Nintendo and Illumination recently released The Super Mario Bros. Movie to theaters. Of course, we had to go see it and review it since we're a Nintendo podcast! We had a really great time laughing, enjoying the music, and seeing the beautiful visuals. Here's to hoping more properties get turned into movies!

We were graced with ten beautiful minutes of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gameplay footage! Of course we had to talk about what we saw, including what we think of the new gameplay mechanics like Fuse and Ultrahand. There are lots of other little goodies like new NPCs, changes to the environment, and so much more! However, is it going to be enough in the sequel? We'll have to find out! Also, Jordan went to PAX East and E3 was cancelled, so those have to be discussed as well.

The Minish Cap was recently released on Nintendo Switch Online. It's been a long time since David and Jordan played the game, so they figured it would make for a fun podcast episode! Take a listen to how we think the game has held up over the years and if it is still worthy of standing among the greats in the Zelda series. Additionally, we discuss how the game plays on Switch and how well it holds up in terms of gameplay, controls, visuals, and more!

As Nintendo fans, we have a massive library of games to choose from. With this vast library of games, sometimes some games go unnoticed or passed up on by many fans. Or, games carry a poor reputation that is no longer deserved. In this episode, we wanted to highlight a few games on various Nintendo systems that we think are underrated. From Zelda 2: Adventure of Link to Super Paper Mario, most of these games are notorious in their communities for difficulty or being too different from their series. Anyway, enjoy this laid-back episode of the NintenFusion podcast and let us know what your favorite underrated games are!

On this week's episode, we really wanted to know if Nintendo's new pricing model makes sense. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is slated for $70 (USD), Pikmin 4 is $60, but Metroid Prime Remastered is only $40. Is their "case-by-case" model a good one? Is $70 too much for a Nintendo game? All this and more discussed on this episode of the NintenFusion podcast!

There were *SO* many things to talk about this week! Nintendo gave us a massive Nintendo Direct presentation filled to the brim with things we've hoped for along with details regarding things that we love, that we're excited about, and that genuinely surprised us! We haven't been so happy after a Nintendo Direct in a long time, and it honestly might be the best! Since there are so many topics and the episode is long, we've included timestamps for the episode.

There are a handful of topics in this episode. The main one is Fire Emblem Engage. We're all big fans of the Fire Emblem series, and we had to talk about the latest game and how it (so far) shapes up with the rest of the series. Then, we talk about some of our favorite moments with the series and our general opinions and thoughts. Then, the discussion gets into future Nintendo plans with the series as well as with hardware in general. Lots of things to talk about!

This time Jordan and David sit down and have a good long chat about the Wii U era. Nintendo's Wii U years were fraught with really fun games and massive droughts with very little success. Some of our favorites include Pikmin 3, Mario Maker, Splatoon, and a few others. It's a shame that a console with quality titles didn't see much success. At least we have the Switch now!
