Look, we recorded an episode, and it was AWESOME... but we kinda forgot what we talked about. 🤣 All we know is it was Nintendo-related, hilarious, and totally worth your time. So, join us for another fun-filled episode of the Nintendo Pals Podcast, where we discuss Nintendo news, rumors, and whatever else we went on a tangent about.

Did we debate the Switch 2? Probably.
Did we rank something ridiculous? Most likely.
Did we go completely off the rails? Absolutely.

Come hang out with us, trust us—it’s a great episode!

🎧 Listen now and let us know what we actually talked about! 😆
