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.

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!

It’s been a chaotic few days as major rumors surround Xbox and the exclusivity of their games. Initial reports pointed to a few select older games moving over to Switch and PlayStation, but it appears the floodgates are fully opening, marking what could be a major shift in Xbox’s strategy. While most of the conversation has been around what this means for their most direct competitor, PlayStation, it’s also important to consider what this means for Nintendo. What games could make the “switch,” and could these games come to the current Switch, or is the new console coming later this year the perfect landing spot? That’s not all, though, because rumors and reports continue to trickle out regarding Nintendo’s Switch successor. The most recent one points to an 8-inch LCD screen. After experiencing the glory of the OLED Switch screen, is this a regression? Why would Nintendo make this seemingly regressive move? The Punching Up crew is here to discuss, so please enjoy!

In a very short amount of time, Palworld has exploded to become one of the biggest games of the year. Combining numerous elements of other successful games, it’s easy to see why it’s been appealing to so many. Despite the successes, there’s one area of the game that’s been called into question: the so-called 'Pals' themselves and their Pokémon counterparts. When does inspiration cross the line into theft, and has Palworld gone too far? Should Nintendo consider legal action against Palworld? Does Palworld introduce sufficient new elements to avoid copyright infringement? In this episode, we talk all about the craze, for better and for worse. Also, Nintendo is once again dominating in Japan and shows no sign of stopping, with a new console on the horizon. Please enjoy another episode of Punching Up!

Console exclusives have been the standard for decades. Purchasing a console granted you access to each manufacturer's lineup of exclusive games that you can't play anywhere else. Nintendo has adhered to this strategy since the very beginning and has maintained a firm grip on one of its most valuable assets. While Nintendo won't be changing its approach anytime soon, what about its competitors? A recent rumor and leaked rating approval indicate that some select Xbox games may be making the switch to other platforms. What could this mean? Are games like Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves just a test run, or is this just the beginning? Additionally, Nintendo is celebrating 30 years of Earthbound! Is Nintendo planning to bring back the IP in a big way, or are they keeping it at arm's length? Hit play and enjoy the first episode of Punching Up for 2024!

It's hard to believe, but all signs point to the Nintendo Switch reaching the end of its life. Nintendo will most likely release a new console in 2024, marking the end of the little hybrid console. So, with 2024 being the time to look ahead, I (Dustin) thought it would be a great opportunity to reflect on the Nintendo Switch — the reveal, the release, the best and worst moments, and, of course, the games! Please enjoy.
