Brad and Damiani dive into our Patron questions about the highly anticipated, but still yet-to-be announced Nintendo Summer Direct.

Nintendo CEO Shuntaro Furukawa expresses his desire to ensure a smooth transition from the Switch to its eventually successor in a recent Q&A session with inventors. We discuss how Nintendo can achieve this and avoid a repeat of the Wii to Wii U transition.

We say farewell to Brandon Jones as he regales us with tales of his early days with Nintendo, as well as his thoughts on the upcoming Mario movie from Illumination.

Simmons and Damiani originally talk about video game adaptations in the wake of the Streets of Rage movie announcement before diving into the NSO Game Boy Advance leak, but Nintendo dropped a bombshell today with a massive Xenoblade Chronicles 3 info dump, new trailer, and a new release date (It's not a delay).

Damiani and Simmons dive into the recent Kirby and the Forgotten Land demo and share their enthusiasm and optimism for the game's upcoming release.

Special guest Matt Simmons of YoVideoGames joins the panel for a deep dive into all things related to the recent announcement of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Matt Simmons of YoVideoGames is back again with Damiani to discuss how the recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft could impact Nintendo's business strategy in the coming years.
