Waiting on Nintendo to announce new hardware this year? I've got good news! They DID! It just... probably isn't exactly the hardware you had in mind.

The new Zelda game released last week and now, more of the crew has had more time to spend with it and more thoughts to share. To, uh, varying degrees of sanity. Seth may have already 100%d the game and lost a bunch of sleep playing it over the past week. We'll find out.

Someday, we'll be able to stop talking about Switch 2. But that day is not today. Seems like this thing is starting to leak pretty thoroughly and we're all just kinda wondering - when is Nintendo just gonna announce it themselves? And are these leaks even real to begin with? I remember The Grinch Leak. #NeverForget

An even longer title for this episode could've featured even more alliteration: "Predicting Switch 2's Price Point Post-PlayStation 5 Pro". Sony revealed their latest hardware this past week and after some sticker shock, it's got people wondering how much Nintendo is gonna want for their upcoming Switch successor.

PlayStation has a great new 3D platformer in Astro Bot - and by all accounts, it's fantastic! But people seem hellbent on comparing the game to Mario. Should these two games be compared at all? Is there anything that Nintendo and Mario can learn from Astro Bot?

Nintendo held a DOUBLE DIRECT this week: Indie World immediately followed by a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. This is pretty unprecedented... but were they any good? Let's talk about it.

WITH SPECIAL GUEST CWAGGY! Nintendo properly unveiled the Nintendo Museum this week with a special Direct presentation, complete with Shiggy's adorable and somehow also intimidating energy. It looks like it may be worth the trip to Kyoto...

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS TONY BAKER AND JB! Recent rumors and reports seem to indicate that Switch 2 might be coming in April 2025 at the EARLIEST - but do we buy that? These things have been wrong many times in the past and Nintendo has proven impossible to reliably predict. When is this thing actually coming out?!

Nintendo gave us a deeper look at the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom... and good grief, y'all. Does it look good. We're getting even more excited and September 26th can't get here soon enough.
