This week on Nintendo Pow Block:Edward Varnell goes solo to cover a packed week of Nintendo news. Nintendo is teaming up with the Interstate Scholastic Esports Alliance to bring competitive gaming to schools, letting over 80,000 students jump into Smash Ultimate, Splatoon 3, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with free NSO memberships and codes to get them started.On the flip side, Pokémon scalpers are at it again. McDonald's Japan had to pull its Pokémon card Happy Meal promo in just 24 hours, and scalpers showed up in full force at the 2025 Pokémon World Championships to snatch up exclusive merch for resale—leaving fans frustrated once more.Edward also chats about the chances of Tekken 8 making it to Switch 2, Bandai Namco's accidental tease of a Tales of Xillia remaster, and the surprise arrival of Chibi-Robo on the GameCube NSO Expansion Pack. It's a fun mix of esports, Pokémon chaos, and some classic Nintendo goodness.This and more on Nintendo Pow Block!Follow our Hosts: Edward Varnell, Cofounder of Boss Rush NetworkCorey Dirrig, Founder of Boss Rush Media and the Boss Rush NetworkJoin the Boss Rush Community: Join the Boss Rush Network Community DiscordFollow Boss Rush Network: Follow Boss Rush Network on X/Twitter, Bluesky, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, and InstagramSupport Boss Rush Network:Support Boss Rush on Patreon and buy merch on our Store.
