TCW Podcast Episode 240 - Nintendo: Playing with Mii & Wii From DS touch-and-stylus play to living-room motion, we trace Nintendo's road to Wii. Nintendogs and Brain Age broadened the audience to parents and grandparents. After cold receptions at Microsoft and Sony, inventor Tom Quinn's Gyration motion tech found a home at Nintendo, and internal prototypes were so fun they became Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Wii Fit. The reveal timeline runs from Reggie Fils-Aime's 2004 E3 DS debut and "Revolution" tease, to a controller-free console showing at E3 2005, to the surprise Wii Remote reveal during Iwata's Tokyo Game Show keynote, and the full unveiling at E3 2006. Built on refined GameCube internals, the Wii favored low cost, low noise, and always-on convenience, with Miis inspired by Japanese wooden dolls (Kokeshi) and a channel interface modeled on a TV wall to invite quick, family-friendly play.

In 1989, a friendly snow day turned into a tragedy. Seven-year-old Jessica Carr had just beaten her 9-year-old neighbor, Cameron Kocher, at Nintendo. Hours later, he shot her in the back while she rode a snowmobile—then calmly returned to his video game.Charged with murder but sentenced to probation, Cameron walked away without a criminal record. Should a child who kills ever walk free? This case forces us to confront the uncomfortable intersection of youth, violence, and justice.Follow True Crime Recaps for weekly cases that shock, disturb, and challenge what we think we know about justice.

You would be forgiven for thinking the focus of this episode was ending music, which makes sense considering ballads are often used for ending tracks. Ballads traditionally tell a story or narrative, and while these tracks are purely instrumental, they still convey a lot through emotion. Whether it's an ending track to reflect upon your completed adventure, a specific character's

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.

Well, it was an interesting week for gaming with Nintendo unveiling their latest Indie World and the prize of that showcase was assuredly Mina the Hollower, and the best part was that a demo was availabe immediately, so Sean gave the game a whirl and he's defintely excited for October 31 to get here quickly. Also, Sony has fantastic PS5 sales, essentially putting them right in line with PS4 numbers, while their CFO makes some interesting statements regarding live service games and a "movement away from hardware and towards creation" that got hardcore gamers all kinds of nervous.

In this week's episode of The Game Deflators, John and Ryan dive into a treasure trove of gaming updates, pickups, and hot takes: Magic: The Gathering fans won't want to miss the duo's latest haul from Edge of Eternities, plus an update on the closure of Strixhaven Year Three in their long-running Dungeons & Dragons campaign. The Game Deflators also explore Hasbro's initiative to attract more women to Magic: The Gathering, analyzing what it means for future set releases. On the digital front, Nintendo's aggressive IP protection strikes again—this time forcing a popular speedrunning charity event to remove all Nintendo titles. John and Ryan provide their differing views on the outcome. Rumors are swirling about the Nintendo Switch 2 and a potential increase in cartridge storage capacity. Could this be a game-changer for next-gen titles or just price increases? Finally, the retro spotlight shines on Tomba! for the PlayStation 1, as the hosts visit this cult classic with a fresh review—does it still hold up in 2025?

We also discuss the latest Indie World presentation from Nintendo and Sony's latest claims about their live service strategy.

Before diving into the Super Nintendo library, I'm taking a moment to reflect on what the console meant to me growing up. From moving into a new home and finding my first real friends, to renting games based on box art and falling in love with RPG's. I'm sharing those early memories, how the SNES shaped the way I play, and a few predictions for what my Top 10 might look like by the end of this journey.

Have you ever driven down a dark, desolate road...and you knew that stopping for some unknown reason would be a very bad idea?
Daniel & Shawn dive into Remitly, the digital remittance platform aiming to disrupt a $2 trillion global market. After years of prioritizing customer acquisition and corridor expansion over profits, Remitly is now approaching a critical inflection point, one where scale, margin leverage, and cash generation could unlock a new phase of investor confidence. But there are risks as well: crypto-native challengers, regulatory uncertainty, and broader concerns about the remittance industry all raise the question of whether the upside is worth the risk. Here, they unpack Remitly's moat, including its direct payout network, risk engine, and customer trust, and assess whether these factors are enough to fend off cheaper, faster payment rails, such as stablecoins. They walk through the company's unit economics and what the valuation model implies under both steady-state and high-growth scenarios. Along the way, they compare Remitly's customer lock-in strategy to Booking.com, examine the remittance corridor dynamics in India, the Philippines, and Latin America, and debate whether this is a misunderstood fintech with enduring staying power or a product ripe for crypto disruption. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN 00:00 – Intro 01:08 – How the remittance market works 01:50 – Why Western Union struggles to compete with Remitly 02:16 – Why and how Remitly was founded 04:48 – What risks Remitly faces 05:01 – How stablecoins could disrupt the remittance industry 11:34 – What competitive advantages Remitly has 17:16 – What digital-first companies compete with Remitly 24:37 – Why scale is everything in the payments sector 27:56 – Whether Remitly is attractively valued at its current levels 29:27 – Whether Shawn & Daniel add RELY to The Intrinsic Value Portfolio *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.
