What makes Nintendo different from the rest
Plus, Destiny 2 comes to an end!
Listen to this week’s episode
Nintendo can't be stopped! With the Nintendo Switch follow-up coming in 2025, we expected 2024 to be a slow year for the iconic game publisher. We were wrong. We open the show with a long convo about the big announcements, including a Zelda game starring Zelda. In the back half, The Besties hop into Destiny 2 one last time to try the last major update, The Final Shape. The MMO FPS launched in 2017 -- the same year Nintendo announced Metroid Prime 4.

Listening to you guys talk about Destiny feels like you're talking about a game that was made up for an episode of CSI
Very excited about The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. I really like the art style from the Link’s Awakening remake and hope they use it to update the original game someday.
I hope there will still be HD remakes of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess for the Switch (or Super Nintendo Switch) once the release cycle for EoW slows down.
