The Koopa Cast: A Nintendo Podcast

In a busy season of stress, work and travel, Pokémon TCG Pocket has been my steadfast companion. So I was thrilled to invite my friend Phelan onto the show to compare notes on the game - me as a casual player and him as a Pokémon TCG expert. Somehow, digital Pokémon cards have provided a welcome escape to us both. Plus - early thoughts on Mario & Luigi: Brothership and a ton of exciting Nintendo news!

I'm kinda sick and recovering from a big move, but I still had to make sure we brought some spooky to the show this Halloween season. I've invited Abby Howard and Tony Howard-Arias from Black Tabby Games for an in-depth chat about Slay The Princess: The Pristine Cut, available NOW on the Nintendo Switch. Plus - thoughts on Super Mario Party Jamboree, Crow Country, Hatch Tales, Neva and lots of news stories!

I've invited my friend Jonathan Holmes onto the show to chat about The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - but don't expect a typical review discussion. Instead, we talk about what the game means to the Zelda series, to Nintendo and to the people who play it. Plus - thoughts on Castlevania: The Dominus Collection, Nintendo's announcement of Alarmo and a whole lot more!

After two years, ongoing support for Splatoon 3 is winding down in style by way of its recent Grand Festival event. I've invited my good friend, Cheezy, onto the show to chat about the Grand Festival itself, to celebrate Splatoon, as well as speculate on the future of the franchise. Plus - early impressions of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, recent indie highlights and some fun new stories!

In the maiden voyage of The Koopa Cast, we chat about the origin stories of both the podcast itself and its host. We chat with independent developer Antonio "Fáyer" Uribe about his game Arco - the organic nature of the game's development, the consideration paid to every element of the game and why you should give one of the most slept on games of 2024 a try. Plus, early thoughts on Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club and a few news items!
