This week we want to dig into this interesting phenomenon that's happen around how people are feeling about Nintendo in the Switch 2 era.

We dig into all the reasons why this might be happening. We also have a massive news section in this podcast talking all about the Pokopia game key card issue, the leaks around The Super Mario Galaxy movie and much more. We're playing some new super fun indie games and we're also deep into Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. We also answer some great questions from our Patreon subscribers. Settle on in.

We're less than a month from Metroid Prime 4 finally coming out on Switch and Switch 2 but there are still a lot of questions we have about this game. Nintendo has shown the game a bit but we're still missing a lot of important information to get us properly hyped for the game. Can Nintendo do this with the time they have left (less than a month - yikes!)? How are you feeling about this game?

Also in this episode, we react to Halo coming to PlayStation 5 marking the end of console wars forever (lol) and we're playing some very interesting new games that we can't wait to tell you about.

The recent announcement of the next Mario movie as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie got us thinking about the next 3D Mario game. Now that Nintendo is starting to truly become an entertainment company, does it make sense that the next 3D Mario game is Super Mario Galaxy 3? We want to study the clues and bread crumbs and see how likely this is. Also in this episode, we go through the rest of the games coming out in 2025 and talk about which ones we're definitely playing and which we'll be skipping. We also have a big new game we've been playing - Hades 2 on Nintendo Switch 2. WOW! Hear our deep impressions of the game so far.

We are still thinking about the big Nintendo Direct last week and we want to dig deeper into people's reaction to the Direct. Tons of games were announced and Nintendo shared a lot of news but somehow, there are fans who still don't seem very excited about what's to come. Why is this? Is the Nintendo Direct formula, something that Nintendo started 10+ years ago, still working to meet Nintendo's goals when there are so many expectations placed on these presentations? We dig into the history and the original goals of a Direct and examine if it's still working for Nintendo. Also in this episode, we're playing a handful of new indie games and we discovered some new details about Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 on Nintendo Switch 2. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

In the Nintendo Direct last week, we saw some really amazing looking amiibo but then after we learned how much they would cost and we were a bit shocked. We wanted to look back at the history of amiibo and examine how things started with amiibo priced at $12.99 and now we're seeing amiibo priced at $49.99! A $50 amiibo is wild and is almost as expensive or sometimes even more expensive than most some games - so what happened? How did we get here? Let's discuss!

The rumor mill is spinning about a potential Nintendo Direct this week and that's got us thinking about leaks at Nintendo. Why are there SO many leaks coming out of Nintendo lately?

The Nintendo Switch 2 game key card situation just took an unexpected turn and we want to dig into one publisher's specific reason they HAD to use a game key card to bring their game to Switch 2.

We've been thinking a lot about what Nintendo's long-term plan is to get new younger players into their gaming ecosystem. With gaming habits changing to SO much in the last few years, Nintendo is going to have to do some other things if they want to stay relevant with the younger generation. It's an interesting time to look into the question since the Switch 2 is selling so well, but this is a topic where they really need to look ahead into the future.

Nintendo is definitely dealing with some challenges around getting launch dates settled for the rest of the announced 2025 Switch 2 games but where does that leave Kirby Air Riders? Is this game really coming out in 2025 and more importantly, does Nintendo feel like HAS to come out in 2025? We talk about how it works inside Nintendo when they make these kinds of decisions.

We've been thinking a lot about the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase that ran yesterday. We think it's very unusual that we're now in August and there are still five major Switch 2 games (Metroid Prime 4, Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, Kirby Air Riders, Elden Ring and Final Fantasy 7 Remake) that are supposedly releasing this year, but somehow don't have a single release date between them. Based on our experience of actually working at Nintendo, this is something they are probably pretty concerned about and trying to get a handle on as soon as possible. Let's talk about what's going on, why it's happening, and what the scenarios are for what could happen from here.

All week long we'll be celebrating with Donkey Kong themed videos every day counting down to the launch of Donkey Kong Bananza. Today we're going to be ranking the best and most iconic songs from across the entire Donkey Kong series. This is a series with some of the best music ever so get settled in with us as we listen to these incredible songs. We already know we'll have to redo this list once Donkey Kong Bananza comes out because the songs in that game already feel like they will be next level. What do you think?

We worked closely with Motokura-san on Super Mario Odyssey while we were at Nintendo and have some fun stories to share about him. Most importantly, we want to dig into him a bit more as a person because we think that will give us a good indication of what to expect from Donkey Kong Bananza.

This week we want to dig into these issues plaguing Mario Kart World. Fans are very unhappy with the latest patch Nintendo put out but maybe even more troubling, the game doesn't seem to have the longevity or replayablilty we all hoped for. So what can Nintendo do to get the game back on track? We have a few ides that they can do in the near, mid and long-term to hopefully help the situation. Also in this episode, we finally learn what Nintendo and Amazon had been fighting about and we're still playing a TON of new games on our Switch 2. All this and so much more is coming right up!  0:00 - 3...2...1 10:15 - Can Nintendo get Mario Kart World back on track?  57:10 - Games we are playing 1:18:59 - News news news Patreon Shout-outs!
