Nintendo Everything Podcast

Hello my mini listeners! This week on NEP, we celebrate a drop of water in a desert with the Nintendo Direct Mini! Xenoblade, Bravely Default II demo, ARMS in Smash, Good Job!—there were a lot of highlights. And just before then, we've got more why Animal Crossing is the perfect answer to social distancing. If you were ever curious what the first week of New Horizons is like, Mary's got you covered. Galen also shares the tragic backstory he's role-playing his Animal Crossing villager with. And the gang discusses a double dose of horror-action with the Resident Evil 3 demo and The Evil Within 2.

If you're enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It's incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!

Hello my independent gamers! This week on NEP, it's Animal Crossing time! First impressions on New Horizon, followed by demo talk on Trials of Mana and how Square Enix is remaking two great JRPGs very, very differently. Then we celebrate Nindies in the Indie World Presentation, and close out the show by discussing if there's any good LGBTQ+ representation in video games. Spoiler alert: there's very little of it.

Hello my lovely legos! This week on NEP, we're tackling the sad news of E3's cancellation as the corona virus pandemic grows globally. With E3's cancellation, how will companies drive business strategies for this Summer and Fall? And how will this affect consumers? Will we see a Nintendo Direct and other such pre-recorded presentations this June? The sky is falling. However! We keep things light-hearted, too, as we talk about the recently released Kemono Heroes, Murder By Numbers, and the Animal Crossing: New Horizons special edition Switch console. Do you have a square to spare?

Hello my beautiful materia! This week on NEP, we're joined by special guest and JRPG expert: Barry from the Nintendo Fuse Podcast. This episode is all JRPG and Square-Enix focused, as we examine the more recent years of Square-Enix (with some love for the classics, too, of course!). Topics include FFXIII trilogy, XIV, XV the Kingdom Hearts series, and more. We end up asking the question, "What can Square-Enix do to revitalize the series?" "What if the FFVII series of releases starts to under-perform?" and "Are consumers giving this release structure a dangerous pass?"

The main topic is the Final Fantasy VII Remake demo, which leads us to talking about the issue of selling the game in multiple parts over multiple generations of hardware and over (presumably) multiple decades. We've got three very different, and very opinionated perspectives. Join us, as we take a very deep dive to examine the character writing, the battle system, controls, camera and more of Final Fantasy VII Remake's demo.

If you're enjoying NEP, please consider rating and sharing us! It's incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!

Hello, my deserted villagers! This week on NEP, we're covering the big Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Direct. Oni Dino is reminded of Fyre Fest, while Galen can't wait to share his place and play online with friends. We also introduce Snack World in our Adventure Log, followed by an impromptu talk about why misrepresentation of marginalized groups in video games is harmful. We ebb and flow between the serious and the absurd on NEP! Plus, we talk about an upcoming, killer JRPG that's kind of going under the radar: Trials of Mana. Come hang out.

Hello, my beautiful sewer babies! This week on NEP, our big talk is on E3. With Sony gone (for good probably) but Nintendo still attending, Oni Dino and Galen take a look at the burning question: Is E3's importance waning? There's a lot of elements at play on both the consumer side and the business side, and we throw our hats into the ring. Plus, we're talking mixed first impressions on Persona 5 Scrambled Eggs, Fire Emblem: Three Houses wave 4 DLC: Cindered Shadows, the Sonic film's release (with a shocking mention of Pee Wee Herman) and generally unhealthy mindsets in the gaming community—a discussion sparked by… you guessed it: Pokemon Sword and Shield. Let's Gaming!

Hello, my wonderful superheroes! This week on NEP, we've got exclusives on The Wonderful 101 Remastered coming to Switch, PS4 and Steam via Kickstarter. Oni Dino talks about his meetings with Platinum last year, leak culture and butts in Platinum Games (of course). Galen is still holding out for Wonder Red in Smash Bros. Galen also tells more about Dragon's Crown Pro experiences, and Oni Dino highlights some of the more bespoke writing in Tokyo Mirage Sessions. And the topic of games-as-a-service rears its head in our listener segment.

Hello, my beautiful animal buddies! This week on NEP, we've got a lot of games under our belt: Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Dragon's Crown Pro, and Byleth impressions from Smash. Then, we fawn over how gorgeous this new Animal Crossing: New Horizons limited edition Switch is. And the big news about Switch outselling the SNES in under 3 years. Has Switch really been this successful? It's surreal. Also surreal is the details finally releasing on Pokemon HOME. It's a mixed bag, and most reaction has been less than great. And some more details on Super Nintendo World opening in Universal Studios Japan in Osaka this summer.

Hello, kids and squids! We apologize for the late episode this week, but we've got a really great one. This week on NEP, we're joined by Matt Tesch from Liquid Bit of Killer Queen Black fame. He's talking with us about their fascinating history on how this small arcade cabinet came to be an online competitive co-op phenomenon. It's a really inspiring story that we're excited to share with you. In addition, Galen and Oni Dino cover Nintendo's controversial lawsuit win against Germany and Norway regarding the inability to cancel eShop pre-orders. Plus, Galen takes any shred of Mega Man Battle Network news he can get.
