In a special bonus episode, I'm joined by Drew and Josh from The House of Mario to break down the official reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 and its new Mario Kart game. We have a nuanced, in-depth discussion about the reveal, our thoughts on modern Nintendo and speculate about Mario Kart, the launch date, pricing and much more!

This holiday, I'd like to share a story of finding hope in the dark, oppressive forest of grief. I was lucky enough to chat with Tom and Najati from Made Up Games about how Pine: A Story of Loss was made and why it's worth making a game that isn't "fun" in the traditional sense. Plus - my picks for my top five winter holiday Nintendo Switch games, tidbits from my Nintendo year-in-review, roundups of The Game Awards, The Indie Game Awards... and a whole lot more!

1000xRESIST has been my favorite game of 2024 since I played it back in May. It was a total treat to sit down with the game's creative director, Remy Siu, for this episode and learn a bit about how Sunset Visitor made their masterpiece. Plus - a ton of thoughts on recent indie games and a few stray Nintendo news stories!

In a busy season of stress, work and travel, Pokémon TCG Pocket has been my steadfast companion. So I was thrilled to invite my friend Phelan onto the show to compare notes on the game - me as a casual player and him as a Pokémon TCG expert. Somehow, digital Pokémon cards have provided a welcome escape to us both. Plus - early thoughts on Mario & Luigi: Brothership and a ton of exciting Nintendo news!

I'm kinda sick and recovering from a big move, but I still had to make sure we brought some spooky to the show this Halloween season.

In the maiden voyage of The Koopa Cast, we chat about the origin stories of both the podcast itself and its host. We chat with independent developer Antonio "FĂĄyer" Uribe about his game Arco - the organic nature of the game's development, the consideration paid to every element of the game and why you should give one of the most slept on games of 2024 a try. Plus, early thoughts on Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club and a few news items!
