Keep Nintendo Weird

We ♥ Katamari finally rolling onto the Nintendo Switch gives Matt "Shyguycity" Murray and I the perfect excuse to talk about it. We discuss the meditative nature of Katamari, the space it allows us for introspection and the things that we both found within that space.

Rusty's Real Deal Baseball is Nintendo's 3DS "free-to-start" experiment that gave us fun baseball minigames, an interesting haggling mechanic and introduced us to maybe the most fleshed-out character in the 130+ year history of the company. Patrick Ehlers and Mark Mitchell from Nintendo Cartridge Society are joining me to break down what makes this game so special - and how this could very well be Rusty Slugger's last dance. ⚾

With the Nintendo 3DS classic Pocket Card Jockey disappearing from that platform soon... Apple Arcade is here to save the day! I'm stoked to welcome back my good friend CJ from Destructoid to tell y'all about how we're hopelessly addicted to this game all over again.

My brother in All N - Eric himself - makes his KNW debut to chat about his favorite puzzle game of all time: the 3DS eShop classic, PUSHMO! 🧱

Eric shares what makes Pushmo special to him and what the game meant to him in a challenging period of his life as a deployed soldier. What puts this series above all-time classics like Tetris or Picross? Why should you make sure to grab these games before the 3DS and Wii U eShops close? Let's make our way to Pushmo Park and talk about it!

I'm thrilled to be joined by my Virgo sister in Nintendo Drive - the wonderful Lockleth - to gush about one of our favorite 3DS games: TOMODACHI LIFE! What makes this game so darn charming?

For Fahmi ☕ 🌹

This is a special one. I'm sitting down with Ryan from Subliminal to chat ATTACK OF THE FRIDAY MONSTERS: A TOKYO TALE -- a personal favorite of mine. We break down the little design decisions that make Kaz Ayabe's games unique, why they resonate with our childhood experiences and the power of quiet nostalgia.
