Welcome to episode 138 of Nintendo Therapy! Kevin kicks things off with his hands-on impressions of Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Star Cross Worlds — a $20 expansion with 12 new levels, 120 hidden “staries,” a new boss, boss rush, transformations, and collectibles. Is it worth it? Kevin breaks it down from the perspective of someone who already 100% completed the base game.

Then we dive into a massive Nintendo Direct packed with reveals:

Welcome back to Nintendo Therapy, the show where we dive into the latest Nintendo news, rumors, and retro deep cuts.

This week, Kevin and Harrison go full Japan-exclusive with an episode packed with speculation and nostalgia:

🎮 NEW SEGMENT: Guess That Game – can you figure it out before we do?
🧝 Zelda 40th Anniversary Tier List – Could Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment kick off the celebrations? Will we see an Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2? Remasters of Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, or Twilight Princess? Spin-offs, merchandise, even a Super Nintendo World expansion? We break down every possibility leading into 2026.
Spotlight: Densetsu no Starfy Trilogy – From Starfy’s 2002 GBA debut to the expanded sequels, we dig into the “Kirby of the Sea,” its cult following, strange trivia, and why this Japan-only series deserves more love.
👾 Shawn wraps things up with thoughts on Heretic, Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2, and more.

Whether you’re hyped for Zelda’s future or curious about Starfy’s underwater adventures, this episode has something for every Nintendo fan.

Welcome to episode 135 of Nintendo Therapy! 🎮 This week Kevin and Harrison dive into Kirby’s big return with Kirby Air Riders and why Nintendo thinks $70 is the new normal. We also break down the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong release date, the state of third-party games on Switch 2, and spotlight one of Rare’s strangest cult classics on N64—Blast Corps. Plus, a look at the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection lineup and some small talk about Lego Batman and Nintendo’s history with PETA.

👉 What’s your take—will Kirby fans pay $70 for Air Riders?

Welcome back to Nintendo Therapy, the podcast where we dive into the latest Nintendo news, rumors, and of course, celebrate all things Big N!

This week, Kevin kicks things off with a look at Chibi-Robo, now available on NSO—a quirky, heartfelt adventure about a tiny household robot who makes people happy by cleaning, problem-solving, and exploring the world from a miniature perspective.

Harrison jumps in to share his thoughts on Drag X Drive, a unique $20 release that Nintendo spotlighted despite its unconventional design. Is it a proof-of-concept game that hints at a brighter future for inclusive character representation, or just a flat experiment?

We also shell out some time for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown and the wild state of the TMNT franchise. From Shredder’s Revenge to Mutants Unleashed, it feels like the Turtles are everywhere—does this variety signal growth, or a lack of focus?

Then it’s back to Hyrule for our Spotlight Game of the Week: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Long considered the “black sheep” of the series, we unpack its bold ideas, cult following, and ask: would a modern remake finally give it the respect it deserves?

All that and more!

Welcome to Episode 133 of Nintendo Therapy! 🎮This week, Kevin, Harrison, and Shawn, are back on Funcotron to talk those pesky humans, the latest Nintendo news, and some classic retro goodness.We’re locking in our Metroid Prime 4 release predictions (will it really drop in 2025?), reacting to Nintendo’s new Switch price points (NOT ALARMO! 😱), and digging into the rumor of a New Super Mario Bros.

Welcome back to Nintendo Therapy, your weekly session for dissecting the latest Nintendo news, spotlighting beloved classics, and occasionally asking the big questions—like whether Mario and Peach are just friends or if you’ve really beaten a game if you don’t remember why you’re opening a chest.

In Episode 132, Kevin revisits A Link to the Past and unpacks why it might be the greatest video game leap in history—yes, even bigger than the jump to Ocarina of Time. He also discusses the muscle memory of mastery and why sometimes nostalgia gets it right.

Harrison dives deep into the internet’s strange obsession with Nintendo romances, Peach and Mario’s ambiguous status, and why projecting romance onto games aimed at kids is…weird. Also: his take on DK Bananza and Mario Kart World, and whether this new DK entry is cause for concern.

The crew also reacts to the latest Partner Direct, where surprises like Octopath Traveler 0, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, and Monster Hunter Stories 3 had RPG fans cheering—and Kevin a little jealous on behalf of Pokémon.

Plus:

  • DK94 Spotlight – Is this the Mario game that everyone thinks they played but didn’t? The gang finally gives it its due. Is Big City the blueprint for New Donk City? Has any puzzle game earned this much respect?
  • The BeatEmUps Controversy – A popular creator fakes a Nintendo leak “for science.” Was it worth the chaos? The team unpacks the ethics of influence and misinformation in the age of viral game news.
  • Switch 2 hype – Shawn’s already got his hands on the next-gen console (somehow), and Odyssey’s smoother than ever—except for those motion-controlled moons.
  • Underrated Gem AlertSOMA hits the Switch, and horror fans should take note.

In this special bonus episode, I share my early thoughts on Donkey Kong Bonanza, Nintendo’s newest open-world platformer. It’s packed with familiar gameplay elements — from Mario Odyssey’s exploration to Tears of the Kingdom’s world design — but still feels fresh, nostalgic, and just plain fun. I talk Amiibo functionality, skill trees, outfit abilities, and why this could be the game that finally makes me a Donkey Kong fan.

Whether you're an Odyssey veteran or brand new to DK, this one's worth a listen.

Mentioned:

  • Mario Odyssey
  • Tears of the Kingdom
  • Banjo-Kazooie
  • Amiibo usage in games
  • Tropical Freeze
  • Paper Mario
  • Breath of the Wild

🎮 2025 Game Tier List – Every Game Kevin Has Finished (So Far!) 🎮
Kevin is back with a full breakdown of every single game he’s finished in 2025 so far — and he’s not pulling punches. From JRPG epics to forgotten gems, it's all getting ranked in this brutally honest tier list.

👻 Yes, the 2009 Ghostbusters game makes an appearance...
🧙‍♂️ Yes, there's some Final Fantasy magic (and maybe a little chaos)...
🕰️ Yes, a few timeless classics still hold up today.
💔 And yes... Chrono Cross might not have aged quite as well as we hoped.

🔥 Expect spicy takes, some unexpected S-tiers, and at least one game that probably doesn’t deserve the love it gets.

💬 What would your 2025 tier list look like? Did Kevin get it right or is he completely out of line?
👇 Drop your hot takes in the comments and tell us what he should tackle next!

Welcome back to Nintendo Therapy, the weekly hangout where we unpack the latest Nintendo news, dive into retro gems, and celebrate all things Nintendo. This week, your host Kevin is joined by Harrison to absorb some powers and reflect on the 128-bit era in honor of episode 128!

🟣 We kick off with a nostalgic GameCube shoutout: Pikmin, Billy Hatcher, and more. Remember when Sega went third-party and Sonic Team dropped their first original GameCube title? We do—and we have thoughts.

🎮 Kevin’s THPS FOMO kicks in. Modern gaming, lost media, mobile spin-offs—why is everything a franchise now?

📰 In the news:

  • DK Bananza overview trailer drops ahead of its July 17 release.
  • Harrison saw the Switch 2 in person—yes, Finally.
  • Super Mario Strikers hits NSO and it’s still hilariously chaotic.
  • WWE 2K25 looks great on Switch 2… but $70 for a key card?
  • Switch 1 price hike (starting in Canada) raises eyebrows.
  • Perfect Dark reboot? Not looking good amid massive layoffs.

🕹️ Spotlight: The Gradius Legacy This week’s retro deep-dive is all about Gradius—both the NES classic and the Game Boy’s Gradius: The Interstellar Assault. We discuss:

  • Konami’s early shooter roots and the power-up system that changed the genre
  • Why the Vic Viper deserves a Hall of Fame spot
  • Arcade vs. NES differences, Moai heads, and speedrun stats
  • The Game Boy sequel’s vertical scrolling levels and original design
  • And… wait, no Konami Code?

As always, we’ll leave you with some laughs, a few hot takes, and a shared appreciation for Nintendo’s past, present, and (very Switch 2-shaped) future.

This week on Nintendo Therapy, Kevin and Harrison dive into the chaotic charm of Kirby & the Amazing Mirror — a Metroidvania twist on the classic series with multiple Kirbys, a corrupted mirror world, and some surprisingly deep speedrunning cred. We explore its unique development history, visual flair, and whether Missile Kirby is just a little too OP.

Plus:

  • Did Sakurai try to negotiate Kirby Air Ride 2 instead of another Smash?
  • Harrison’s got thoughts on recent Nintendo decisions (and kicks off our new Nintendo Therapy Couch segment).
  • Harris has lost the feels for exploring and Kevin sets out to conquer his backlog.

A fun, thoughtful episode full of nostalgia, rumors, and maybe a pitch for Dark Souls Kirby.

Welcome to Episode 126 of Nintendo Therapy — your weekly dose of Nintendo news, rumors, and nostalgia, with a healthy side of Smash attacks and Amiibo addictions.

This week, Kevin, Harrison, and Shawn dive deep into the Donkey Kong Bananza Direct, a presentation that may go down as one of Nintendo’s finest. From skill trees and transformations to mouse support and Amiibo upgrades, the team breaks down everything you need to know about this bold new DK experience — including whether it might rival Mario Odyssey or Tears of the Kingdom in scope.

We also weigh in on the Pauline reveal, the $70 price tag, and why this could've (and maybe should’ve) been a launch title. Plus, we revisit a classic debate: Do Nintendo’s movies actually help sell games? Kevin brings the numbers, and the answer isn’t as clear as the hype suggests.

Harrison shares a wild rumor about Stellar Blade potentially heading to Switch 2, while Shawn can’t stop imagining DK’s animal transformations and explosive world design.

Then it’s on to the Mario Party spotlight — a chaotic romp through the N64 era. From joystick-induced hand injuries and terrifying low-poly character models to the highs of Mario Party 3’s story mode and Bumper Balls supremacy, we revisit the franchise that taught a generation of players how to win, lose, and blister their palms.

Whether you’re surfing lava on ice, spinning mini-game memories, or just trying to finish your first Donkey Kong game — this episode’s got something for every kind of Nintendo fan.

Nintendo Therapy Episode 125 – “Delays, Ninjas, and the Future of Switch”

In this packed episode, Kevin and the crew dive deep into Metroid, Splatoon, and the classic era of NES ninja games, all while reflecting on Nintendo’s current trajectory.

🧠 Main Topics:

  • Metroid Prime Book Delay & Prime 4 Speculation
    Kevin reacts to the official delay of the Metroid Prime Retrospective book to October 28 and discusses rumors that Prime 4 may be delayed to 2026. He proposes a possible release roadmap, including Prime 2 hitting Nintendo Switch Online and a Prime 3 remaster in October—mirroring Nintendo’s Pikmin release pattern from 2023.
  • Splatoon Raiders & 10.0 Update
    Harrison shares his take on the surprise Splatoon Raiders announcement and the substantial 10.0 update, which revamps gameplay and introduces major content. He questions the future of Splatoon 4 and wishes Animal Crossing had similar live support.
  • Switch 2 Frustrations & Concerns
    The team shares mixed feelings about the Switch 2 launch, including high prices in certain regions, scarcity at retail, and lingering doubts about the system's long-term legacy. Shawn reflects on trying (and failing) to find one, while catching up on Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario Odyssey in the meantime.

🕹️ Spotlight Games – Ninja NES Edition:

  • Ninja JaJaMaru-kun
    Praised for its quirky charm and nostalgic vibes, this early ninja platformer is recognized for its roots in Japanese folklore and its place as a foundation for Jaleco’s long-running series. It may feel primitive now, but it carved out a place in NES history.
  • Ninja Gaiden
    A trailblazer in narrative and difficulty, Ninja Gaiden revolutionized storytelling with its cinematic cutscenes and high-stakes gameplay. Known for its tight controls, epic soundtrack, and brutal challenge, it set the gold standard for ninja games.
  • Shadow of the Ninja
    Highlighted for its 2-player co-op and cyberpunk setting, this late-era NES title stands out with unique mechanics like weapon upgrades and charged attacks. The team discusses the 2024 remake, Shadow of the Ninja Reborn, and its surprisingly low profile despite the game’s cult status.

🎮 Additional Mentions:

  • Harrison shares concerns about the future of Mario Kart World and his personal disconnect with current Nintendo live service efforts.
  • Shawn calls for a demo of DK Bananza, the new Donkey Kong title, while reminding everyone that Gex Trilogy drops June 16 and Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound launches end of July.
