Content. That's what they call it. Content. As if its there to fill a hole, a void if you will, to be churned out like ice cream at a factory, to be repeated and repeated ad nauseum, to have no value other than existing. Well I refuse to be called content, and so should you. Anyway here is our podcast.

You know the hardest thing about titling episodes is when most of the episode is about something you know people won't click on because SEO juice and what not. Like Ristar is a cool game and we have a good discussion about it but nobody ain't clicking on that. So I have to lead with "Open World F-Zero" in the title. Like yeah we talk about that, but only for like 5 minutes. But hey brains are dumb so you probably clicked on this because of the F-Zero. No I'm not calling you dumb, I'm calling your brain dumb. There is a difference. Trust me. I should know. My brain is real dumb.

So like do the animals in animal crossing know that I haven't been there for months? Does it weigh on their digital consciousness? I used to think that as a kid. You know that the animals actually kept existing in their digital prison while I wasn't there. It was fine of course, they didn't know it. Kind like Plato's cave you know. You don't know what you don't know, ignorance is bliss, et al etc. I wonder what it would be like to be an NPC. Probably bad I imagine. Probably not as bad as that movie with Ryan Reynolds about and NPC. Which I haven't seen to be clear. It could be a masterpiece. Anyway, maybe they miss me and I should go back, haven't been in a while.

Metroid Dread is real. It's REAL. A video game. You can play it. Why aren't you playing it right now? Why are you reading this podcast description instead of basking in the warm glow, the shining bliss, the godly rays of Metroid Dread. Metroid Dread is that feeling you get on a cold winter's night huddled up to the fire. It's the sweet smell of honey on an autumn breeze, the taste of melted butter on a fresh piece of toast. Metroid Dread exists and so do you. Let's talk about it.

Hey there it is me, Nbz. I don't know if anyone reads the description or not. I think most people just look at the timestamps and don't actually read the little thing I write here? Should I stop doing it? I don't know. I kinda like writing it but I also don't know if its worth writing. Anyway this episode has some video games like Eastward which is very good and Toem which is also good and Flynn: Son of Crimson which is quite good. Then we talk about that Nintendo Direct where they talk about Chris Pratt being Mario for some reason. Oh also Bayonetta 3 and a 3D Kirby game. Wild stuff people. Truly wild. Anyway if you did read this then contact me or email the show and let me know if you care about it, and if no one does then I think I'll just start leaving timestamps here. Anyway have a nice day and I hope you enjoy the episode.

Hey folks, we're back! It's been a while since we recorded so we have a ton to talk about, including Nintendo's latest release WarioWare: Get It Together that we've both been playing and enjoying. Bally and Nbz have also been diving deep into Axiom Verge 2, the follow up to the cult classic Metroidvania and have a lot of good things to say about it. Nbz meanwhile finally finished the behemoth of a game that is The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve, one which he thinks holds up as a series best, and we close things out with a quick chat about What The Dub, a ridiculous party game that is excellent for stag weekends. After the break we answer your emails about the Game Boy games we want to see come to Switch Online as well as ranking the sales potential of Nintendo's releases for the end of the year. We finish things up with a discussion about how much we spend on video games and the price of the hobby in general, spurred on by a supposed price drop that the Switch is getting in Europe.

Hey everyone! Apologies if this episode sounds out of date, that's because it is! We recorded this one a while ahead of release because Bally was getting married. However we still got plenty of games to talk about, including Pokemon Legends Arceus and the new footage shown in a recent Pokemon Presents showcase - it's definitely growing on us. Nbz meanwhile has been puzzling around in Lego Builders Journey, a branded game with a heart of gold, while Bally has played through the short but sweet adventure Florence on Switch. Nbz has also been taking an RPG history lesson with Soul Blazer, an oft forgotten game from Quintet, the creators of Act Raiser, and begins his journey in playing all three games in the "Quintet Trilogy." After the break we take some of your emails about how our thoughts have evolved on games since we played them and what are the best video game romantic match ups that we can concoct.

We're back baby and its time for video games. We kick things off with a chat about the latest Indie World Showcase from Nintendo and how it might be one of the best ones yet with shadow drops and release dates aplenty. Nbz gives his very early impressions of one of those shadow dropped games - Axiom Verge 2, before both Bally and Nbz wax lyrical about surprise hit Dodgeball Academia! It's a Sports RPG meets Pokemon meets My Hero Academia and is wonderful. After the break we dive into some of your emails talking about small team indie developers as well as how Nintendo can create more experimental entries in their most beloved series.

Hey everyone! We're back, this time with a much shorter show than last time, but not to say that we don't have plenty to talk about. Nbz kicks things off with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, marking the first time in 10 years that he has revisited this classic. Bally and Nbz have both been checking out Death's Door, the recently released isometric action game from Devolver and Acid Nerve. Nbz has also started on The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles as this beloved series makes a grand return, meanwhile Bally has been playing Part Time UFO a cool little puzzle game from HAL, the creators of Kirby and TNL favourite Box Boy! Nbz closes out with a trio of games in Jelly Boy, Flatland Vol. 2 and Gunstar Super Heroes. Phew that was a lot of video games. After the break we hit up the email inbox and answer questions on game words that we mispronounce and whether fans should worry about games selling well.

It's finally here! We've made it to 200 episodes, and boy do we have a beefy show for you. We kick things off with what we've been playing, where Bally talks about the charming Zelda-like Chicory, a game where you paint your way through colourless world. Meanwhile Nbz has been hitting the classics once more, playing the original Doom on Switch! After the break we dive into our main event, making a list of our Top 50 Nintendo games of all time. It is a long discussion that was a lot of fun and we hope you enjoy listening. It should be noted that we recorded this episode quite early in advance so there isn't any chatter about the Switch OLED, but we will definitely be talking about it in the future. Thanks everyone for listening for 200 episodes and we hope you'll stick with us for the next 200!

Hey folks, we're back! Its getting close to the big 200 but first we must talk about the big Nintendo game of the moment with Mario Golf: Super Rush. Both Nbz and Bally have been playing it and certainly have a lot of thoughts to deliver. Nbz has also been playing the latest Smash Bros character with Kazuya Mishima from the Tekken series, as well as taking a brief look at Pokémon Unite from the Japanese e-shop. After the break we tackle some of your emails on Nintendo and Politics as well as making a tough choice of which Nintendo franchise to bring back (for a price).

Hey everyone! We're back with a regular old episode, though Nbz is coughing up a storm the show must go on! Bally kicks things off with another Zelda ticked off the list, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. Nbz meanwhile has been playing a late 3DS release, the forgotten Ever Oasis from Grezzo. After the break we come back to chat a bit more about E3, what we saw at Nintendo's Treehouse streams and our thoughts on Nintendo trying to ban co-streaming of the event.

Hey everyone! It's almost that time of the year again when we finally hear about all the big new video games that Nintendo are cooking up, and we're here to prepare you all for the E3 showcase! But first we have some games to discuss. Both Bally and Nbz have been checking out The Wild At Heart, an indie take on Pikmin that is delightful. Nbz has also finished up the second Famicom Detective Club game, The Girl Who Stands Behind. After the break it is time to get into the E3 spirit by laying down some Nintendo predictions for the show and speculating about what they will announce,  before closing with some listener predictions!

Hey folks! We're back with more podcasting and more Nintendo chat. Nbz kicks things off with Nintendo's newest, hottest release...a remake from the 1980s with Famicom Detective Club! He discusses the first game, The Missing Heir, and how it feels both modern and archaic in equal measure. Bally meanwhile checks in with Abzu, a relaxing underwater game from a few years ago. Nbz closes out the segment with Ori & The Will of the Wisps on Switch and implores everyone to go buy it as it is on sale. After the break we answer your emails on the Nintendo consoles we own and what will happen when the Switch eShop shuts down, before closing things out with a discussion on Giant Bomb's recent departures and reminiscing about our memories from the site.

Hey everyone! We're back with plenty of games and a beefy backlog club. We kick things off with a round up of the Indie World event from a couple of weeks ago alongside our impressions of Aerial Knight's Never Yield demo. Nbz brings Toree 3D to the table a cheap and cheerful e-shop platformer, meanwhile Bally has been playing an all time classic in Mark of the Ninja! Nbz closes out what we've been playing with Rain on your Parade and Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth (he apologises for murdering everyone's ears with these absurd game titles). After the break it is time to dig in with Paper Mario on N64! We talk about every aspect of the game imaginable with help from comments that you sent in!

Hey everyone! We're back and ready to talk video games. Nbz kicks things off this time with early thoughts on Cozy Grove, a delightful little life sim game in the vein of Animal Crossing. He has also been playing BOXBOY + BOXGIRL returning to one of Nintendo's most underrated series. The boys then discuss their time with It Takes Two a game that isn't on a Nintendo console but is absolutely bursting with Nintendo DNA. After the break we answer your emails on our most nostalgic video game music tracks and our favourite console libraries before closing out the show discussing the news that Nintendo will be at E3 this year and our thoughts on good games to come to the Switch Pro!

Hey everyone! This week Nbz's PC died so we took a second run at recording this episode! We kick things off with Bally's thoughts on Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Will he finally enjoy a Castlevania game? Nbz meanwhile played through Wide Ocean Big Jacket, a really well written and charming narrative game on Switch. After the break we answer your emails on Switch Pro & racing games. We close things out with a return to the Jukebox and it is time for Nbz to get his revenge on Bally with some tricky video game music tracks.

Hey everyone, we're back and we've got a lot of video games to talk about! We kick things off talking about the latest Smash Bros DLC with Pyra/Mythra being added to the game and they may be one of our favourite additions yet! Bally meanwhile has been making his way through the original Spyro The Dragon on Switch, a classic he didn't grow up with but certainly has some nostalgia for. We then discuss the version of Apex Legends that released on Switch and how pleasantly surprised we are by it's quality! After the break we answer emails about collectors editions of games and Zelda art styles before closing things out with a discussion of our game trade games - Code Name STEAM and Rhythm Heaven Megamix!

Hey folks! This week we welcome a special guest onto the show, Dan from Project Falcon Punch! Dan kicks off the show with chat about Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and all the benefits and drawbacks this re-release has to offer. Nbz and Bally then dig into the Project Triangle Strategy demo and all its intricacies. Nbz also checked out the leaked Dinosaur Planet as well as the closed beta for Knock-Out City, a game recently shown in the Nintendo Direct. After the break we talk a bit about the Pokemon Direct and their remakes/reboots before getting into a discussion about remakes, remasters and reboots generally, with each of us picking games we want to see brought back in those forms.

They did one of those Nintendo Directs again. You know those things our grandparents watched back when they were young. Anyway, we talk about it.

Hey folks! We're back and frozen over in this very cold February. Nbz kicks off the show this time with his final thoughts on Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, but did he make it through the end? Bally meanwhile has been playing the chill physics puzzle game Donut County where he's been swallowing houses whole. We then talk about Among Us and our experience with a small group of friends playing this phenomenon before Nbz closes out the segment discussing the SNES Online service, Super Valis IV and the weird yet wonderful Kuukiyomi: Consider It.

Hey folks! We're back again with more gaaaaming and boy have we been playing some challenging games. We kick off the conversation with the recently released Cyber Shadow, published by Yacht Club the developers of Shovel Knight. We sure have a lot to say about this Ninja Gaiden inspired action platformer. Meanwhile both Nbz and Bally have been playing Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, a homage to Donkey Kong Country in every way. After the break we answer your emails before closing out the show running down every Nintendo studio and discussing what they could possibly be working on!

Hey folks! We're back for the second episode of the year and we're already hitting 3 hour podcast runtimes. We kick things off with our announcement of our Game Trade games before getting into the Monster Hunter Rise demo. Will this be the Monster Hunter to finally get us? Bally meanwhile has been playing Katana Zero and loving it, and then we discuss Killer Queen Black on Switch, one of the best multiplayer experiences out there! After the break we get into our final celebration of 3D Mario with Super Mario Galaxy! It has been a long time since we revisited it so this is a deep dive that produces a lot of thoughts and discussion.

It's a new year and a new podcast! Over the holiday break we played a bunch of video games and are here to talk about them. Bally is first up with a heavy dose of nostalgia having picked up Star Wars Episode 1 Racer on Switch! We then continue the racing game love with Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled which both Nbz and Bally have been digging into. Nbz also has a new obsession and its name is Grindstone, the Apple Arcade hit that recently released on Switch. After the break its time to get into predictions both old and new! We start off recapping our 2020 predictions before making 5 news ones and trying to think of what Nintendo will do next.

It's time to ring in the New Year with our annual Star Wars episode discussing the second season of The Mandalorian! Enjoy!

Hey everyone! Since last year I put out an audio version of my Top 100 games I thought it would be fun to make a audio version of my personal game of the year list! Bally's will also go up when its done so look out for that soon! Merry Christmas and we'll see you all in 2021!

It's finally here! Our final show of 2020, and its a beefy one. We start off by talking a bit about The Game Awards, Sephiroth in Smash and the Sakurai presentation along with playing the character himself. We then quickly touch on the recent Indie World and Super Nintendo World directs. After the break we go through your own GOTY lists and get some great recommendations for some lesser known gems before we dive deep into our own Top 10 list for 2020. It was a great year of video games, even if Nintendo themselves felt pretty absent, so we had a lot to talk about and discuss!

Hey everyone! Somehow we have made it to the end of the nightmare year that was 2020 and we're thankful to have had all of you stick around with us as we went through it. We kick things off with what we've been playing as Bally finally gets his teeth into Slay the Spire, and boy does it taste good! Nbz meanwhile has to settle for a much less satisfying dish with Panzer Paladin, a game that could have been so great but suffers a few unforgivable stumbles. After the break we come back with some Game of the Year lists that you have sent in, before closing things out with our official Top 10 Games of the Year that didn't come out this year!

The time has finally come. Nbz has played Super Mario Sunshine. BUT before that, we have other video game to talk about! This week we are joined once again by Devon from EmblemCast who is here to defend Mario Sunshine alongside Bally. Devon kicks off what we've been playing with Pikmin 3 Deluxe, the most recent Nintendo re-release and has really enjoyed it. He also touches on Bug Fables which Nbz played earlier this year. Meanwhile Nbz is baffled and intimidated by Return of the Obra Dinn, a game that has become somewhat of a darling in recent years while Bally finally ticks another Metroidvania off his backlog with Guacamelee 2! After the break it's time to discuss Mario Sunshine in every aspect possible. The movement, the look, the levels and that gosh darn FLUDD. It's a very chat and we hope you enjoy it!

Hey everyone! It's getting close to the end of the year and we're playing a bunch of games as we get there. Both Bally and Nbz have put some time into the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity demo and have both come out with opposite perspectives. Bally also played a newly released little puzzle game called Carto that uses a map in a very clever way. Nbz has continued to be obsessed with Hades and gives us a check in, while Bally dips into the past with Donkey Kong Country 2! After the break we answer emails about our jobs, how we podcast and more, before closing the show out with a discussion of the latest Nintendo Partner Showcase and Nintendo's financials!

Editors Note: In the first and third segment of the show Bally's audio is a bit fuzzy. We aren't sure what happened but it should be bearable if not as crisp as usual!

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the show. This week Nbz has indoctrinated Bally into the cult known as Overwatch as the boys have been playing the game non stop on Switch. They've also played a recent indie release, The Last Campfire - a Zelda style puzzle game with a lot of charm. Nbz has also finished Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, a follow up to the retro Castlevania revival from a few years ago. After the break we answer your questions on our most vaulable video game possessions, as well as our thoughts on the dearth of traditional handheld style games on Switch, before closing the show out with a discussion of the original Fire Emblem release and the continuance of Nintendo's limited release policy.

Hey everyone! This week we have a bunch of games to talk about, including diving deep on Mario 64. But first we talk about how we are still obsessed with Hades, Bally discusses Minit and The Walking Dead Season 1 before Nbz goes crazy about Genshin Impact - a game with VERY clear influences. After the break we talk A LOT about Super Mario 64. Our history, our favourite levels and your comments! It's a great discussion and we'll be doing the same for Super Mario Sunshine in episode 183!

Bally then jumps in with A Short Hike on Switch, a game that has many Nintendo influences. The boys also discuss the new magical battle royale: Spellbreak and how bad they are at it. Nbz closes things out with Super Mario Bros. 2 from the Mario All-Stars collection that was released on Switch. After the break we answer emails on video game worlds we'd most like to live in and what Zelda remakes we want to see.

Hey everyone! This week we have a big Nintendo exclusive to talk about with Paper Mario The Origami King. Despite all the controversy, Nbz is pretty positive on the experience so far and has a lot to praise. Meanwhile Bally and Nbz both played through reverse horror Metroidvania Carrion, a game in which you play the role of a huge disgusting monster rolling around and devouring scientists in your wake. After the break we break down your e-mails including a game testing our gaming knowledge of each other as well as how we can set our expectations for presentations like the recent Nintendo Direct Mini.

We discuss why it took him this long to play through one of gaming classics and his views on how its aged. Nbz and Bally have both played a bit of Ghost of Tsushima, the latest open world game from Sucker Punch, before Nbz closes things out with chat on Bug Fables, a Paper Mario style game that fans of the original really want to pay attention to. After the break we answer your emails on the Ultimate version of a Nintendo franchise and our favourite depictions of food in video games.

Hey everyone. This week we kick things off with Bally talking about Rime, a game that aspires to be more than the sum of its parts. Bally also chats with Nbz about Min Min, the latest DLC character for Super Smash Bros Ultimate before Nbz raves about the inane process of buying DLC on the 3DS e-shop in relation to the extra DLC case for Phoenix Wright Dual Destinies. Nbz also checks in with the recently released free to play game Ninjala on Switch, a game which both surprises and underwhelms.

Hey everyone. Hope you're all doing well in our crazy times. This week we start things off talking about Black Lives Matter and what we can do about the current status quo before getting into video games. Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, alongside the Future Connected epilogue has taken up all of Nbz's time as he re-litigates one of his favourite games.

After the break we get into your e-mails about the chances of certain games coming to switch, as well as a discussion on our purchasing habits in the world of subscriptions, and whether Nintendo will ever make a Game Pass type service.

The boys have also been having a lot of online multiplayer fun with Nidhogg 2, a great fighting/platforming game that is as rage inducing as it is delightful. Nbz closes the section out with this thoughts on Terry Bogard in Smash Bros and the love that went into this latest DLC character.

Hey everyone! This week we return to chat about video games! Fancy that. Bally kicks things off with INK, a podcast favourite from a few years ago that can best be described as the love child of Super Meat Boy and Splatoon. Nbz follows up with discussion of his second Fire Emblem Three Houses run, and how he's been blasting through repeated sections at the gym. He also fell down the hole that is Slay the Spire and waxes lyrical about this rogue like card game that is easily one of the best games of the year. We come back after the break to talk about our mentality for actually getting ourselves to play through lots of video games and how Nintendo is positioning themselves for the blue ocean market with the Switch. We then jump into our discussion topic for the show, Switch ports, their history and their future! With Witcher 3 and Overwatch on the platform we've hit a major milestone in terms of the possibilities for the platform so we take a look back at how we got here.

We have a lot of opinions on the game, so it certainly makes for interesting discussion. After the break we answer an e-mail related to Nintendo's mobile games but more focused on games that should have been roaring successes and ended up failing to meet expectations, and then get into a deeper discussion of Nintendo's Mobile games with the release of Mario Kart Tour.

After discussing all things Meowtroid, Nbz finally talks about a game he's been chipping away at for months, Sushi Striker: Way of the Sushido! It's a weird wacky game that Nintendo don't make enough of anymore. After the break we dig into the real meat of the show which is our E3 predictions for Nintendo! There are some safe and not so safe ideas we have about what could happen at the show, but I guess we're just going to have to wait and see!

Hey everyone, this week we have a bit of a mish mash of a show for you! We kick things off with a brief what we've been playing covering some smaller games. Bally talks about Golf Peaks, a neat little puzzle game he picked up with gold coins on the Switch e-shop.

Hey everyone! We're finally back after Bally's trip to Japan and BOY do we have a lot of video games to talk about. We kick things off with Cuphead, which came out on Switch recently and accompanied Bally on his trip to Japan. He waxes lyrical about this captivatingly difficult action platformer. Then we hop over to Nbz to discuss Katana Zero, another recent Switch Indie that you should all be paying attention to. Bally then wraps up a game that has been in his backlog for a while with Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, perhaps the hardest Fire Emblem game he's played. Nbz finally ticks another Zelda game off his list with Oracle of Seasons and also chats about his first experience with Nintendo Labo and the VR kit that came out for it! After the break we discuss some of your e-mails including Indie RPG and Zelda-like recommendations as well as which Smash Bros character would come out on top if they were to legitimately fight to the death.

We will be back next week with the regular show, but hopefully you enjoy this in the meantime as a bonus!

Nbz meanwhile got back into the new modes and additions made to Splatoon 2, and also talks about Rive: Ultimate Edition on Switch and Dragon Warrior for Game Boy. An eclectic list for sure! After the break we return with our predictions segment where we look back on what we predicted in 2017, make more predictions for 2018 and also check in with your emails for some more predictions! Here's to another year of the podcast! You can support us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thisnintendolife, remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: [email protected] & Join our Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/mC8wjBd
