Go Nintendo Podcast

Number 976With less than a month to go until Switch 2, the Nintendo news is coming out at a furious pace! So much to cover in this episode, and it only helps to push Switch 2 hype higher! Man, we're getting closer to June 5th with every day, yet the wait is somehow getting tougher!

Number 975I hope you guys feel the same, but I think there was a little magic in this episode. Was it because of all the big Nintendo news? Perhaps it was tied to the two new podcast members? Maybe it was just the random off-shoots and stupid jokes? I'll leave it up to you guys to decide!

Number 974A bombshell story came out about Nintendo homebrew and it's causing all kinds of chaos, so you know we have to cover it. We also get in on the Switch 2 pre-order madness that's continuing around the world, and share details on the big Switch firmware update that just came out. So much Nintendo news to cover, so little time!

Number 973After a month of Covid, we finally have the crew back in person! It's perfect timing too, because we all have our Switch 2 pre-order stories to share! Did we all manage to snag one or were we left out in the cold?

Number 972We FINALLY know the Switch 2 pre-order date in the U.S. and Canada! Now it's time to panic about actually getting one locked down! While we crash out over that we also go over the Mario Kart World Direct, dive into gamer hate, discuss the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" mentality with Nintendo and SO much more.

Number 971We're nearing two weeks removed from the Switch 2 reveal and all hell is still breaking loose. Tariff talk plagues the system, price woes grow bigger, pre-orders in North America are still up in the air, and Nintendo's damage control seems to be having an opposite effect. It's a tough time to be a Nintendo fan right now, be we cut through all the noise to share what's really going on!

Number 970Is this the most insane week Nintendo has ever been through? From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows...and then somehow things got even worse! We cover the Switch 2 Direct from top to bottom, highlight every controversy, talk about the horrendous decisions Nintendo has to make and so much more. It's a wild time to be a Big N fan, and things are only going to get more crazy from here!

Number 969We're just a few days away from the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct and Nintendo is keeping us busy with a Direct all about the original Switch! We cover everything from that event, dive into the latest Switch 2 rumbles, and just share our excitement in general for all the big Nintendo news right now!

 Number 968Kirby joins us for our latest episode to enjoy the first show of Spring 2025! Believe it or not, we're extremely game-focused in our discussions today. It's almost like we're on a podcast about gaming! Don't worry though, we still manage to sneak in stupid topics and silly jokes as well.

Number 967Is the Switch 2 getting GameCube games? Is Pokémon GO in big trouble? Am I a horrible backseat gamer? Is Wanderstop worth your time? Are we going to fail miserably at the music trivia section? Find out all this and SO much more in today's episode!

Number 966Another week, another deluge of stuff to talk about! Nintendo has a major piracy win, Sakurai shows Iwata some love, Nintendo cracks down on hentai games, and SO much more. We also have spoiler-free talks about Daredevil, Severance, and filler episodes. There's also plenty of Game Boy love, a chat about puzzle games and plenty to keep you entertained!

Number 965Time to recap the latest Pokemon Presents, which brought all sorts of fun reveals with it. We also talk about a former Nintendo employee who thinks June is the month for Switch 2, but a GN reader has a different take! All that plus talk about Gundam, bagels, Kojima and Captain America and PLENTY more!

Number 964Are tariffs coming for Switch 2? Why are My Nintendo Gold Points going away? What Bobby Kotick fact made me literally sick to my stomach? Why does Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man confuse me? Did the N64 almost use CDs? What did we think of Paddington in Peru? Is Love REALLY blind?! All this and SO much more in today's podcast!

Number 963Snowy weather at GN HQ means it's a two-person show this week. Mom Brain and I hold down the fort and bring you the latest Switch 2 rumors, including talks of the system being sold on the black market for some serious cash. We also chat about Captain America: Brave New World (spoiler-free), debate what toys do when we're not watching, and I share my extreme distaste for a very popular game show!

Number 962The Switch 2 news just keeps coming! With Nintendo's most recent financial report released, the Big N is opening up even more on what we can expect from Switch 2. We talk about that, the patents showing off Joy-Con mouse-style input, major sales records for Nintendo games and so much more. It's quite the exciting time to be a Nintendo fan!

Number 961Switch 2 Experience invites went out...did we make the cut? More importantly, did YOU guys make the cut? We talk about that, the latest round of software rumors, enjoy another round of clickbait titles, and so much more. Oh, and guys...is 2025 the year when Nintendo is finally being considered cool?!

Number 960You thought the Switch 2 rumors would end with system's reveal? Well think again, because we've got supposed inside info on software and more! We also have the start of a brand-new feature that hopefully you guys will enjoy. All that, plus our usual antics, questions, movie trivia and so much more!

Number 959This week's episode is a feast in three acts! Of course, the bulk of this episode is all about the Switch 2. In part one, we cover the entire system, Mario Kart and more. In part two, we talk about some of the wild press reactions to the reveal. Third, we get back into the regular routine with goofs, laughs, music trivia and more. It's a banger episode if you ask me!

Number 958This was a seriously busy week when it comes to Switch 2 rumors and we've got the full breakdown for you. CES dummy units, rumored games, retailer listings, Nintendo's comments and so much more! Plus we tackle some other big stories, talk about our recent drone encounter, enjoy some music trivia and just have a good time overall!

Number 957What do we have for the first podcast of 2025? How about some fresh Switch 2 rumors, including motherboard pics, specs and more? That not good enough for you? Perhaps a heartwarming fan story will do the trick. Still not enough? How about the return of Lube for an episode! You get all that and so much more! Oh, and it seems Josh has learned a thing or two as well!

Number 956It's the end of the year, and we've got our top Switch games of 2024 to talk about! We share our top 5 picks of the year, and we also reveal the favorites of our Patreon members! It's an all-out discussion of the year's best, and there were plenty of wonderful titles to spend time with. If you're looking for can't-miss Switch games, we've got the best of the best!

Number 955With holiday festivities afoot, we had to record the podcast on a special day and time. Still, we managed to put together something almost halfway decent! Plenty of Switch 2 details, we share our 2024 Switch recaps, Deux talks about his new addiction to Balatro, and...Nicky Hill does music?!

Number 954This could be our biggest episode yet, news-wise! There's so many reveals to talk about from the Game Awards, plus we share our thoughts on the show in general. We also talk about the basically confirmed Switch 2 news. It's a pretty crazy time in gaming right now, and we're definitely here for it!

Number 953Man, it's almost like this show was put together by professional podcasters. We had a lot to cover and we did it all succinctly! I mean, there's plenty of studio conversations and Nintendo off-shoots, but we still stayed chugging along the whole time. Plus, music makes its triumphant return. What more could you want, really?!

Number 952It's an all guys show today, and with two podcast members we don't see too often! They come back to upset the natural order of things, which keeps us off the rails the entire time. This post-Thanksgiving podcast certainly feels like one, because it's a real trainwreck!

Number 951While we talk about a few fun topics this week, we really dig into the Game Awards and our many issues with nominations, categories and a bunch of other stuff. So odd that we actually talk at great length about game-related stuff! It's almost like we're a serious gaming podcast!

Number 950There's a serious amount of Zelda news to cover this week, including multiple peeks behind the scenes. If you're a Zelda fan, you're going to love this stuff! Don't worry, there's plenty of other topics discussed and our usual antics and off-shoots as well. Oh, and a heaping helping of RPG chatter!

Number 949Have a tough week this week? The GoNintendo Podcast is here to take your mind off things! Drop in to hear talk about Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Pokémon's explosive sales, Death Note, my trip back in time with Zelda: Tri Force Heroes and so much more!

Number 948Nintendo brought us not one, but two different surprises this week! A game trapped on Wii U is being set loose, and we've got an all-new way to enjoy Nintendo's music! On top of that, we rank our favorite candies, talk about the new Life is Strange, details Pokémon's latest success and much more!

Number 947I wasn't planning it, but today ended up being a two-person show with me and Deux. Don't worry, the both of us know how to yap our heads off, so we had plenty to talk about. Believe it or not, most of it was related to videogames, and even Nintendo!

Number 946Austin has left us, but the show must go on! We cover the big Pokémon leak, talk about Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Mario Party, share an interesting email from an angry fan, and plenty more!

Number 945Why is this our longest show ever? Well, we're extremely lucky to have Any Austin join us for this episode! Yes, it's true...a real-life YouTube personality is here at GN HQ! He also happens to be a big GN Podcast fan! We talk all about Nintendo and a bunch of random stuff with him, and it turned out to be a show for the ages. Hopefully you feel the same way!

Number 944Nicky is working and Deux is sick, so Mom Brain and I have to hold the fort down! I think we do an admiral job, covering the Dragon Quest debacle, the latest Switch successor rumors, the horrifying potential of the upcoming Rugrats movie, Zelda's amazing music and plenty more. Oh, and make sure you tune in next week for a MAJOR surprise!

Number 943Of course we're talking about Zelda this week. Don't worry, we keep it spoiler-free! That said, Zelda isn't the only thing we're talking about. More Switch 2 rumors surface, we share a review of the Minecraft soap, I ramble on about game shows. You know how things go by now!

Number 942This is a week of big stories and even bigger discussions. Nintendo and Pokémon lawsuits, Switch successor leaks, and hands-on with some really amazing games. If you're a Nintendo fan, it's an extremely exciting time!

Number 941You want an episode that has it all? Well look no further! We have hands-on impressions from Super Mario Party Jamboree, we talk about the PS5 Pro reveal, get into deep discussion on some seriously out-of-touch people in the game industry, we smell soap, we eat snacks, we do the biggest music trivia ever...it's a super-show if there ever were one!

Number 940We had the chance to play Zelda: Echoes of Time, and we can finally share our impressions! We talk extensively about that, but there's much more to talk about as well. We've got an unbelievable story about our cat, juicy Switch successor rumors, and even a snack taste test!

Number 939There were not one, but two Nintendo Directs this week, which means we've got a bunch of new games to chat about! We've also got some fresh details on recently-released titles, and some big teases of things in the works!

Number 938Got an interesting mix of serious and silly stories this time around, which I think makes for an interesting show. We also bring back trivia with one lucky player, but will they win? All that plus talk of a brand-new weekly feature on GoNintendo. What a time to be alive!!

Number 937It's a boys-only show this week as Mom Brain is off visiting family. That means lots of crazy talk and stupid jokes...oh, and Nintendo news! In all honesty, I don't think we've had an episode where so many of our tangents and off-shoots are videogame related! It's almost like this is a Nintendo podcast!

Number 936We made you wait two weeks for an episode, but we bring you our longest episode ever! We explain our absence, dive into the week's Nintendo news, chat about cereal mascots, share impressions of games we're playing (including a new one coming this week), and so much more. Man, it's so good to be back!

Number 935While Mom Brain couldn't join us for this show, we had the wonderful Kirby return after months of being away. He joins us to talk about Nintendo's trouble with Splatoon players, the huge success of the Pokémon brand, and more! We also share some spoiler-free thoughts on Deadpool & Wolverine, offer impressions on the latest games we're playing, and of course, talk about a bunch of other random stuff!

Number 934There are not one, but TWO different mysteries on this week's GoNintendo Podcast! Oddly enough, both of them involve random packages that showed up at GN HQ! Learn about their secrets and stick around for tons of game impressions, talk of Splatoon's big event, thoughts on the Emio reveal and MUCH more!

Number 933What the hell is Emio and what is Nintendo up to? We talk about that, plus huge milestones for the the Switch and Mario Kart, the big sells in the states for May and much more. We also get lost in the sauce with a McDonald's x JJK taste test, talk game music, chat about Money in the Bank, reminisce about RPGs and PLENTY more!

Number 932Nintendo is going after yet another round of software pirates and we've got the scoop. We also talk about the Legend of Zelda fans who's serving 4 months in prison for being a threat to the public! All that plus talk about new anime, strange foods, and we hear from a particularly chatty George in this episode!

Number 931Pokémon AI controversy! Deep, deep Super Monkey Ball lore! Tantalizing pizza talk! All sorts of Switch game impressions. You get all this and SO much more in our latest episode!

Number 930It's an all hands on deck situation for this week's podcast, as it was one of the biggest weeks of Nintendo news in quite some time. Between Limited Run Games' showcase and the latest Nintendo Direct, Nintendo fans are eating GOOD!

Number 929Boy, do we cover a lot of ground this episode. Plenty of games to talk about from the myriad of game presentations that took place, great questions to cover from listeners, Mom Brain share some deep thoughts on 1000xRESIST, we have double impromptu taste tests, talk more Doctor Who and SO much more.

Number 928The game industry decided to bombard the weekend with game presentations, which left us no choice but to do a random Friday night episode. Even worse, since Friday was filled with showcases as well, I was left to do the podcast wherever I could squeeze it in! That means you're stuck with a solo show, but hopefully it's not too painful! I recap the Summer Game Fest and more, talk about the smaller/bigger reveals and speculate on what'll be showcased in the coming days!

Number 927We're back to a regular show this week, and we've got plenty to catch up on. My saga with Doctor Who continues, Deux is finding his way through ANIMAL WELL, Mom Brain shares thoughts on 1000xRESIST, we discuss Sony's State of Play, gush about weeb stuff, and Nicky Hill goes crazy over Nintendo's new sign!

Number 926Want to hear about what could be the greatest game I've ever played? Get ready to hear me gush all about a Switch title that blew my mind. We also dive into the d-pad versus thumbstick debate, talk about the Switch's major achievement, take a look at the TON of videogame presentations happening in June and much, much more!
