Nintendo Switch Online has proven itself to be quite a robust collection of classic Nintendo retro games, but there are still a number of first-party Nintendo published games we have yet to see on the service. Vince Goodwin from the Some of My Friends Read Comics podcast joins to go through all of them, including which are most likely to come to Nintendo Classics and the ones we'd be most excited to see from NES & SNES to GBA & Gamecube. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as Microsoft's XBOX division closing several studios, a big update to the eshop on the original Switch, new details unveiled about the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.

GameXplain's own André Segers joins the show this week to discuss the surprise announcement of Star Fox for the Switch 2, which seemingly confirms the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake rumor from Natethehate earlier this year. Now that we know what this Star Fox 64 remake looks like, does this mean we'll be getting a similarly faithful remake of OoT? How will Nintendo announce it the game? Is it possible it will have elements from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom? We break it all down and give our best speculation. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as Nintendo's financial report including sales for Switch and Switch 2 games, Nintendo finally raising the price on their new system, legendary games director Takashi Tezuka retiring, and much more.

This week fan favorite Jay Rios joins the podcast to discuss Nintendo's newest announcement strategies in the era of the Switch 2. With the proliferation of their app Nintendo Today and bespoke, smaller announcements and overviews of upcoming games, it's hard to not take that as a sign that the Nintendo Direct is dead once and for all. We break down the likelihood of this situation and whether or not Nintendo even needs a Direct in this day and age. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as the release dates and overviews for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book & Splatoon Raiders, rumors of a live-action horror themed Metroid movie, Tomodachi Life's HUGE sales numbers in Japan and much more.
