Broadcast live on https://www.twitch.tv/dkvine the morning of the Switch 2's launch, Hyle and Matt kick off a new era with a leisurely chat about what the video game announcement season (formerly known as E3) means to them before discussing the Stinky Ape Summer ahead. Nintendo Directs! Xbox Showcases! And at the center of it all: Donkey Kong Bananza!

"En 1996, su stick analógico y su arquitectura gráfica, revolucionaria para la época, cambiaron para siempre la forma de interactuar en los videojuegos en tres dimensiones. Nintendo 64 fue una consola única que redefinió el concepto de los juegos en 3D y alumbró algunos de los mejores títulos de la historia. Desde Super Mario 64, que rompió los esquemas de las plataformas en 3D, hasta GoldenEye 007, el cual sentó las bases para los FPS en consolas y multijugador en línea. Más tarde, Banjo-Kazooie se convirtió en un referente para los juegos de aventura gracias a un mundo lleno de secretos y personajes carismáticos, mientras que The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time rompía moldes y se convertía en uno de los más grandes videojuegos de todos los tiempos".Gamepress ha publicado La Leyenda de Nintendo 64, libro/revista coordinado por Sergio Martín y con nuestro también invitado Manuel Sagra, del podcast “Hadoken Rojo”. Subimos también a la Nabucodonosor al editor de Gamepress José Ángel Ciudad. Con ellos, y desde la perspectiva del tiempo, analizamos la importancia de Nintendo 64.Con la mirada al pasado, hacemos un homenaje con Don Víctor al grandísimo y eterno Don Mariano Ozores. D.E.P.

Then, in the news, the Nintendo Switch 2 has continued to dominate the news cycle, with people leaking things still, and The Big N's stock skyrocketing! Also, Moon Studios wants Banjo-Kazooie back, Dragon Quest 3 and Super Mario Party Jamboree were huge hits in Japan in 2024, and could the Nintendo Switch get "one last big title?" Finally, in the main event, the trio look at the first year of the Nintendo Switch 2 and predict what franchises might show up in it! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the Nintendo Entertainment Podcast!

Deze talkshow wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door MSI. Alle meningen in deze video zijn onze eigen. MSI heeft inhoudelijk geen inspraak op de content en zien de video net als jullie hier voor het eerst op de site. We zitten op de vrijdag wat twee dingen betekend. Ten eerste dat het weekend er aan komt en ten tweede dat drie presentatoren anderhalf lang hebben zitten discussiëren over games en nerd-nieuws zodat jij dat in een nieuwe editie van Einde van de Week Live tot je kan nemen. Het praatprogramma waarin drie hosts het belangrijkste game gerelateerde nieuws doornemen. Dit keer zitten Daan, Huey en JJ achter de desk. Een fikse reeks aan onderwerpen passeert de rubriek. Natuurlijk kijken de drie terug op de Xbox Developers Direct van donderdag, maar er komen ook topics over Assassin's Creed Shadows, Wolverine, de Horizon MMO en de mogelijke terugkeer van Game Mania langs. Dit alles en meer ga je zien en horen in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 24 januari 2025. De Horizon MMO gaat mogelijk niet door en Game Mania komt misschien terug In andere onderwerpen wordt gepraat over Phantom Black Zero wiens trailer tot nogal wat enthousiasme op de redactie leidde, Astrobot dat lof krijgt uit opvallende hoek en de verhoging van de prijs van een abonnement op Netflix. Let's get medieval met Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Op 3 februari is het zover. Dan kun je met Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 vol de Middeleeuwen induiken. Als je de media een beetje volgt dan weet je dat de eerste previews vrijwel unaniem enthousiast zijn. Wij waren dezelfde mening toegedaan. Logisch dus dat we ons de komende weken nog harder gaan verheugen op dit spel. Wil je nu al meer info hebben over Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 dan kun je dat hier vinden.

Because I know you've always wondered how (fish is made).

In this episode of the Soul of a Gamer Podcast, Scott and his co-host discuss their most frustrating moments in gaming, focusing on challenging boss fights and platforming mechanics. They share personal anecdotes about games that have tested their patience, including the infamous Dragon Age 2 boss fight and the difficulties faced in platformers like Hollow Knight. The conversation delves into the design flaws of games that lead to player frustration, particularly around save mechanics and unclear gameplay instructions. In this conversation, the hosts delve into their experiences with challenging boss fights in games like Elden Ring and Dark Souls, sharing their frustrations and triumphs. They also reflect on nostalgic gaming experiences, particularly their first encounters with iconic games like Banjo-Kazooie and the impact of early gaming on their lives. In this engaging conversation, the hosts reflect on their nostalgic gaming experiences, particularly focusing on Pokémon and its impact on their childhood. They share humorous anecdotes about their early gaming days, unexpected discoveries in gaming, and the emotional moments that certain games have evoked in them. The discussion also touches on how opinions about games can evolve over time, especially when influenced by friends and loved ones. The hosts emphasize the importance of gaming culture and the community that surrounds it, expressing gratitude towards those who preserve and enhance gaming experiences.

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, you could obtain a hood ornament called "The Spirit of Pants". But on this episode of the Kongversation, we argue that Mr. Pants is the true spirit of Rare. Honoring 20 years of the greatest puzzle game of all time, Hyle and Freezer examine the in-universe history of Rare's underwear mogul and television presenter who's appeared and been alluded to across their shared universe!

On this episode, we explore the hottest takes on video game from the members of our community, and review a game that B-Ross calls; "Banjo-Kazooie meets Hellraiser".Super Garbage Day DiscordSuper Garbage Day PatreonB-Ross's Twitch StreamVanfernal's Retro Stream ShowSupport the showShow Links: https://linktr.ee/supergarbagedayHosted by: B-Ross and Vanfernal Produced and edited by: B-Ross Email us at: supergarbageday@gmail.com

The Geek Critique returns to the Kongversation to help Hyle grapple with a newly relevant question now that Banjo-Tooie is on Nintendo Switch Online: What is it about the game that's historically kept it from clicking with fans of even the original Banjo-Kazooie, or inspired rabid devotion that eclipses all else? With NSO making it easier than ever to get into it and helping to mitigate the issues for the former, Hyle believes he has an answer for the latter. Banjo-Tooie is the ultimate game for Rare sickos!

The guys are joined by Tiffany Gilly-Forrer to look back on a Console Crusade Top 100 game!

As every October 23rd comes around, Fallout fans are reminded of the missed opportunity for Bethesda to have their own "N7 Day" with the franchise. Well, 2024 is the year they finally took action and put fan demands into motion! What took place is, quite frankly, a whole lot of nothing. The Dukes sift through the fallout (!) of this showcase and what Bethesda can do to make 2025's showing a much better, more worthwhile one. While it's Fallout Day, it also appears to be Digital Day for Xbox! 91% of US players are buying games digitally and half of Xbox's customers have bought into their discless console. Has Xbox's push into cloud gaming and Game Pass been vindicated in light of these statistics? Plus, we have info on 2025's Call Of Duty the very week that Black Ops 6 drops! What does Activision have in store for us? More changes, it seems! We also get into the Banjo Kazooie kerfuffle, Helldivers 2 on Xbox, Cog's love of Metaphor, the surprise that is TMNT: Mutants Unleashed, and plenty more! Learn more about your ad choices.

Xbox raises prices and shuffles up their subscription offering in a crummy way while saying it'll lead to a better service in the future. Also: thoughts on the Concord beta, the future of Driver, PlayStation's list for ChinaJoy, WWE Superstars in Call of Duty, and more Banjo-Kazooie talk than you get most weeks. Subscribe now!

After years of conversation on the topic, Xbox has finally made long anticipated adjustments to its popular subscription service. Day one Game Pass games are gone from its standard tier and all have seen a price hike. The conversation naturally navigates itself to the "why" in this situation. All subscription services go up whether it's Netflix, Disney+, or Spotify. Is it because of Black Ops 6 impending? Is Day One Game Pass hurting Xbox? Is $20 enough to stop any form of bleeding with that in mind? Are they extracting maximum value from the service at its peak? Are they setting a newer, higher standard for the batch of new subscribers that will join with the launch of a new Call Of Duty game? There's many ways for us to assess, so we'll comb through all of them carefully! Furthermore, we have details on Hellblade 2's performance on the market. From sales to engagement, there are question marks about what this game has done for the platform, so the Dukes dissect what information Circana has provided on that matter. Plus more on Banjo Kazooie, LEGO Horizon on Xbox, the questionable Fire Stick TV ad, Bioshock updates, Dragon Age: Veilguard romance options, and plenty more!
