“Get the heck out of the way and let really talented, great people do great work, and be there and support them. The satisfaction is just off the charts.”Doug Bowser is the retired President & CEO of Nintendo of America, and current Board Member of Hasbro. Doug is a sales and marketing executive whose nearly four-decade career runs from consumer goods to video games, having led Nintendo of America through a decade of historic growth. Doug led operations across the Americas from 2019 through the end of 2025. During his tenure, Nintendo grew on the strength of the Nintendo Switch — one of the best-selling video game platforms of all time — and he oversaw the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, which became the best-selling console of all time in its initial sales period. Doug also expanded Nintendo's licensed merchandise business, opened the company's San Francisco flagship store, and led its re-entry into the Brazilian market. Prior to joining Nintendo, Doug spent 8 years at Electronic Arts, most recently as Vice President of Global Business Planning, and before that, he spent 23 years at Procter & Gamble in sales leadership roles across Asia, Latin America, and the United States. Doug earned his degree in Communications from the University of Utah — where he later returned as Distinguished Alumnus and commencement speaker, and where, playing endless hours of Donkey Kong, he first fell for video games. Today he serves as an Independent Director on the board of Hasbro.This conversation is hosted by podcast co-founder and P&G Alum Drew Tarvin, Founder & CEO of Humor That Works. Drew spent six years at P&G leading IT + brand initiatives before turning his background in engineering, improv, and stand-up comedy into a career helping organizations use humor to improve leadership, communication, and workplace culture. He's the author of Humor That Works and his TEDx talk has been viewed more than 16 million times.

Happy Pot Luck Saturday! Chipped beef on toast, scalloped potatoes with the cornflake crunch, Pong, and the Trash-80. We're firing up the home computer and video game boom of the '70s and '80s. We talk Atari, Intellivision, Commodore 64, Apple II, Nintendo, Pac-Man, Pitfall, stacks of quarters at the arcade, and the infamous E.T. game. Plus, why the watered-down games at home made the arcade that much more exciting. We talk about word processors, electric typewriters, scientific calculators, handheld football games, old-school cash registers, and the simple joy of pushing a button and hearing that click. Then it's broken joysticks on Christmas morning, toys without batteries, and the bleak day-after-Christmas return line. It's a Pot Luck Saturday with Trash-80s, Atari cartridges, computer clubs, retro toys, Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, and a time when Pong really was enough. We'll Talk Shawtly!

Two grown adults have an intense discussion about toys for children while feeling only minimal shame. That's because the erudite sophistication of Donkey Kong transcends cheaply molded plastic, raising the intellectual stimuli of wagging around miniature figurines of cartoon gorillas and monkeys to that of the most learned pursuits. Plus, an all-new palm tree!

We have another amazing guest this week - Kevin Bayliss. Kevin is a former Rare artist/character designer and is the person that designed Donkey Kong for Donkey Kong Country and he also created Diddy Kong! WOW! Kevin has so many amazing stories to share about his time at Rare and we can't wait for you all to hear it. Also in this episode, there are even more Zelda 40th Anniversary leaks and huge news for Kingdom Hearts 4.

The Backlog Attack concludes(?) with the beloved Donkey Kong 64 and a fresh start with Persona 5 Royal. Also: More 1000xRESIST, and some Slay the Spire just because. Episode Timeline (0:00) - Intro/Slay the Spire (12:28) - Backlog Attack update (21:30) - 1000xRESIST (30:52) - Donkey Kong 64 (54:59) - Persona 5 Royal (1:16:31) - Outro

Pyrrhic Kong (Designing For) returns to the show to try to find the commonality that makes the modern Donkey Kong character so appealing to generations of fans. Is there any consistency in the portrayal and gameplay mechanics of the heir to the 1980s arcade legend? Did what Rare intend for the character hold up over the years? Can we make sense of the times the character felt lost? And why has Bananza's depiction of DK been so pleasing to the majority of his fans?

In this episode of Gamertag Radio, Danny Peña and Riana Manuel Peña dive deep into their hands-on review of Splatoon Raiders for the Nintendo Switch 2! Danny breaks down why he believes it is easily the best exclusive title on the Switch 2 so far, praising its highly addictive single player adventure, massive customization, and slick drop-in co-op mechanics. Meanwhile, Riana shares her perspective as a first time Splatoon player.Highlights The Best Switch 2 Exclusive Yet? – Danny explains why Splatoon Raiders tops his list of Switch 2 games so far (even over Donkey Kong) and highlights its massive success with record-setting user scores on Metacritic. A Refreshing Single-Player Focus – Unlike past entries that prioritized competitive multiplayer, Splatoon Raiders puts player experimentation and a deep single-player story campaign at the forefront. Tanks, Gadgets & Loadout Customization – A breakdown of the three core tank classes (Speed, Power, and Tactical), weapon varieties like paint rollers and chargers, and specialized gadgets like Blast Boots and Shot Pots. Sensory Overload & Visual Style – Riana shares her thoughts as a newcomer to the series, praising the kid-friendly aesthetic while noting how chaotic the screen can get on higher difficulties with timers, boss health bars, and ink everywhere. Co-op "Call for Help" Mechanics – How the game allows stuck players to call in random online players for assistance, earning bonus rewards together without needing voice chat or complex ping systems. Hideout & Base Progression – Insight into upgrading your player base, trying out new builds in the shooting range, discovering lore relics, and using compasses to hunt down hidden map locations.

We take a retrospective journey through the historical milestones that built the video game industry. From Atari's Pong accidentally launching the arcade boom to Nintendo saving its American division with Shigeru Miyamoto's Donkey Kong, we explore how these foundational hits changed entertainment forever. We also examine Toru Iwatani's pizza-inspired Pac-Man, Alexey Pajitnov crossing the Iron Curtain with Tetris, and how Super Mario Bros. defined the home console experience.

We are officially sitting on the precipice of the Greatest Rivalry Tour — South Africa versus New Zealand — and, quite frankly, everybody is starting to lose their minds.The All Blacks are in South Africa. The tour is happening. The hype machine is fully operational. And with the first Test still a good few weeks away, we have reached that wonderful stage where there is almost no actual rugby to analyse, so naturally everybody is just speculating about absolutely everything.The South Africans, in particular, are talking an extraordinary amount of shit about how dominant they're going to be. In some quarters, the All Blacks have already been written off completely.And then you've got people like Tony, who for reasons that may or may not be grounded in reality, are starting to feel... quietly confident.Is that confidence justified?Is it delusion?We'll find out soon enough.Until then, this podcast is basically speculation about speculation, followed by some more speculation, as everybody gets increasingly worked up about a series that hasn't even bloody started yet.There is, however, some actual rugby to talk about.The All Blacks take on the Stormers this weekend in the first little taste of the Greatest Rivalry Tour. What sort of team do the All Blacks put out? What do the Stormers look like without their Springboks? And why, despite all of that, are we still weirdly nervous about it?Meanwhile, the Boks are just popping over to Argentina for a casual one-off Test against a slightly depleted Los Pumas side — which, let's be honest, they will probably absolutely rinse.But all of that is merely the entrée.The real thing is coming.The All Blacks are in South Africa. The Springboks are waiting. The shit-talking has begun. The nerves are building. The optimism is getting dangerously high.It's stressful. It's exciting.And it is officially on like Donkey Kong.

I will be moderating two panels at the Southern-Fried Gaming Expo from July 31-August 2nd in Atlanta! Microsoft restores an unrestorable 25 year old account that was hacked after learning the user was a prominent content creator. Valve has says that the RAM crisis is going to get worse, as they are seeing leading indicators that prices will rise even more for consumers in 3-6 months time. A new update to SteamVR and a new Great On Frame page means that the Steam Frame release is imminent. (But not Tomorrow.) Then we talk about the Donkey Kong LEGO set as well as talking to Jamie from OLR about how messy our office spaces are and home videos we have on analog media.

What could museums learn right now — from their competitors?What's happening out there that museums should know about? How can museums compete with a sports venue that has 18,000 seats, each with its own interactive controller? What do IP, KPI, and F&B mean? What if museums went out and learned from theme parks, advertising, corporate centers … and even casinos? Renée Hampton (Strategic Partnerships Manager, Electrosonic) discusses “What Museums Can Learn from Casinos, Theme Parks, Sports, and More” with MtM host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners | The Exhibition and Experience Design Studio).Along the way: eye tracking, Donkey Kong, and Cirque du Soleil.Talking Points:1.

Photo by Michael Martine, Hamptonville, North Carolina, Oct 2018 Published 27 July 2026 e562 with Andy and Michael M – EMFCamp recap, whole lot of LEGO love, the game of life, a Playdate mini MMO, AR assisted murals and a whole lot more! Andy and Michael M start off with a recap of Andy's experiences at EMF Camp while Michael R is away for this episode.  Andy shares his experiences, describes the “Monumental GameBoy”, how visitors to his campsite enjoyed playing his LEGO pinball machine and his updates to the EMF badge (such as Pigs in Space!).  Check out the show notes below for a few visual links, including the Joust game for the Tildagon badge and more.  Michael M went to an event at a local arcade in Chapel Hill and only noticed as he was leaving that they too had a Joust cabinet game. Andrzej Marczewski wrote an article in gamified.uk about the game of life – not the one by Hasbro or Conway – rather the game of life itself with resources to manage and protect.   Andy and Michael enjoyed Andrzej's take, especially how he treated progress and score.  Going from the macro to the micro, the team also took a look at the Playdate miniMMO PointlessQuest.  Andy may give this a shot on his Playdate soon!  Next, it's on to LEGO, and there are so many new cool drops from Billund.  Andy already mentioned his pinball table during the EMF recap.  After checking out the playable Donkey Kong game, the pair then takes a look at the new Star Trek Enterprise 1701 bridge.  With 8 minifigs from the original series, and features such as the rocking command chair, transporter room actions and troubling Tribbles, there's something for every Star Trek fan. And the team just loved just how many LEGO bricks it took to make the Enterprise bridge set. Then, Andy and Michael take a look at how an artist created a mural using sketchar.io augmented reality – just like using transparencies and an overhead projector from days of yore.  If that doesn't ring a bell, have a look at the YouTube from the Computer History Museum below.    Many thanks to @lxs@fosstodon.org for sharing this mural designing video with us!   Who is your favorite original Star Trek character?  Have your bots

If you are looking for a review of the odyssey, you wont find it here, but we have other exciting news. Like Disney cuts Pixar staff, even after making a billion dollars. Or Is Nintendo justified in telling consumers to stuff it after tariff refunds? PlayStation ain't budging on ditching discs, and some sales numbers back them up. But hey, at least we got a trailer for Avengers Doomsday!

This week we're joined by Grant Kirkhope, the award-winning composer behind some of gaming's most iconic soundtracks, including Banjo-Kazooie, GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong 64, Viva Piñata, Mario + Rabbids, and so much more.

Mario Kart Tour is shutting down on September 30th. Hyle and David react to the news, taking stock of the loss of another DKU game. At least we didn't spend any real money on it, right? *checks bank statements* Oh, no.

The news has officially come out that Nintendo is CEASING production on the original Switch console in Europe... but with massive sales reported for Rhythm Heaven Groove that begs the question of whether or not we've seen the end of Switch 1 games being produced. Nintendo clearly wants to push Switch 2 games, but with a userbase of 150 million+, Jordan and David discuss the potential future of Nintendo's console operating alongside their new system.

In the very early '80s, the world as a whole had come down with Pac-Man fever. But this condition wasn't formally diagnosed until budding musicians Buckner & Garcia released their hit album of the same name in 1982. Slapped together to address the then-recent fad known as "video games," this collection of songs took pop culture by storm—but the duo behind it failed to follow up on their tribute to arcade mania. This week on Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Drew Mackie (of Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games) as the crew digs into this novelty album and learns how to Do the Donkey Kong.Retronauts is a completely fan-funded operation.

The wondrously talented Chris Stanley sits in Bobby's chair and finds out that Jay has a deeply troubling problem with celebrities. Big Jay turns into a needy child when someone famous connects with him through text. He wrote gushing messages recently to Jerry O'Connell, but in the past he overshared with actor Ryan Hurst, Andrew Dice Clay, and two members of Korn. Mike Finoia and Chris coach Jay as he tries to reach out to Jerry O'Connell yet again. Jay is not trying to learn a lesson about boundaries. Mike Finoia can be found on SiriusXM's "Saturday Night Shakedown" and Chris Stanley can be heard on "The Bennington Show!" *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

Broadcast live on https://www.twitch.tv/dkvine on July 9th, 2026, Hyle and Dustin honor the 45th anniversary of the original Donkey Kong game! We discuss ho the series has rebuilt itself since the 40th anniversary, while examining how Donkey Kong Bananza has helped recontextualize the arcade roots with the Donkey Kong Country games. Then we ask what do the next 45 years look like for the franchise, sharing some bold predictions between now and 2071!

Can't blame a Kong for podcasting. Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're going to be talking about Donkey Kong Bananza, the first 3D Donkey Kong game in almost 30 years and a launch title for the Switch 2. The main thrust behind Bananza is that it's a collectathon platformer not dissimilar to Mario Odyssey, but with the ability to heavily interact with the terrain. This means punching through the walls and floors, grabbing projectiles out of the ground, and through this making your own paths through the levels. It has the launch title energy of trying to show off the new hardware, and the terrain deformation effects combined with the generally improved graphical fidelity does a pretty good job of it. The game also fills the levels with unique gimmicks and prescribed challenge areas, and also features an endgame and a DLC with even more content so it isn't short on things to do if you want sink like a hundred or more hours into it. Personally, just seeing the credits took long enough for me, though I wouldn't describe the main story as having too much filler. Altogether this feels like a worthy game for the (admittedly now year old) new console. We're going to be talking about the game's pacing and how we each found our flow through the levels, Bananza transformations and how they play, and how no one cares about your dog unless you're a famous game developer. Thank you for joining us again this week! It may seem like a typical us move to not talk about a big tentpole release until a year after it came out, and it is. Whoops. I am glad to have finally gotten to play it, partially because it justifies the purchase of a Switch 2 I made earlier this year, but also because the game is actually quite good. How did your opinion of the game differ from that of the trailer, if that was an experience you had? Let us know in the comments or over on our Discord server! Next time, we're going to be talking about Perfect Tides: Station to Station, the sequel to the point and click adventure game we played a couple years ago, so we hope you'll join us then.
