Nintendo Nostalgia

This week on Nintendo Nostalgia we welcome a very special guest from the show Nintendo Dads Marty Estes! This is the longest episode to date for the show and it is simply because we just get great conversation going with Mr. Marty. We talk about lots on this one including Zelda, Switch issues, Fire Emblem, the first Yooka Laylee reviews and of course the meat of the show Super Mario Bros. 2! This game is the black sheep of the original Mario trilogy, but to some this is the best one of the original 3. What do you think was Mario Bros. 2 the best or was it just too far out there? Should Nintendo even do anything with the story of this game again in the future? Well have a listen and find out our thoughts! Enjoy the show and we'll see you next week

This week on the show Ryan and I jump into our thoughts and feelings on Nintendo gaining 3rd party support and talk some more Switch (because it is very hard not to right now)! Then we unveil our top 3 most memorable boss battles. There are many boss's in the Nintendo universe that we have had tons of fights with over the years. But out of so many options to choose from who did Ryan and I pick? Well you'll just have to listen to who we picked and why. We hope you enjoy this special episode of visiting some of Nintendo baddies!

Here is a quick mini episode of Ryan and Jacobs thoughts on Nintendo Switch after spending most of the day messing around with the system and setting it all up. Enjoy everyone and we'll see you all next Thursday!

Ladies and Gentlemen! It is our last episode of this Zelda train and the last full day we have to wait to get our hands on the Nintendo Switch AND The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! This week we have a longer than normal discussion about the Nindies event that took place this week and how we feel Nintendo handled the launch of their new system. Jacob goes on his soap box again about Yooka Laylee... Be warned! Then after the news we get right into the game that is the Genesis of the Zelda franchise, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. This game brought a lot of controversy amongst Zelda fans where people were truly split based on the controls and some of the choices made for the game. This game however is the most story any Zelda game focus' on. So what do we think of the game as a whole? Please join us on our last stop of our Zelda adventure to eat up some time on this last day to The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Nintendo Switch. By going all the way back to the beginning with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

This week on Nintendo Nostalgia we welcome back our good friend Tom Qualls! We discuss some news about if the Switches memory storage is an issue after some games download files have been shown off, Pokemon Go and a little bit of news on the Yooka Laylee front! Then the Zelda train stops at The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past! Tom really loves this installment in the Zelda franchise, but Ryan has some differing opinions. We let those to go at it! Tom is in the opinion of this game is the reason Ocarina of Time was so good and without A Link to the Past. Ocarina of Time would not be the game it is today. So please join us as we try to pass the time with just one more week left until we can get our hands on Zelda: Breath of the Wild!

Ryan is back baby! And with Ryan being back we kick this weeks show off with talking about the latest Zelda DLC news, the latest on Pokemon Go, and the Nintendo Nes Classic. Then we waste no time to jump right into The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This game brought so much excitement and anticipation just like Zelda: Breath of the Wild is right now! People could not wait to get their hands on this big epic adventure. It was going to set the new standard for Zelda just like Ocarina of Time did. Wind Waker was amazing but it took Zelda on a different path than most people expected, but Twilight Princess was going to finally fulfill the dreams that everyone had hoped for when that early GameCube tech demo was first shown off long ago back in 2001. Did Twilight Princess live up to the hype? Well join us now as we visit The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

The Legend of Zelda: the wind waker.
