This week, Donnie, Rebecca, and Delvin dive into Nintendo’s latest shake-up: Gold Points are going away. Starting March 25, 2025, players will no longer earn Gold Points from purchases, and Switch Game Vouchers won’t apply to Switch 2 titles. What does this mean for digital rewards and eShop discounts? The crew breaks it down.

Meanwhile, Pokémon Go developer Niantic is reportedly in talks to sell its gaming business to Saudi-owned Scopely for $3.5 billion. HAL Laboratory celebrates its 45th anniversary, and Hello Kitty Island Adventure tops the eShop charts for February. Plus, a LEGO Game Boy set leaks, Pokémon Presents is officially set for February 27, and rumors swirl about a Super Mario Bros. Wonder Switch OLED bundle.

In listener questions, the Shack crew discusses Pokémon Day predictions, the future of Metroid: Other M, Switch 2 storage solutions, and—most importantly—whether Nintendo’s next-gen cartridges will still taste awful.
