Koopa Kast

You’ve heard from James Higginbotham and Justin Sharp, now it is time other staffers got in on the prediction party.  Join series host Matt and series regulars Justin Sharp and Alex Schramke to discuss what is on their lists of what moves Nintendo could be making here in 2015. You can check out Justin’s list right here: https://purenintendo.com/2015/01/03/ja….  Matt and Alex have decided to keep his list a secret until the podcast, so you’ll just need to wait. Of course we can’t say who is wrong or who is right, but we would like to know who you think is closer to the mark this upcoming year.

As always, if you have questions for the podcast, you can use the Google Plus Q&A App, or you can tweet to @Purely_Matt using the hashtag #KoopaKast.

The “In My Defense” series returns with something to induce maybe a bit of a disagreement between the staff: Which game in the Legend of Zelda series stands out among the rest?  Today’s panel hosts Matt, Justin Sharp, J-Money Hinton, and Trevor Gould.

Matt’s Defense – Majora’s Mask

Justin Sharp’s Defense – Twilight Princess

J-Money’s Defense – Wind Waker

Trevor’s Defense – A Link Between Worlds

Of course, every Zelda game is a winner (except perhaps, those CD-I titles), but maybe, just maybe, one stands above the rest….

The Koopa Kast is PureNintendo’s bi-weekly podcast that takes place at 8:30PM EST, and features a rotating cast of PureNintendo staff members.

This time, we will be talking about how we tackle games that are sequels or as part of a series.As Nintendo fans, we definitely have experience with reviewing games as part of a series.  With series’ such as The Legend of Zelda and Mario Bros, it has come across many our minds of how to review them.  Do we look for improvements, or should we judge this as a separate game?  This can get really complicated if the reviewer doesn’t have experience with previous entries. So how do we do it? Stay tuned to tonight’s Koopa Kast to find out!

Tonight’s panelists are Matt, James, Alex, and Tristan.  Stay tuned for the Koopa Kast at 8:30PM EST.

The next Koopa Kast falls right on the week of Halloween, so Matt, Justin Sharp, and J-Money are going to be tackling games that left you hiding under the covers.  We will also talk about what horror games should do in order to keep players shaking.

In the last podcast, we went on the offensive talking about Fighting Games, so this week we are going to switch to defense.  Everyone has that game that they enjoy, but no one else can understand why.  We here at PureNintendo.com are no exception.  Join Matt, Justin, J-Money, and Trevor now is our chance to form a suitable defense to convince the world that our bad game is actually good.

Hey Koopa Kast Listeners!

It’s almost that time once again where we here at PureNintendo.com have our bi-weekly live podcast, “Koopa Kast”.  With Hyrule Warriors behind us, and Smash Bros 3DS just two days away, Justin Sharp will dive into these two large Nintendo titles.  Luckily, they both have something to do with fighting, so we have a theme!

If you have any burning questions for us, please leave a question for us below, or you can wait until our live-stream opens up, and check out Google+’s Q&A App.

Hey Koopa Kast Fans! We are a short time away from PureNintendo.com’s bi-weeklky podcast, Koopa Kast. This week, we plan to talk about Nintendo of America’s latest broadcast, Nintendo Treehouse. In the span of eight hours, Nintendo showed off a plethora of upcoming games for both the Wii U and 3DS. Since many people didn’t have time to watch the whole thing, and since we didn’t get invited to the Treehouse (again), the staff of PureNintendo.com will run down what happened at the Smash Bros. Conference Room in Redmond, Washington.

For you celebratory-types, if you look at your watch, you’ve noticed that September 15th was the 13th anniversery of the GCN for JPN (see what I did there?). To celebrate, we are going to talk about the legacy of the GameCube, and our favorite memories with the system.

Questions? Comments? Great! Let us know below, and we may read them on the podcast. You can also e-mail us at [email protected]

Hello PureNintendo community!  Tonight, at 8:30PM EDT we are kicking off Koopa Kast 51.  Join Matt, Justin Sharp, J-Money Hinton, and Alex Schramke as we discuss the 3DS, past, present, and future, all leading up to our thoughts on the reveal of the Nintendo’s newest handheld device.  Also, make sure to keep a tally of how many times the gang pressures me to buy a 3DS.  Just to get this out of the way: not all of us are happy with Nintendo’s naming of the handheld.

Well here we are about to enter our 50th Koopa Kast.  All the big names are here: Justin Sharp, James Higginbotham, Justin “j-Money” Hinton”, Trevor Gould, Thomas Jones, Tristan Meiman, and Matt Paxton.  Since it is a special occasion, we are going to be a bit more relaxed this time around, and talk about PNM’s history, how we got into games journalism, and share any cool stories we have about working in this industry.

We also have a game give-away code for our viewers that we will read during the podcast:

Armillo from Fuzzy Wuzzy Games.  We’re not going to tell you when we will read off the code, so you’ll just have to stay tuned.

In the meantime, if you have any questions for us, you can leave them in the comments below.  Alternatively, you can also check us out in the Q&A app we will have going on Google Plus.

Here we are at Koopa Kast 49.  We have a few interesting topics for you this week:

– The new Zelda Warriors trailer, including the introduction of Gannondorf. Also Fi is apparently pronounced “F-eye”

–  Dan Adelman, Head of Digital Content and Development, has left Nintendo to form his own Indie studio.  When he worked at Nintendo, Adelman helped spearhead getting indie titles onto Nintendo Platforms.

–   Nintendo has decided to release a new Mega Man every thursday this month for the Wii U; Battle Network, Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5, and Mega Man X3
