Go Nintendo Podcast

Number 1031There hasn't been a traditional Nintendo Direct since September 2025, but Nintendo FINALLY changed that this week with a super-sized showcase! There's all kinds of major reveals, interesting updates, surprises and more to cover, and we tackle them ALL. One of the reveals was so big that it genuinely led to a change of heart for me, and I have a feeling many of you will be quite happy to hear it!

Number 1030It is game showcase insanity, with the last two days alone bringing us over 15 hours of presentations, reveals, updates and more. That crazy schedule has had me glued to my computer covering everything, which meant I had no idea when I could squeeze the latest episode of the GoNintendo Podcast in. It just so happened to be today, and you're getting a completely unhinged solo show from me...and clearly I need some sleep!

Number 1029How many buzz words can I cram into a podcast description? Star Wars! Mandalorian! Grogu! The Amazing Digital Circus! Call of Duty! SEGA! Tomodachi Life! Switch 2! The Sheep Detectives! X-Men! The Muppets! Mina the Hollower! Pokemon! Banjo-Kazooie! All that and SO much more in today's show!

Number 1028Did you know that you could be a real-life Pokemon professor? It's true, and one man is suing Nintendo and Pokemon Company because they denied him his chance to shine! We also have SO much to share on the accessibility features for Mina the Hollower, and there are a TON. Oh, and we also need your help choosing a charity to donate to, so speak up! All that and SO much more in today's show!

Number 1,027GoNintendo found itself front-and-center in two controversies this week and both left me pretty surprised. We dive into those hot topics for an in-depth discussion, but we also cover Nintendo's financial Q&A, discuss the special Switch 2 bundles Nintendo is offering, and I share some hands-on time with the final version of Mina the Hollower! All that and SO much more in this episode!

Number 1026Dear lord, what a big week for Nintendo news! We got a surprise Star Fox Direct, a price hike for Switch 2, a full financial report to go over, an Amazon/Nintendo mystery solved and plenty of other topics. Get ready for a jam-packed episode, gang!

Number 1025If you thought there's been a lot of Nintendo-related movie talk lately, you haven't seen anything yet! Metroid movie rumors are flying, and a mystery Nintendo/Illumination film is in the works for 2028. Could it be Donkey Kong, or perhaps Star Fox? We're not sure, but we talk about that and a WHOLE lot more on today's show!

Number 1024Why is this episode super-sized? I know you'll find it hard to believe, but the vast majority of this podcast is spent talking about Nintendo topics. No, I'm being serious! A particularly juicy convo comes up about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but I won't spoil what it's about. Also, no worries, there's still plenty of random and stupid conversations as well. It wouldn't be the GoNintendo Podcast without them!

Number 1023There's some really interesting things in this episode of the podcast. We share a Super Mario Bros. 3 tidbit that is honestly kind of mind-blowing, as it's something the entire crew didn't know about at all! We also dive into the topic of Nintendo trying to find out who's leaking their inside info, as some fans have had a really odd take. You also get some more Cries of the Week, discussion of videogame movies, and even a quick call-in from the one and only Any Austin!

Number 1,022Did you hear about the newest Pokemon controversy? You know Deux did, and he's here to talk all about it! We also talk about a new game on Switch that's a must-have for fans of Balatro, so get ready to lose even more free time. Also, enjoy a whole segment where I embarrass myself when a conversation about cartoons goes off the rails!

Number 1021The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is out and we've seen it! We've got PLENTY of thoughts to share on just about every aspect, but we keep things mostly spoiler-free. There's also plenty of juicy rumors to talk about including some exciting stuff in the Metroid world, plus there's some wild details on Donkey Kong's origins that'll have you seeing Miyamoto in a whole new light!

Number 1020Boy do we have a lot of ground to cover this show. So many big bits of news to dive into. We cover all the big rumors about Switch 2, including rumblings of a Zelda remake and a new Star Fox game. We also share our thoughts on the massive reveal for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie! How about some Pikmin and Nintendo Direct rumors as well? Oh, and a deep dive into Switch 2 sales discussion? So much Nintendo to discuss, it's almost like this is a Nintendo podcast!

Number 1019The Switch 2 has blast processing? No, it's BOOST processing, or that's what we're calling it anyway. Speaking of Switch 2, there's a new version of the system coming out that lets you replace the battery...supposedly! Also, we've seen the future of Nintendo and apparently it relates to Donkey Kong! All that and SO much more stupidity in today's show!

Number 1018I mean, I don't know what to say about this episode. It's wild, it's funny, it's extremely seriously, it's Nintendo-centric and pop-culture focused...we really run the gamut this time around. The end result is our longest episode ever and we cover ALL sorts of content this time around!

Number 1017So much to cover in this show! We go through the fantastic Indie Showcase, discuss Nintendo's legal battle against the U.S. government, dive into Pokémon Pokopia's amazing reviews while sharing impressions...it's a jam-packed show and there's PLENTY more!

Number 1016We're hot on the heels of a Pokémon Presents and our resident Pokémon superfan Deux has all the inside information to share! We've also got plenty to say about Resident Evil Requiem, and that includes impressions of the Switch 2 version. Also, we dive into the game website that was caught using AI to write reviews! What is the world coming to?!

Number 1015Did you hear about all the Pokémon news? How about the latest Nintendo sales info? How about the Toy Story x Toby Fox chatter?! Well if not, let us fill you in and then some! We've got plenty to share and so much more, and we're happy to bring the news to you!

Number 1014After 12+ glorious years the Castlevania franchise is finally returning, and boy are we excited! Plus one of the best Metal Gear games you've never played is coming to Switch and Switch 2! Looking for more of a cultured podcast? We do a deep dive into Hamnet and the idea of "earned emotionality," then we balance that convo with a breakdown of Suda51's latest batcrap crazy game!

Number 1,013So much ground to cover in this episode! Nintendo broke a bunch of records and reached new milestones, there's more to share on the Dispatch censorship debacle, there was a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase filled with exciting titles...it's a very busy time in the world of Nintendo!

Number 1012Nintendo, AdHoc and Dispatch. This story has been brewing for a couple of weeks now but it really came to a head with the game's launch on Switch and Switch 2. We dive VERY deep into the entire situation, discuss the censorship in great detail, reveal the exact timeline of how things played out, and share multiple tidbits you haven't heard anywhere else. We also try to figure out why in the world Nintendo, and how it causes some serious concerns for fans of the company moving forward.

Number 1011So what if we're going to be covered by a hundred feet of snow in a matter of hours? Nintendo news stops for no one, and the same goes for the GoNintendo Podcast! We've got big stories on sales milestones for the Switch 2, fresh and free updates for games, massive big-name departures from Nintendo and so much more. Snuggle up by the fire and enjoy this one, gang!

Number 1010Damn east coast weather ruined podcast plans, which means this is mostly a solo show. I think I manage to do okay, though! There was certainly plenty to talk about in the world of Nintendo, with lots of big news popping up over the last few days. New Switch 2 rumors, sales milestones, LEGO drops, a massive interview with Nintendo's president and more. PLUS we had our interview with the Dispatch devs and you guys supported GoNintendo in a HUGE way!

Number 1009What happens when we go without our regular shows due to sickness and holidays? We come back with a super-sized show stuffed to the gills with Nintendo talk, pop culture topics, some major sandwich discussion, and impressions for ALL sorts of game. Consider this episode return to form, friends!

Number 1008What does the new year bring us? A couple of sick podcast hosts, unfortunately! Mom Brain is sick, I'm also sick, and Deux Michaels is fighting off a cold as well. Deux stayed home for this episode and we kept Nicky Hill from getting infected, but myself and Mom Brain held things down at GN HQ for a briskly-paced episode to kick off 2026. Less filler, more news, and a heaping helping of germs!

Number 1007How do we end our podcast run for 2025? With some special year-end thoughts from you guys, of course! We hear what your favorite gaming moments of 2025 were, and we also look back on the big sellers across the world. There's also some juicy chatter about Metroid Prime 4: Beyond's development, we recap our holiday happenings, and we dive deeper into the unique mind of Nicky Hill than ever before!

Number 1006It's the last show before Xmas and we have so many holiday treats to share! Great news for the Game-Key Card haters out there, the latest Switch 2 sales figures, tons of Metroid and Dispatch chatter, a look at my anime slate for Winter 2026, thoughts on the new Knives Out movie...we got it all and MUCH more. We're your one stop pod for 50% Nintendo and 50% who the hell knows!?

Number 1005This week's super-sized show is all about the Game Awards! We cover the night's highs and lows, talk about Geoff's sordid affair with Miss Piggy, and dive into the numerous Switch 2 reveals. Is our coverage of the Game Awards better than the Game Awards itself? That's for you to decide!

Number 1,004The game news might be slowing down as we're at the end of the year, but we've still got plenty to talk about! Obviously we share our thoughts on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, but that's not all. We get into online negativity, share some anime insights, do a Stranger Things deep dive, discuss Ubisoft's current Switch 2 output and SO much more. Oh, and did you know Frosty the Snowman had 3 secret families!?

Number 1,003You'd think we'd be all kinds of lethargic following a Thanksgiving feast, but that's not the case at all. There are all kinds of lively conversations this episode, and things only pick up as time goes on. We have some VERY strong opinions about some VERY serious and VERY stupid things!

Number 1002The Game Awards nominees are out and we've got some thoughts! We've also got the latest Switch 2 sales data to show just how big of a hit the system is. Of course, there's plenty of random topics covered as well, like game shows, gacha games, British pronunciations and plenty more. Plus, you get to hear me gush about what I might consider to be my new favorite game of all-time!

Number 1001I'd love to say the next 1,000 episodes will be different from the last, but we all know how it goes. Lots of jokes, plenty of stupid conversations, plenty of pop culture chatter, and a heaping helping of Nintendo news. Hope you can stomach it all!

Number 1000A thousand episodes of the GoNintendo Podcast? You have to be kidding me! I didn't think we had anything worth talking about to celebrate this occasion, but clearly I was wrong. We had another super-sized show complete with special guests, lots of laughs, secrets and plenty of tears. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for the longtime support!
