Last week, we talked about Nintendo’s latest sales data announced during their annual fiscal report. This week, we begin with a look at sales for Tears of the Kingdom and how that compares to BReath of the Wild and other titles and series.

We delve further into Tears of the Kingdom, with Kirk and Jemma having jumped back into the game this week. Where are we at? What have we achieved? And how do we feel about it 12 months on?

We talk about our favorite moments in the game, along with what we think could be improved in future iterations. Plus, we talk about the future of the franchise, the lack of DLC for Tears of the Kingdom, and much more.

We end the show by chatting about a couple of non-Zelda games we’re playing, including Please Fix My Road and Ikki Unite.

Have you been playing Tears of the Kingdom recently? Let us know your thoughts on Tears of the Kingdom. How do you feel about it on its anniversary?

The post Pure Nintendo Podcast E61 | We revisit Tears of the Kingdom! appeared first on Pure Nintendo.

Last week, we revisited Jemma’s trip in Japan, including a discussion about the amazing Super Nintendo World. This week, we take things under the ocean to discuss a couple of recently released titles set underwater.

Endless Ocean: Luminous is the third in the series, presenting a relaxing scuba-diving adventure with over 500 creatures to catalogue. Meanwhile, Another Crab’s Treasure may look cute on the surface, but it’s actually a tough Soulslike experience featuring difficult battles and plenty of collectibles.

We also delve into the altest Zelda movie news, with director Wes Ball giving fans hope that he’s taking it seriously as a fan himself. Plus, keen eyes online have spotted a new ESRB rating for something called Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. Is this a new Remix-style game coming our way soon?

The post Pure Nintendo Podcast E59 | Undersea adventures! appeared first on Pure Nintendo.

Last week, we got into the pros and cons of originals vs. remakes. This week, we discuss some amazing titles heading to the Nintendo Switch in physical format via Premium Edition Games.

We go through a list of outstanding titles, from the cuteness of Poglings to the dark RPG goodness of Kristala. We also touch on the Mana-inspired Godshard Chronicles along with the platforming prowess of Atomic Owl. Other highlights include Tadpole Treble Encore, Scarlet Tower, and Curse Crackers: For Whom the Belle Toils. There’s a lot of great content to get into!

Indie devs do some amazing work, but there’s a lot of content that gets missed on the eShop. The Premium Edition Games team works closely with developers to help highlight high-quality games and help preserve them in physical format. Check out the latest offerings from Premium Edition Games.

We also chat about the latest games we’re playing,including Snufkin and Loretta.

The post Pure Nintendo Podcast E57 | We get hyped for physical games! appeared first on Pure Nintendo.

Last week, we discussed all things Mario in celebration of MAR10 Day. This week is all about the Muchroom Kingdom’s famed princess, Princess Peach. With her latest game out now, we talk about our time with Princess Peach: Showtime so far. And it’s looking good.

A recent interview with Wes Ball, who’s directing the upcoming Legend of Zelda movie, reveals some of his thoughts on the world he’s creating for the film. We spend some time dicussing our reactions, hopes, and thoughts on the upcoming film.

Meanwhile, the Gameboy Advance was released in Japan 23 year ago last week. We discuss our fave memories with the handheld, which games we enjoyed, and more.

We wrap up with a chat about the games we’re playing, including Princess Peach: Showtime! of course. Kirk has an interesting update on The Vale, as well as a JRPG called Legend of Legacy. Or is it Legacy of Legend?

The post Pure Nintendo Podcast E55 | Our time with Princess Peach: Showtime! appeared first on Pure Nintendo.

Last week, we speculated about what might be announced on March 10, this week we know for sure. We talk about the new movie, new LEGO sets, and the two games coming to us soon in the form of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD.

We also chat about the games we’re currently playing. It’s a mixed bag this week, with Jemma playing something fun called Astro Duel II and something frustrating called rough Justice ’84. Meanwhile, Kirk has been continuing his quest with Unicorn Overlord as well experiencing something quite unique with The Vale: Shadow of the Crown, something developed with vision-impaired players in mind. Cool!

We also look into the altest Switch 2 rumors, including a new name and some tech details.

The post Pure Nintendo Podcast E54 | Happy MAR10 Day! appeared first on Pure Nintendo.

Last week, we broke down the latest Pokémon news. This week we kick things off with a look at Mario Day – the annual celebration of all things Mario. We recorded before March 10, so we have fun speculating on what could be announced on the day.

Princess Peach Showtime! is heading to the Switch shortly and a new demo is available to try right now. Jemma has played through and gives her thoughts on the game so far. It’s looking good!

Meanwhile, Kirk is playing the highly anticipated Unicorn Overlord along with something interesting called Grime. We get into the nitty gritty of whether these games hit the spot.

We dissect the latest Switch 2 rumors, discussing everything from price to technology. It’s fun to speculate, and we have our own opinions of course, but nothing is final until we hear from Nintendo. When will that happen? Who knows!

The post Pure Nintendo Podcast E53 | Our time with the Princess Peach demo appeared first on Pure Nintendo.

Last week, we discussed Nintendo’s Partner Showcase. This week it’s all about the Pokémon equivalent as we celebrate last week’s Pokémon Day on February 27. The presentation gives us updates on Pokémon GO, Pokémon Sleep, Pokémon Unite, and Pokémon Violet/Scarlet. Plus two new games were announced in the form of Pokémon Trading Card Pocket for mobile, and Pokémon Legends Z-A for the Nintendo Switch. We give our impressions on each of these updates, and what we’re excited about from the world of Pokémon over the next 12 months.

We also discuss some recent Nintendo-related news, including new LEGO sets and an interesting Simpsons reference, plus we go through the games we’re playing this week. We cover everything from the cute-yet-quirky Ufouria The Sage 2 to the brain-melting Quadroids.

The post Pure Nintendo Podcast E52 | All about Pokémon Presents! appeared first on Pure Nintendo.

Last week, we discussed what makes a good demo, with Mario vs. Donkey Kong providing such a short experience. This week is all about the full game, and Jemma gives a rundown of her time with this puzzle-adventure so far.

It’s also been a busy week in terms of Nintendo-related news and chatter. A new Princess Peach Showtime trailer has everyone buzzing, and we go through the latest outfits and abilities. Nintendo has done a great job building the hype for Peach’s next outing, and we’re getting more and more excited for its release. Go Mermaid Peach!

We also talk about the recent news from Sony and Microsoft and how it affects Nintendo fans and the future of the console wars. It’s an interesting time, with Switch 2 rumors swirling, Microsoft titles coming to other consoles, and event the humble Wii U was trending during the week. Is it The Phantom Menace of Nintendo consoles? It seems to have some nostalgic value for players.

We talk about several games we’re playing at the moment. Apart from Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Trev is also into Phantasy Star for a special magazine article, plus Disney Dreamlight Valley.

We cap things off with our usual Switch 2 rumors of the week. This week is all about the potential release window and backwards compatiblity. It’s fun to talk about, but it’s all speculation until we hear from Nintendo!

The post Pure Nintendo Podcast E50 | Our time with Mario vs. Donkey Kong! appeared first on Pure Nintendo.

Last week, we chatted about the Mario Vs. Donkey Kong demo, which is surprisingly short! This week, there’s a demo for the upcoming Promenade, a colorful puzzle-platformer that we’re reviewing. This leads to a fun discussion about what makes a good demo. We talk about the pros and cons of long and short demos, including the likes of Sea of Stars and Pikmin 4.

We also take a look at the recent news of a Godzilla crossover with the fantastic Dave the Diver. This DLC is due out in May – though not confirmed for the Switch, we assume and hope it will make its way to us as well. It’s an interesting premise, and we can’t wait to see how on Earth Dave interacts with the king of mosnters.

We do a deep dive into the new Tomb Raider collection. Kirk seems to be enjoying his time with it so far, and it stirs memories for both him and Trev. We get into the graphics, mechanics and more.

We also look at the games we’re playing this week, from Sea of Stars to Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster. Plus Jemma gives a run down of the oddly titled Golfinite, while Kirk breaks down the upcoming Tomb Raider I-III Remastered.

The post Pure Nintendo Podcast E49 | What makes a good demo? appeared first on Pure Nintendo.

Last week, we looked into the recent Palworld controversy. This week we step back into a more posirive role, looking at a few upcoming and current games. We start with the Mario Vs. Donkey Kong demo that’s out now, with the full game heading our way on February 16.

Meanwhile, SEGA dropped a surprise announcement last week in the form of Sonic X Shadows Generations, a remake of Sonic Generations with added Shadow content. We’re not sure how to pronouce this title, so let us know your thoughts on that as well!

We’re playing a few games this week including up-and-coming platformer Promenade, the time-consuming Persona 5 Royal, and the stealthy Hitman: Blood Money.

We cap things off with our Switch 2 rumors of the week, this time focussing on some games that are being talked about for the launch of the system. It’s all speculation since nothing has been officially announced, but it’s fun to discuss the possibilities until we wait for the official word from Nintendo.
