The tables have turned.
This week, I am a guest on Koopa's pop culture podcast! Being a guest is way more fun than being a host, I get to just sit back and make jokes like an idiot (a cool idiot though, not like, a cringey idiot).
We chat about Disney, Marvel, Arthur, but most importantly, the recent rumors of a live action Pokémon series coming to Netflix. Which led us to a bigger conversation on Nintendo's recent big moves towards making film versions of all their famous characters.
Definitely a great conversation for any Nintendo fan. Enjoy, Brotendos!

Microsoft, Square Enix, Ubisoft, & Capcom all had underwhelming, borderline cringe, presentations this year.

“without a grand new idea, it’s hard to bring it back."
This sent Nintendo fans into a frenzy. Many don't agree that F-Zero needs a "grand new idea". But, amid all the complaining, no one has really proposed any galaxy brain solutions.
Until now!

I have become a full on normie gamer.
Last week, I began playing Fortnite. This week, I've become addicted to another battle royale shooter: Apex Legends. We all know this game is great but is it great on Switch?
We then discuss why Arhungry and Koopa are hesitant to upgrade to the long rumored Switch Pro, meanwhile I'm 100% sold on the idea.
Finally, Nintendo reveals the first project from a new partnership with PokémonGo developer, Niantic.
Is it another Pokémon game? Or possibly a Mario game? No...it's a Pikmin game!!

We got a new Pokémon Direct!
In addition to celebrating the series historic 25th anniversary, the Direct gave us new details on the upcoming Pokémon Snap but also revealed two new Pokémon games.
The first being the long rumored and long awaited, yet inevitable, Pokémon Diamond & Pearl remakes. After the long wait, fans did not seem very happy. The second, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, being an all new Pokémon adventure that appears to be a more modern take on the formula. But what is it exactly? Was this game revealed way too early?
We discuss.

Upon the cancelling of a legendary Smash Bros event, smashers took to twitter to demand Nintendo change their company policies over piracy to save one of it's most beloved games, Super Smash Bros. Melee. Thus, #FreeMelee and #SaveSmash were born. As long time Smash community veterans, Arhungry and Glentendo break this all down for non-smashers but most importantly answer the big questions: Is the Smash community full of little babies crying or do they have a point? Is Glentendo just Miyamoto’s pool boy or is he a galaxy brain philosopher with sex appeal?!
