This Nintendo Life

Hey folks! We're back for the second episode of the year and we're already hitting 3 hour podcast runtimes. We kick things off with our announcement of our Game Trade games before getting into the Monster Hunter Rise demo. Will this be the Monster Hunter to finally get us? Bally meanwhile has been playing Katana Zero and loving it, and then we discuss Killer Queen Black on Switch, one of the best multiplayer experiences out there! After the break we get into our final celebration of 3D Mario with Super Mario Galaxy! It has been a long time since we revisited it so this is a deep dive that produces a lot of thoughts and discussion.

It's a new year and a new podcast! Over the holiday break we played a bunch of video games and are here to talk about them. Bally is first up with a heavy dose of nostalgia having picked up Star Wars Episode 1 Racer on Switch! We then continue the racing game love with Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled which both Nbz and Bally have been digging into. Nbz also has a new obsession and its name is Grindstone, the Apple Arcade hit that recently released on Switch. After the break its time to get into predictions both old and new! We start off recapping our 2020 predictions before making 5 news ones and trying to think of what Nintendo will do next.

It's time to ring in the New Year with our annual Star Wars episode discussing the second season of The Mandalorian! Enjoy!

Hey everyone! Since last year I put out an audio version of my Top 100 games I thought it would be fun to make a audio version of my personal game of the year list! Bally's will also go up when its done so look out for that soon! Merry Christmas and we'll see you all in 2021! If you want to watch the YouTube version you can do so here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dy62WQG648 

It's finally here! Our final show of 2020, and its a beefy one. We start off by talking a bit about The Game Awards, Sephiroth in Smash and the Sakurai presentation along with playing the character himself. We then quickly touch on the recent Indie World and Super Nintendo World directs. After the break we go through your own GOTY lists and get some great recommendations for some lesser known gems before we dive deep into our own Top 10 list for 2020. It was a great year of video games, even if Nintendo themselves felt pretty absent, so we had a lot to talk about and discuss! 1:41 The Game Awards 11:35 Sephiroth in Smash 19:35 Indie World 27:20 Super Nintendo World 32:49 Your GOTY Lists 50:44 Top 10 Nintendo Games 2020 List 1:23:58 Ordering The Top 10 2:35:08 The Final Top 10 Order 2:36:13 TNL Community Top 5 2:39:07 Outro You can support us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thisnintendolife, remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: thisnintendolife@gmail.com & Join o

Hey everyone! Somehow we have made it to the end of the nightmare year that was 2020 and we're thankful to have had all of you stick around with us as we went through it. We kick things off with what we've been playing as Bally finally gets his teeth into Slay the Spire, and boy does it taste good! Nbz meanwhile has to settle for a much less satisfying dish with Panzer Paladin, a game that could have been so great but suffers a few unforgivable stumbles. After the break we come back with some Game of the Year lists that you have sent in, before closing things out with our official Top 10 Games of the Year that didn't come out this year! 6:45 Slay The Spire 24:00 Panzer Paladin 39:47 Listener GOTY Picks 1:01:16 GOTY That Didn't Come Out This Year 1:03:04 Bally's #10 1:04:57 Nbz's #10 1:08:03 Bally's #9 1:10:04 Nbz's #9 1:13:53 Bally's #8 1:16:48 Nbz's #8 1:19:51 Bally's #7 1:24:00 Nbz's #7 1:27:55 Bally's #6 1:30:02 Nbz's #6 1:33:37 Bally's #5 1:35:39 Nbz's #5 1:41:28 Bally's #4 1:45:52 Nbz's #4 1:50:01 Ball

The time has finally come. Nbz has played Super Mario Sunshine. BUT before that, we have other video game to talk about! This week we are joined once again by Devon from EmblemCast who is here to defend Mario Sunshine alongside Bally. Devon kicks off what we've been playing with Pikmin 3 Deluxe, the most recent Nintendo re-release and has really enjoyed it. He also touches on Bug Fables which Nbz played earlier this year. Meanwhile Nbz is baffled and intimidated by Return of the Obra Dinn, a game that has become somewhat of a darling in recent years while Bally finally ticks another Metroidvania off his backlog with Guacamelee 2! After the break it's time to discuss Mario Sunshine in every aspect possible. The movement, the look, the levels and that gosh darn FLUDD. It's a very chat and we hope you enjoy it!

Hey everyone! It's getting close to the end of the year and we're playing a bunch of games as we get there. Both Bally and Nbz have put some time into the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity demo and have both come out with opposite perspectives. Bally also played a newly released little puzzle game called Carto that uses a map in a very clever way. Nbz has continued to be obsessed with Hades and gives us a check in, while Bally dips into the past with Donkey Kong Country 2! After the break we answer emails about our jobs, how we podcast and more, before closing the show out with a discussion of the latest Nintendo Partner Showcase and Nintendo's financials!

Editors Note: In the first and third segment of the show Bally's audio is a bit fuzzy. We aren't sure what happened but it should be bearable if not as crisp as usual! Hey everyone! Welcome back to the show. This week Nbz has indoctrinated Bally into the cult known as Overwatch as the boys have been playing the game non stop on Switch. They've also played a recent indie release, The Last Campfire - a Zelda style puzzle game with a lot of charm. Nbz has also finished Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, a follow up to the retro Castlevania revival from a few years ago. After the break we answer your questions on our most vaulable video game possessions, as well as our thoughts on the dearth of traditional handheld style games on Switch, before closing the show out with a discussion of the original Fire Emblem release and the continuance of Nintendo's limited release policy.

Hey everyone! This week we have a big Nintendo exclusive to talk about with Paper Mario The Origami King. Despite all the controversy, Nbz is pretty positive on the experience so far and has a lot to praise. Meanwhile Bally and Nbz both played through reverse horror Metroidvania Carrion, a game in which you play the role of a huge disgusting monster rolling around and devouring scientists in your wake. After the break we break down your e-mails including a game testing our gaming knowledge of each other as well as how we can set our expectations for presentations like the recent Nintendo Direct Mini. We close things out with the Jukebox where Bally tests Nbz with 5 more video game songs and sees how many he can get right!

Hey folks! This week we kick things off with a long awaited discussion - Bally has finally played Chrono Trigger. We discuss why it took him this long to play through one of gaming classics and his views on how its aged. Nbz and Bally have both played a bit of Ghost of Tsushima, the latest open world game from Sucker Punch, before Nbz closes things out with chat on Bug Fables, a Paper Mario style game that fans of the original really want to pay attention to.

Hey everyone. This week we kick things off with Bally talking about Rime, a game that aspires to be more than the sum of its parts. Bally also chats with Nbz about Min Min, the latest DLC character for Super Smash Bros Ultimate before Nbz raves about the inane process of buying DLC on the 3DS e-shop in relation to the extra DLC case for Phoenix Wright Dual Destinies. Nbz also checks in with the recently released free to play game Ninjala on Switch, a game which both surprises and underwhelms. After the break we answer emails about games we'd love to play but can't and our controversial gaming opinions, before closing the show out with a discussion on our dream features for a Switch successor, whether that be a Pro model or a Switch 2!
