We dedicate Episode 89 to a whole host of Nintendo news. From worrying reports that Nintendo Wii U consoles are rotting away while being left in storage, to a surprise Metroid release on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack.
First up, the bad news. Fans of Nintendo's follow up to the Wii have found that they're unable to boot up their systems successfully. While it's unknown the exact reason, it appears to be degrading NAND storage chips - perhaps it's time to get your old console down and out of the loft? Unfortunately, the bad news doesn't stop there as players of the latest Pokémon titles have been reporting their save games becoming corrupted after updating to the latest version of Scarlet and Violet.
Next up we move on to some more positive news with the announcement of a new Nintendo Switch bundle to celebrate MAR10 Day (or March 10th for those who didn't already know). Plus LEGO announce their own MAR10 Day livestream.
