We ♥ Katamari finally rolling onto the Nintendo Switch gives Matt "Shyguycity" Murray and I the perfect excuse to talk about it. We discuss the meditative nature of Katamari, the space it allows us for introspection and the things that we both found within that space. ★☆★☆★☆  ► Follow Matt on Twitter: https://twitter.com/shyguycity ► Follow Critical Diversions on Twitter: https://twitter.com/crit_diversions ► Check out the Critical Diversions fan zine: https://shyguycity.itch.io/critical-diversions ► Listen to the Critical Diversions podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/13NCqLwxDv0FO6VIY3EaTS?si=b5d76b81681f444e ★☆★☆★☆ ► Support Keep Nintendo Weird on Patreon: https://patreon.com/allnpodcast ► Get KNW merch: https://bit.ly/allnmerch ► Follow Keep Nintendo Weird on Twitter: https://twitter.com/knwpodcast ► Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/twodollarhero ► Email: [email protected] ★☆★☆★☆ Huge thanks as always to Lucas Pucas for the use of our theme song, "Blur Bridge"!

Rusty's Real Deal Baseball is Nintendo's 3DS "free-to-start" experiment that gave us fun baseball minigames, an interesting haggling mechanic and introduced us to maybe the most fleshed-out character in the 130+ year history of the company. Patrick Ehlers and Mark Mitchell from Nintendo Cartridge Society are joining me to break down what makes this game so special - and how this could very well be Rusty Slugger's last dance. ⚾ ★☆★☆★☆  ► Listen to Nintendo Cartridge Society: https://anchor.fm/nin-cart-society ► Follow NCS on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NinCartSociety ★☆★☆★☆ ► Support this show on Patreon: https://patreon.com/allnpodcast ► Get KNW merch: https://bit.ly/allnmerch ► Follow Keep Nintendo Weird on Twitter: https://twitter.com/knwpodcast ► Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/twodollarhero ► Email: [email protected] ♠️ Keep Nintendo Weird is proudly part of the All N media network! ♠️ ► Join the All N Discord server: https://discord.gg/HhS2yjZaQN ► Listen to All N: https://linktr.ee/allnpodcast ★☆★☆★☆ Huge thanks as always to Lucas Pucas for the use of our theme song, "Blur Bridge"!
