With Mario Kart World on the horizon, we thought it would be a good time for us to share a very fun story about Mario Kart 7 and how we built real-life Mario Karts when we launched that game. This story has a lot of twists and turns like how a family friend company like Nintendo came to partner with a show on MTV called "Pimp My Ride" and a haunted hotel. Yes... haunted! It's so fun to look back on this incredible project so we hope you enjoy the video.

We're just days away from the big Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct and we're SO excited to see more of this game. We were already pretty hyped for this game when we saw it in the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct but we're ready to learn even more. This game has very high price point at $80 so we do need to see what makes this game big. Nintendo's been out there saying just that, so we're hoping to see it for ourselves in this Direct. What do you think? Do you have a few things on your list that you need to see in this Direct to convince you to pick-up a Switch 2 and Mario Kart World? Let us know in the comments!

Today, we're sharing a really special story about our time with Shinya Takahashi and Yoshiaki Koizumi - the two masterminds behind Nintendo Switch and the developers who are likely now working on Nintendo Switch 2! We had the great opportunity to spend two weeks with both of them on a cross country tour when Nintendo Switch launched in 2017 and it was amazing to get to know them and truly absorb from the geniuses themselves the philosophy and inspiration behind Nintendo Switch. We haven't seen or heard from the developers in awhile but we think they'll make an appearance for Switch 2 and we can't wait to see them again. Also in this episode, we play a fun game of "guess the developer" and we have a massive "games we're playing" segment. We're playing seven games right now! We also talk about the latest Nintendo sales information and what is going on with the trading feature in Pokemon TCG Pocket in our news section. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon subscribers.

Today, we have another ex-Nintendo employee on to react to the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. Stephenie worked at Nintendo for 11 years and saw the company through the Nintendo 3DS/Wii U AND Nintendo Switch eras. She also famously produced the Nintendo Minute series. She's one of our good friends and we can't wait to dish about what she thought of the Switch 2 reveal. Also in this episode, we talk about the games we're playing and Stephenie blows our minds with a new game that was so not on our radar but now definitely is. We also talk about the Xbox Developer Direct and some other gaming news.

Today we're going to talk about the questions Nintendo really doesn't want you to ask about Switch 2 right now. This is something that happens with every new product and a term that the one and only Reggie Fils-Aime used to use is "soft underbelly" which means these are the areas where you might be vulnerable. So what are these questions and how might Nintendo answer them? Also in this episode, we play a rousing game of Would You Rather - Switch 2 edition and we are playing the new Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and share how we're liking the game.

We're doing it a really fun way where we each get to remove games off of a huge list and we also have a save each in case the other person removes a game that is unacceptable. Also in this episode, we check back on our 2024 predictions. Spoiler, we did not do very well since we were really expecting Switch 2 to be announced and come out this year!
