exploit, Handheld Showdown & Halloween Games
🔓 Is Nintendo Switch 2 already being exploited? On Infendo Radio episode 829 , Eugene, Justin, and Brandon discuss the SmileBASIC 4 exploit proof of concept, pit their enormous handheld gaming collections against one another, and dig into creepy games for Halloween. Nintendo Switch 2 exploit: what happened with SmileBASIC 4? The guys discuss an early Nintendo Switch 2 exploit demonstration involving SmileBASIC 4 , Nintendo’s quick removal of the app from the eShop, and what the proof of concept might mean for future homebrew. An early technical demonstration does not mean a widely available console jailbreak, but the news has the crew wondering what comes next. The great handheld console collection showdown 📱 Just how many handheld systems can three Nintendo fans collect? Eugene, Justin, and Brandon tally up their Game Boys, Nintendo DS and 3DS systems, Switch consoles, retro emulation handhelds, and some stranger entries. The rules—and whether a few questionable gadgets really count—become half the fun. Change the System: what we’re playing Eugene’s games and projects 🎮 Eugene revisits BioShock Infinite , explores Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and spooky indie game Well Dweller , then shows off a newly 3D-printed pumpkin TIE fighter. He also has a retro-gaming pickup to share: Nintendo’s R.O.B. (Robotic Operating Buddy). Justin’s games and tabletop surprise 🎮 Justin finishes Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned , returns to Batman: Arkham Asylum , checks out the Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse demo, and reveals a tabletop Plinko game. Brandon’s Halloween horror picks 🎃 Brandon revisits Shadow Man Remastered and dives into Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water . The crew compares the thrills, quirks, and unintentionally funny moments of retro-flavored horror.
