Hey everyone! It's almost that time of the year again when we finally hear about all the big new video games that Nintendo are cooking up, and we're here to prepare you all for the E3 showcase! But first we have some games to discuss. Both Bally and Nbz have been checking out The Wild At Heart, an indie take on Pikmin that is delightful. Nbz has also finished up the second Famicom Detective Club game, The Girl Who Stands Behind. After the break it is time to get into the E3 spirit by laying down some Nintendo predictions for the show and speculating about what they will announce,  before closing with some listener predictions!

Hey folks! We're back with more podcasting and more Nintendo chat. Nbz kicks things off with Nintendo's newest, hottest release...a remake from the 1980s with Famicom Detective Club! He discusses the first game, The Missing Heir, and how it feels both modern and archaic in equal measure. Bally meanwhile checks in with Abzu, a relaxing underwater game from a few years ago. Nbz closes out the segment with Ori & The Will of the Wisps on Switch and implores everyone to go buy it as it is on sale. After the break we answer your emails on the Nintendo consoles we own and what will happen when the Switch eShop shuts down, before closing things out with a discussion on Giant Bomb's recent departures and reminiscing about our memories from the site.

Hey folks! The first big Nintendo release of the year is here and we're here to talk about it. New Pokemon Snap has dominated our gaming time and we have a big chat about everything to do with the game. Nbz has also played a smaller Switch game called Say No! More which is all about....well...saying no...more? After the break we answer some of your emails about Switch boxes and video game adaptations before closing things out with a bit of a check in with Nintendo's financials and the news of another weird Nintendo game in Game Builder Garage!

Hey everyone! We're back with plenty of games and a beefy backlog club. We kick things off with a round up of the Indie World event from a couple of weeks ago alongside our impressions of Aerial Knight's Never Yield demo. Nbz brings Toree 3D to the table a cheap and cheerful e-shop platformer, meanwhile Bally has been playing an all time classic in Mark of the Ninja! Nbz closes out what we've been playing with Rain on your Parade and Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth (he apologises for murdering everyone's ears with these absurd game titles). After the break it is time to dig in with Paper Mario on N64! We talk about every aspect of the game imaginable with help from comments that you sent in! It's a big meaty discussion and we hope you enjoy!

Hey everyone! We're back and ready to talk video games. Nbz kicks things off this time with early thoughts on Cozy Grove, a delightful little life sim game in the vein of Animal Crossing. He has also been playing BOXBOY + BOXGIRL returning to one of Nintendo's most underrated series. The boys then discuss their time with It Takes Two a game that isn't on a Nintendo console but is absolutely bursting with Nintendo DNA. After the break we answer your emails on our most nostalgic video game music tracks and our favourite console libraries before closing out the show discussing the news that Nintendo will be at E3 this year and our thoughts on good games to come to the Switch Pro!

Hey everyone! This week Nbz's PC died so we took a second run at recording this episode! We kick things off with Bally's thoughts on Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Will he finally enjoy a Castlevania game? Nbz meanwhile played through Wide Ocean Big Jacket, a really well written and charming narrative game on Switch. After the break we answer your emails on Switch Pro & racing games. We close things out with a return to the Jukebox and it is time for Nbz to get his revenge on Bally with some tricky video game music tracks.

Hey everyone, we're back and we've got a lot of video games to talk about! We kick things off talking about the latest Smash Bros DLC with Pyra/Mythra being added to the game and they may be one of our favourite additions yet! Bally meanwhile has been making his way through the original Spyro The Dragon on Switch, a classic he didn't grow up with but certainly has some nostalgia for. We then discuss the version of Apex Legends that released on Switch and how pleasantly surprised we are by it's quality!

Hey folks! This week we welcome a special guest onto the show, Dan from Project Falcon Punch! Dan kicks off the show with chat about Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and all the benefits and drawbacks this re-release has to offer. Nbz and Bally then dig into the Project Triangle Strategy demo and all its intricacies. Nbz also checked out the leaked Dinosaur Planet as well as the closed beta for Knock-Out City, a game recently shown in the Nintendo Direct. After the break we talk a bit about the Pokemon Direct and their remakes/reboots before getting into a discussion about remakes, remasters and reboots generally, with each of us picking games we want to see brought back in those forms.

Hey folks! We're back and frozen over in this very cold February. Nbz kicks off the show this time with his final thoughts on Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, but did he make it through the end? Bally meanwhile has been playing the chill physics puzzle game Donut County where he's been swallowing houses whole. We then talk about Among Us and our experience with a small group of friends playing this phenomenon before Nbz closes out the segment discussing the SNES Online service, Super Valis IV and the weird yet wonderful Kuukiyomi: Consider It.

We kick off the conversation with the recently released Cyber Shadow, published by Yacht Club the developers of Shovel Knight.

Meanwhile both Nbz and Bally have been playing Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, a homage to Donkey Kong Country in every way.

We kick things off with our announcement of our Game Trade games before getting into the Monster Hunter Rise demo. Will this be the Monster Hunter to finally get us? Bally meanwhile has been playing Katana Zero and loving it, and then we discuss Killer Queen Black on Switch, one of the best multiplayer experiences out there! After the break we get into our final celebration of 3D Mario with Super Mario Galaxy! It has been a long time since we revisited it so this is a deep dive that produces a lot of thoughts and discussion.

It's a new year and a new podcast! Over the holiday break we played a bunch of video games and are here to talk about them. Bally is first up with a heavy dose of nostalgia having picked up Star Wars Episode 1 Racer on Switch! We then continue the racing game love with Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled which both Nbz and Bally have been digging into. Nbz also has a new obsession and its name is Grindstone, the Apple Arcade hit that recently released on Switch. After the break its time to get into predictions both old and new! We start off recapping our 2020 predictions before making 5 news ones and trying to think of what Nintendo will do next.

Hey everyone! Since last year I put out an audio version of my Top 100 games I thought it would be fun to make a audio version of my personal game of the year list! Bally's will also go up when its done so look out for that soon! Merry Christmas and we'll see you all in 2021!

We start off by talking a bit about The Game Awards, Sephiroth in Smash and the Sakurai presentation along with playing the character himself. We then quickly touch on the recent Indie World and Super Nintendo World directs. After the break we go through your own GOTY lists and get some great recommendations for some lesser known gems before we dive deep into our own Top 10 list for 2020.

We kick things off with what we've been playing as Bally finally gets his teeth into Slay the Spire, and boy does it taste good! Nbz meanwhile has to settle for a much less satisfying dish with Panzer Paladin, a game that could have been so great but suffers a few unforgivable stumbles.

The time has finally come. Nbz has played Super Mario Sunshine. BUT before that, we have other video game to talk about! This week we are joined once again by Devon from EmblemCast who is here to defend Mario Sunshine alongside Bally. Devon kicks off what we've been playing with Pikmin 3 Deluxe, the most recent Nintendo re-release and has really enjoyed it. He also touches on Bug Fables which Nbz played earlier this year. Meanwhile Nbz is baffled and intimidated by Return of the Obra Dinn, a game that has become somewhat of a darling in recent years while Bally finally ticks another Metroidvania off his backlog with Guacamelee 2! After the break it's time to discuss Mario Sunshine in every aspect possible. The movement, the look, the levels and that gosh darn FLUDD. It's a very chat and we hope you enjoy it!

Hey everyone! It's getting close to the end of the year and we're playing a bunch of games as we get there. Both Bally and Nbz have put some time into the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity demo and have both come out with opposite perspectives. Bally also played a newly released little puzzle game called Carto that uses a map in a very clever way. Nbz has continued to be obsessed with Hades and gives us a check in, while Bally dips into the past with Donkey Kong Country 2! After the break we answer emails about our jobs, how we podcast and more, before closing the show out with a discussion of the latest Nintendo Partner Showcase and Nintendo's financials!

Editors Note: In the first and third segment of the show Bally's audio is a bit fuzzy. We aren't sure what happened but it should be bearable if not as crisp as usual!

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the show. This week Nbz has indoctrinated Bally into the cult known as Overwatch as the boys have been playing the game non stop on Switch. They've also played a recent indie release, The Last Campfire - a Zelda style puzzle game with a lot of charm. Nbz has also finished Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, a follow up to the retro Castlevania revival from a few years ago. After the break we answer your questions on our most vaulable video game possessions, as well as our thoughts on the dearth of traditional handheld style games on Switch, before closing the show out with a discussion of the original Fire Emblem release and the continuance of Nintendo's limited release policy.

Hey folks! This week we start off with an announcement that we are going to be celebrating 3D Mario with the new collection, starting with Mario 64 in October! Bally then jumps in with A Short Hike on Switch, a game that has many Nintendo influences. The boys also discuss the new magical battle royale: Spellbreak and how bad they are at it. Nbz closes things out with Super Mario Bros. 2 from the Mario All-Stars collection that was released on Switch. After the break we answer emails on video game worlds we'd most like to live in and what Zelda remakes we want to see. We close out the show talking about the Mario 35th Anniversary announcements and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity!

Hey everyone! This week we are head over heels for a brand new Indie darling, Spiritfarer. We discuss the Indie World where it was shown off and then dive deep discussing this nautical, narrative, resource management game (spoilers: we love it). After the break we answer your emails about how long we think the Switch's lifespan will be as well as breaking down our personal top 5 game genres. We close things out with a Patron suggested discussion on the best water in video games, a fun topic that we've joked about for years.

Hey everyone! This week Bally brings Yoku's Island Express to the table a pinball Metroidvania that is certainly unique. Nbz meanwhile finished Paper Mario The Origami King and also discusses his experiences streaming nightmarish boss fights in the Japanese version of Castlevania 3 from the Castlevania Anniversary Collection! After the break it is time for our next Backlog Club, Nintendogs + Cats! It's certainly an interesting game in many ways and we have a lot to say about it.

Hey everyone! This week we have a big Nintendo exclusive to talk about with Paper Mario The Origami King. Despite all the controversy, Nbz is pretty positive on the experience so far and has a lot to praise. Meanwhile Bally and Nbz both played through reverse horror Metroidvania Carrion, a game in which you play the role of a huge disgusting monster rolling around and devouring scientists in your wake. After the break we break down your e-mails including a game testing our gaming knowledge of each other as well as how we can set our expectations for presentations like the recent Nintendo Direct Mini. We close things out with the Jukebox where Bally tests Nbz with 5 more video game songs and sees how many he can get right!

Hey folks! This week we kick things off with a long awaited discussion - Bally has finally played Chrono Trigger. We discuss why it took him this long to play through one of gaming classics and his views on how its aged.

After the break we answer your emails on the Ultimate version of a Nintendo franchise and our favourite depictions of food in video games. We close things out with a franchise draft for Nintendo and place some stakes on the line!

Hey everyone. This week we kick things off with Bally talking about Rime, a game that aspires to be more than the sum of its parts. Bally also chats with Nbz about Min Min, the latest DLC character for Super Smash Bros Ultimate before Nbz raves about the inane process of buying DLC on the 3DS e-shop in relation to the extra DLC case for Phoenix Wright Dual Destinies. Nbz also checks in with the recently released free to play game Ninjala on Switch, a game which both surprises and underwhelms. After the break we answer emails about games we'd love to play but can't and our controversial gaming opinions, before closing the show out with a discussion on our dream features for a Switch successor, whether that be a Pro model or a Switch 2!

Hey everyone. Hope you're all doing well in our crazy times. This week we start things off talking about Black Lives Matter and what we can do about the current status quo before getting into video games. Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, alongside the Future Connected epilogue has taken up all of Nbz's time as he re-litigates one of his favourite games. Bally and Nbz also used the SNES Switch Online service to co-op their way through Wild Guns, meanwhile Bally also talks about The Gardens Between, a puzzle game that he finally connected with! After the break we get into your e-mails about the chances of certain games coming to switch, as well as a discussion on our purchasing habits in the world of subscriptions, and whether Nintendo will ever make a Game Pass type service.

Bally and Nbz kick off the show with an Animal Crossing check in, comprising mainly of out Stalk Market war stories and the metagame of turnips. They have also both played a good amount of the Final Fantasy VII Remake and have a lot to say from the perspective of someone who had played the original and someone who hadn't. Bally then waxes lyrical about his new love, Forza Horizon 4, before Nbz highly recommends the brief but delightful A Short Hike! After the break we answer you e-mails about the video games we've been the most hyped for in our lives, as well as what Nintendo games we'd most want to get the full blown remake treatment. We close things out with a return to the Jukebox, as Nbz tests Bally on 5 more video game songs!

Hey everyone! I hope you're all staying safe out there, and hopefully you have time to listen to a big ol' podcast, because this is a long one! We welcome Bill from Nintendo Switchcraft and many other shows to the podcast to talk about the games we've been playing and other things! We start off with a discussion of E3 2020 being cancelled and what it means for the industry. We then dive headfirst into Ori & The Will of the Wisps, a metroidvania that seems to tick a lot of boxes. Bill then chats about Ibb and Obb, the original Doom on Switch an Apex Legends, before Nbz closes things out with WarioWare Gold! After the break we build a list of the most important games for Nintendo in the last 10 years! It's a fun discussion that brings in factors you might not think about in a simple "Best of the decade" list.

Hey folks! This week we've been switching podcast hosts, so the feed is a little wonky at the moment with missing episodes. We discuss this at the start of the show and hopefully it should be fixed soon. In the meantime we have some Nintendo games to talk about! Kicking things off we get into a big discussion of Kentucky Route Zero, a game that has taken literally 7 years to come out. Nbz then chats about Thumper, a violent rhythm game that requires a lot of skill and dexterity. After the break we have a big old second segment going through our thoughts on the Switch after almost 3 years. We grade it in a number of categories including Hardware, 1st Party, 3rd Party, Marketing and Services!
