We take a look at where the console is at from a hardware/app perspective, and then dive in to analyze the biggest games released in the first year and how the met, exceeded, or fell short of our expectations. For a bit of fun, we also grade the first year of every major Nintendo console!

All this PLUS some reaction to Summer Game Fest 2026 and the Dark Horse comics union recognition - get in to listen an let us know what your grade for Year One of the Switch 2 is!

We've got a fun episode for you all this week! We asked you guys to send us your Zelda themed "Would You Rather" questions. We'll be answering questions like: Would you rather see a remake of the Nintendo DS games with regular controls or get a Four Swords Adventures remake with online multiplayer? Would you rather have every new 3D Zelda take place on Breath of the Wild's map with a linear story line or never see a traditional dungeon again? Would you rather fight a Frox or a Stone Talus in real life? All this and more!

Plus! Andy's thoughts on the fan-made Twilight Princess PC port, Dusklight. Come hang out with us!

It's about time for us to join in on some good ol' rumors and speculation! This week we're diving right in to discuss all things Ocarina of Time and what we would want to see from a possible remake! With a topic like this, there's always conversations to be had on improvements and changes; but since the Ocarina remake is still up in the air we'll also be theorizing just what kind of remake we could (potentially) be in for! Would we be looking at a simple resolution upscale from Ocarina of Time 3D? Or would this supposed remake be built from the ground up and feature an entirely re-imagined game? It's impossible to say anything for sure; but that won't stop us from trying!

All this, PLUS The Great Deku Tree Lego set discontinuing, the release date announcement for Mineru's Construct Amiibo, and the release date change for the Legend of Zelda movie!

Our Ōkami celebration comes to a close this week and to wrap things up we're looking ahead to the officially announced sequel! Back in 2024, Capcom revealed that the Ōkami sequel was in early development.

This week we're listing off our suggestions and hopes on how the Ōkami sequel can improve on the original! From game pacing to story, game-play to technical improvements, and even the celestial brush itself!

There's a lot to consider so come hang out with us as we go over our hopes for the Ōkami sequel!

Our Ōkami celebration continues, as this week, we rank all eight dungeons in the Zelda-like title! From the not-quite-intro-but-close dungeons like Tsuta Ruins and Gale Shrine to the mini-dungeon Sunken Ship, to the literal mini-dunegon of the Imperial Palace to heavy hitters like the Moon Cave, Oni Island, and Wawku Shrine that would feel right at home in modern 3D Zelda titles, we go through them all and discuss the highs and lows. Plus, Al gives her thoughts after playing Ōkami for the first time about the game, its vibes, Issun, Orochi, Ninetails, and more!

All this, PLUS we talk the Zelda movie finishing shooting and talk new episodes of Middle-Earth: The Podcast. Come hang out!

Over the next few weeks, we are celebrating 20 years of one of - if not THE - greatest Zelda-like games of all time: Ōkami! We start off with our 20 Year Retrospective, as Zelda Dungeon's Nicole Scott and Miranda Feller join the show to discuss what makes Ōkami so endearing, what qualities make it such a Zelda-like, our memories playing the game for the first time, our thoughts on Amatersau as a main character and Issun as a companion, how the Celestial Brush techniques felt in both motion controls and standard mode, how the games story is structured, and how Ōkami might be the ultimate good vibes game.

The next few weeks are all about Ōkami as it celebrates this milestone anniversary, so if it's been a while or you've never played it, we hope you do!

We've taken a trip to the movie theaters this week, and we are coming back with our Yoshi popcorn buckets to talk about the Super Mario Galaxy Movie! We've broken the episode up into clear non-spoiler and spoiler territory, but even so, be warned! We're giving our review, discussing whether the movie recaptured the magic of the original, how the new additions to the voice cast fared, what our favorite surprises were, and how Nintendo needs to go all in on Star Fox! Plus - what, if anything, can the Zelda movie take away from the Galaxy Movie?

Let us know if you think our review is fresh or rotten, PLUS get geared up for the 3rd annual Marlo Means Fun Marathon, happening April 11th and 12 on Twitch with an interview featuring Kora Burton, who shares her story and the inspiration behind creating the event!
