We've been thinking a lot about the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase that ran yesterday. We think it's very unusual that we're now in August and there are still five major Switch 2 games (Metroid Prime 4, Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, Kirby Air Riders, Elden Ring and Final Fantasy 7 Remake) that are supposedly releasing this year, but somehow don't have a single release date between them. Based on our experience of actually working at Nintendo, this is something they are probably pretty concerned about and trying to get a handle on as soon as possible. Let's talk about what's going on, why it's happening, and what the scenarios are for what could happen from here.

This week we want to dig into these issues plaguing Mario Kart World. Fans are very unhappy with the latest patch Nintendo put out but maybe even more troubling, the game doesn't seem to have the longevity or replayablilty we all hoped for. So what can Nintendo do to get the game back on track? We have a few ides that they can do in the near, mid and long-term to hopefully help the situation. Also in this episode, we finally learn what Nintendo and Amazon had been fighting about and we're still playing a TON of new games on our Switch 2.
