Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Star Fox On Switch 2 ACTUALLY Worth It? | EP. 198
Q: Should you buy Star Fox on Switch 2 if you want a straight answer without researching the game?
If you don't want to do any research, the host suggests not buying it unless the gameplay trailer or Nintendo Direct content strongly appeals to you; otherwise, it's a buy for fans of space-shooter experiences and those who value high replayability despite the campaign's short length.
The Controversial Nintendo Direct! w/ cdotkom | EP. 196
Q: When might a Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time remake release and how might it differ from the original?
The crew predicts a November release window, with the remake offering an in-engine, enhanced presentation that preserves the core story while expanding visuals and lore, not replacing the original game.
The Controversial Nintendo Direct! w/ cdotkom | EP. 196
Q: What type of game will the next Kirby title likely be?
The hosts expect a traditional 3D Kirby experience following Forgotten Land, with a focus on level-based design rather than open world exploration.
Our Mid-Year Game Awards! w/ Kit & Krysta | EP. 197
Q: What was your favorite Nintendo Minute video that you recorded or watched?
Max and Kit/Krysta share fond memories of visiting Nintendo HQ, filming with developers, and a vintage Nintendo Minute episode vibe, with emphasis on the shopping spree episode and the Olympic-themed segments, which still stand out as fan favorites.
The New WEIRD Nintendo App Is Here! w/ Russ Vandy | EP. 194
Q: What is your biggest wish for this year's Nintendo lineup?
One host emphasizes the importance of a concrete Smash Bros. release plan, ideally a full new game rather than a port, and they discuss Mario Maker 3 as a strong candidate to refresh the lineup.
