  • Easily one of my favourite podcasts

    Started listening to the podcast a couple of years ago and it’s one of the reasons I look forward to (every other) Monday. They’re so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about all things Nintendo. Bally and NBZ have been my companions on many a long drive and Run and I’m currently working my way through the back catalogue. Thanks lads!

  • Probably My Favourite Podcast

    NBZ and Bally have such excellent chemistry, and a great knowledge of games and the industry at large. Great pod if you’re a Nintendo fan, but even better if you’re into a bit of everything. Some Nintendo-specific media has a habit of almost ignoring what’s going on elsewhere, but TNL is great at contextualising Ninty within the wider world of Xbox, PC, and PlayStation too.

    Also can’t recommend their Patreon enough, I pay less than £1 a month and get a whole full -length podcast each month, a... more

    NBZ and Bally make this show fantastic in that they both speak very eloquently about each topic that they feature on their show and the perspectives that they each bring makes for great listening every fortnight.

  • Hoping to grab a pint with Bally & NBZ some day

    I am certain I left a review for this superb show last year, but iTunes seems to suggest otherwise. This feedback is long overdue. These brits generate hours of audible candy, ripe with reviews, predictions, insights, and recommendations surrounding the world of Nintendo. From the American perspective, their accents create a refined buttoned-up delivery of all things Nintendo, until NBZ goes off of the rails in his efforts to convince his co-host Bally that he is wrong when expressing a counterp... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 321 - Smelly Boys (feat. Vampire Crawlers & Katamari Damacy)
Q: What franchise and type of game within that franchise do you think would be a good fit for Nintendo doing early access?
They suggest something like a Mario roguelite or a Zelda MMO-style game could be a fit, but the speakers acknowledge that Nintendo tends toward polished, finalized releases and would likely implement any early-access-like approach in a way that preserves their brand image, possibly through previews or demos rather than true early access.
Episode 308 - Allegedly (feat. Professor Layton, Despelote, PowerWash Simulator 2 & More)
Q: How do you guys feel about difficulty in games?
Generally, I play on normal difficulty, but I think embracing a game at its intended challenge is important for growth and enjoyment.
Episode 308 - Allegedly (feat. Professor Layton, Despelote, PowerWash Simulator 2 & More)
Q: How do you guys decide which games to do a spoiler cast on?
We decide based on timing, relevancy, and passion for the topic. Some games warrant it due to their depth and narrative.
Episode 304 - Silksong People (feat. Hollow Knight: Silksong)
Q: Can/should someone who hasn't played the original Hollow Knight jump straight into Silksong?
It's not necessary to play the original before jumping into Silksong, as both games feel distinct despite some similarities.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Spoilercast!
Q: How do you feel about the game's exploration of grief?
It's clear that the game handles grief thoughtfully, presenting a range of emotional responses.
