You don’t have to tell the NintenDiego Podcast that you love it, because it knows.  On the news docket we’ve got Splatoon update 2.2.0, Pikachu at Build-A-Bear Workshop, other Halloween Pokemon merchandise, the apparent unpopularity of Pokken Tournament, Mario Maker sales figures, Super Mario Bros speedrun records, not-so-skimpy Fatal Frame outfits, and the NES’s 30th birthday. Also a discussion about local beer for no real reason. This week officially marks one year that we’ve been doing the show, so thank you all for listening and we hope you continue to keep coming back.

It’s another slow week as we ease into the end of the year. Another Splatfest came and went with Cars defeating Planes, the Zelda Symphony performs on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Nintendo mails out Tri Force Heroes demo codes, Legendary Pokemon distributions are coming soon all around the world, data leaks point towards a possible Twilight Princess HD, and a custom Satoru Iwata amiibo raises a ton of money for charity.

In lieu of actual news of any significance, on this week’s show we fill up half of hour of airtime with pure nonsense. Splatoon gets a semi-social webapp, it’s cars vs planes in the next Splatfest, Hyrule Warriors Legends to feature Skill Kid and Phantom Ganon, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 goes 3D, assorted amiibo chatter, and also a discussion on wall pasta. Usually I pare down this recap to a few key highlights, but that’s seriously it. It was also very late in the evening, so our energy levels were down (which I’m sure also played into our goofiness).

The post The NintenDiego Podcast – Episode 51: Ramblin’ Man(s) appeared first on NintenDiego.

It’s our semicentennial podcast, which is almost a significant milestone, and we celebrate by doing the exact same thing as every week. Rogue modders threaten your save data in Splatoon, Smash Bros 4 gets a slew of new DLC, Mario Maker sells like hot cakes, LINE gets Animal Crossing stickers, and Chibi Robo Zip Lash may be the final adventure for our tiny robotic hero. Also an impromptu discussion on idioms.

Andres is back this week as we celebrate Nintendo’s 126th birthday (without the fear of copyright strikes). Amongst our many headlines we’ve got: Team Art prevails in the latest Splatfest, Splatoon beta assets found in an unlikely place, Castlevania dev creates Mario Maker levels, mo’ amiibo mo’ problems, Phoenix Wright gets an anime, Fast Racing Neo voice talent, and Star Fox Zero delayed.

We celebrate the 30th anniversary of Super Mario Bros by talking about… Pokemon. Oops? Lots of big news this week with another Splatfest (Art vs Science), a new corporate president for Nintendo, multiple forms for a certain legendary Pokemon, and of course Super Mario Bros. We’re coming off our best event to date and we’re pretty excited about it.

The post The NintenDiego Podcast: Episode 48 – Super NintenDiego Bros appeared first on NintenDiego.

Our regular co-host is out this week, so we’ve called in a sub. As always there’s Splatoon news, but more headlines include Nintendo kind of being jerks to the TAS community, new Wii U bundle options, and Pikmin 4. We get pumped for the slew of releases coming this Friday, and celebrate the best video game mascot to never make it to the West. Stick around after the podcast for breaking news about Pokemon Go, a brand new augmented reality game coming to iOS and Android.

It’s September, so it is the season for pumpkin spice. But that’s generally unrelated to our modus operandi around here, so we go over the latest in Splatoon, amiibo, Super Mario Maker, and all that good stuff. Decepticons claim a decisive victory over the Autobots, and the small New 3DS finally comes to North America. Indie favorite Shovel Knight gets its very own amiibo while Kerbal Space Program is set to take-off on Wii U. There’s also Ace Attorney 6, digital sales through Amazon, Super Mario Maker pre-order bonuses, and an updated Netflix app.

We take a few turns around the rumor mill on this week’s show. From possible Smash Bros DLC to unconfirmed ports, the term “I don’t know” is thrown around. Shockingly there’s no new Splatoon news, but Pokken Tournament has finally been announced for Wii U. We take awhile to investigate Nintendo’s release schedule through 2015 and ramble about amiibo for a few minutes. Also an impromptu math lesson.

The post The NintenDiego Podcast: Episode 45 – Humidity Wave appeared first on NintenDiego.

Another week, another hefty dose of Splatoon news. We talk about the new Rainmaker ranked battle mode, as well as another Testfire demo for the poor souls that don’t actually own the game yet (or jerks like Ben that want to hustle some noobs). There’s another Splatfest on the horizon, this time sponsored by Hasbro and the Transformers, featuring Team Autobots vs Team Decepticons. Super Mario Maker approaches and we’re starting to see new features like the Sound Effect Frog, amiibo functionality and Mystery Mushroom costumes, and a terrifying new sprite for Skinny Mario. We’ve also got some Mario Kart tidbits, get ready for the Pokemon World Championships, and plug the brilliantly fantastic animated series Rick and Morty (Adult Swim, give me free stuff).
