Welcome back to Punching Up! Nintendo is remaining tight lipped at the moment, but we’re still getting a trickle of new smaller things from the company, some that are a bit confusing.

Gene is back at Dark Souls Remastered, Micah is hitting the trail with Oregon Trail and I (Dustin) am competing to be the champion of Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. Please enjoy!

After Nintendo posted a YouTube video featuring a man with a bag on his head, fans were in deep speculation about what the company was up to. Could it be a new horror IP, or simply a fake-out for a much less sinister project? Today, the company revealed that it was all a lead-up to a new release in the Famicom Detective Club series, the first new entry since 1988. Our original recording just missed the window of the reveal, but we've adjusted with a pickup that's already inserted into the episode. Please enjoy!

At this point, we shouldn’t be surprised anymore when groundbreaking events occur in the industry, as they seem to be happening all the time. In this case, PlayStation, Nintendo’s long-time competitor and rival, is releasing a game on the Nintendo Switch. Lego Horizon Adventure will launch later this year on both PlayStation and Switch. But what does this mean? Is this a one-off occurrence since it’s a Lego-branded game, or could this be the beginning of something bigger? Let’s discuss.

Join us as we talk about our early impressions of the game, along with this week’s Nintendo news. Enjoy!

Continuing to await official information about Nintendo’s next console, we are gradually starting to see small details leak out, this time from Chinese 3rd party accessory maker Mobapad. As always, these leaks need to be taken with a grain of salt until they are verified with secondary sources. In the meantime, let’s discuss. New buttons, magnetic suction, and 4K support are all included in the rundown. Join Micah, Gene, and me (Dustin) as we dive deep.

Welcome back to Punching Up! Apple has changed its App Store policy to allow emulators on iOS devices. With that, we can only assume that the App Store will soon be flooded with NES, SNES, and Game Boy emulators. Given Nintendo's history and recent legal action against Yuzu, the company surely isn't pleased with the decision. However, the biggest question is: will they attempt to make a move against them, even if they have shaky legal ground to do so? In other news, an ex-PlayStation executive has joined Nintendo, and it's been announced that the company will be skipping Gamescom this summer.

Welcome back to Punching Up! Nintendo is eyeing the top spot for the best-selling console of all time, but the ex-CEO of PlayStation recently reported new sales data showing they’ve still got a significant way to go to claim the spot from PlayStation. Additionally, Nintendo's testing centers have been hit with layoffs just before the launch of a new console. Princess Peach Showtime is here, but is it for us?

These include new NSO games, two release dates for upcoming titles, Lego sets, and confirmation of a sequel to the Super Mario Bros movie! Additionally, there is a plethora of new awards and nominations for Nintendo from both the BAFTAs and Famitsu. While Nintendo may be rounding out the end of the Switch era with some remasters and remakes, there's still a brand-new game on the horizon: Princess Peach Showtime. Was the demo any good, or just a bit too basic for older gamers? Lastly, rumors of third-party support on Switch 2 persist, with speculation of a Persona 6 launch on the console. The Punching Up crew is ready to discuss, so hit play and join us!

Nintendo’s reputation for being an extremely litigious company continues. Over the past two weeks, their latest target was Yuzu, a popular Nintendo Switch emulator. While there has been legal precedent that emulation and game backups are legal, Nintendo makes the case that Yuzu has opened the floodgates for piracy, specifically citing that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was downloaded over a million times for use on the emulator a week before launch. In addition, Yuzu, while not directly hosting game files and Nintendo Switch BIOS and decryption files, paved a clear and easy way for its users to acquire them. So who’s in the right and who’s wrong? The Punching Up crew agrees that there’s obviously a place for emulation and game preservation, but when does piracy take things too far? Let’s dive in.

Nintendo fans have received some bad news: Nintendo’s next console, originally expected to release later this year, has been internally delayed to early 2025. While the reasoning may be sound, pointing to creating a better lineup of launch games, it’s still disappointing for those of us who are waiting. In the meantime, though, Nintendo still has other things to show us in the here and now, most notably with a new Partner Direct. Brad joins the crew this week to discuss all the news while Dagan is away, and you don’t want to miss it. Enjoy!
