Welcome to Episode 154 of Nintendo Therapy — a weekly show where we break down the latest Nintendo news, rumors, and reflections on the games we can’t stop thinking about.

This week, Kevin is joined by Harrison and Shawn to dig into Nintendo Switch end-of-year stats, new LEGO Pokémon sets, and some very honest thoughts about Animal Crossing burnout. We talk about how much time there really is in a year, how thousands of gaming hours somehow coexist with jobs, books, podcasts, and writing projects, and why Nintendo fans love to panic every time stock prices dip.

Topics include:

• Nintendo Switch 2025 playtime stats and reflections

• LEGO Pokémon sets revealed (Eevee, Pikachu, Poké Ball, and the $650 starter set)

• Why LEGO pricing isn’t as outrageous as it looks

• Nintendo stock dropping 33% — should fans be worried?

• Initial reactions to recent Animal Crossing updates

• Ecco the Dolphin revival rumors

• Quest 64 getting the recomp treatment

• Spotlight discussions on Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2: The 6 Golden Coins

• Ranking, history, and why Wario looks absolutely unhinged

Plus, we wrap up with personal gaming highlights, backlog goals, and a reminder that maybe the real secret to 1,000 hours of gaming… is not having kids (yet).
