Danny Bivens from The Famicast returns to chat about the Nintendo 64 in Japan! We unravel the Japanese side of Nintendo’s first 3D console, highlight our favorite Japan-only games, chronicle the 64DD, and of course tell you the greatest N64 color you may have missed! Plus we venture back to Hyrule to chat about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s one year anniversary. I also look at the indie hit Animal Well and dig into some of the biggest Nintendo news of the decade!
