NintenFusion | A Nintendo Podcast

On this episode of the NintenFusion Podcast, join us as we discuss our hopes and dreams for the Nintendo Switch 2. The day the console is revealed draws ever nearer, so we had to talk about it (again!).

The successor to the Switch should be filled with awesome features and really improve on the previous system. Whether it's a better operating system UI, social features, and even just better hardware, we talk about it! We're very hopeful for the Switch 2, it has the potential to be incredible. There are also a few rumors about the hardware, so that also had to be discussed.

It's 2024 and it's time for our annual prediction of a new Nintendo Console! But this time we're so sure that we even put down a date! The Nintendo Switch "successor" (referred to by us as Nintendo Switch 2) is likely launching this year. Of course, there are games to consider like some new Mario, Metroid, Pokémon, and plenty of other series that could make a return.

On this episode, it's time to review the 2023 year from Nintendo! There were lots of good games, like Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Wonder, Pikmin 4, Metroid Prime Remastered, and plenty of others. How do these games compare? What's our pick for game of the year? Was this a good year for Nintendo in general, considering the inevitability of the new console? All that and more!

On this episode of the NintenFusion podcast, David and Jordan get together to talk about the Game Awards. They talk about the current state of the show, including the massive number of commercials and tie-ins. Of course, there's discussion on Nintendo's presence, such as the games that won awards and why there weren't any announcements. Finally, there's discussion on why they feel that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom didn't deserve to win Game of the Year.

It's time to talk about The Legend of Zelda movie announcement! Are we excited? Is there something to be worried about? Will the movie be a faithful adaptation or should we expect something bland? The One Piece Netflix adaptation was awesome (which we talk about a bit!) so we're hopeful.

This episode join David and Jordan as they discuss which Zelda games should get a remake. We've already got Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, and Link's Awakening, but what else should get the same treatment? Do other games deserve a reimagining? Additionally, there were some interesting Switch 2 patents and rumors, so they had to talk about those too.

In this episode of the NintenFusion podcast, David and Jordan decide to discuss their first impressions of Super Mario Wonder. Neither of them have had enough time to fully digest their thoughts for a full review, so an impressions episode seemed appropriate. Anyway, take a listen to what they're enjoying about the game, what works and doesn't work, and all of the other good "first impression" stuff that always comes up!

Jordan and David wanted to figure out which Mario game is the absolute best. So, they took the top 16 Mario games, threw them in a tournament bracket, and seeded them by Metacritic scores. Take a listen as we debate which title is supreme. Will it be the original Super Mario Bros. or will it be Super Mario World? Does New Super Mario Bros. Wii U stand a chance? How do newer games like Odyssey fare? All these games and more on this special episode of the NintenFusion podcast!

This week, David and Jordan talk about the latest Nintendo Direct that aired in September 2023. This Direct really seemed to be about final projects on the Switch before it leaves us for the next console. There were some really great things to talk about, some of the highlights including the Splatoon 3 DLC, F-Zero 99, and or course Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door remake.
