Number 1008 What does the new year bring us? A couple of sick podcast hosts, unfortunately! Mom Brain is sick, I'm also sick, and Deux Michaels is fighting off a cold as well. Deux stayed home for this episode and we kept Nicky Hill from getting infected, but myself and Mom Brain held things down at GN HQ for a briskly-paced episode to kick off 2026. Less filler, more news, and a heaping helping of germs!

Number 1007 How do we end our podcast run for 2025? With some special year-end thoughts from you guys, of course! We hear what your favorite gaming moments of 2025 were, and we also look back on the big sellers across the world. There's also some juicy chatter about Metroid Prime 4: Beyond's development, we recap our holiday happenings, and we dive deeper into the unique mind of Nicky Hill than ever before!

Number 1006 It's the last show before Xmas and we have so many holiday treats to share! Great news for the Game-Key Card haters out there, the latest Switch 2 sales figures, tons of Metroid and Dispatch chatter, a look at my anime slate for Winter 2026, thoughts on the new Knives Out movie...we got it all and MUCH more. We're your one stop pod for 50% Nintendo and 50% who the hell knows!?

Number 1005 This week's super-sized show is all about the Game Awards! We cover the night's highs and lows, talk about Geoff's sordid affair with Miss Piggy, and dive into the numerous Switch 2 reveals. Is our coverage of the Game Awards better than the Game Awards itself? That's for you to decide!

Number 1,004 The game news might be slowing down as we're at the end of the year, but we've still got plenty to talk about! Obviously we share our thoughts on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, but that's not all. We get into online negativity, share some anime insights, do a Stranger Things deep dive, discuss Ubisoft's current Switch 2 output and SO much more. Oh, and did you know Frosty the Snowman had 3 secret families!?

Number 1,003 You'd think we'd be all kinds of lethargic following a Thanksgiving feast, but that's not the case at all. There are all kinds of lively conversations this episode, and things only pick up as time goes on. We have some VERY strong opinions about some VERY serious and VERY stupid things!

Number 1002 The Game Awards nominees are out and we've got some thoughts! We've also got the latest Switch 2 sales data to show just how big of a hit the system is. Of course, there's plenty of random topics covered as well, like game shows, gacha games, British pronunciations and plenty more. Plus, you get to hear me gush about what I might consider to be my new favorite game of all-time!

Number 1001 I'd love to say the next 1,000 episodes will be different from the last, but we all know how it goes. Lots of jokes, plenty of stupid conversations, plenty of pop culture chatter, and a heaping helping of Nintendo news. Hope you can stomach it all!

Number 1000 A thousand episodes of the GoNintendo Podcast? You have to be kidding me! I didn't think we had anything worth talking about to celebrate this occasion, but clearly I was wrong. We had another super-sized show complete with special guests, lots of laughs, secrets and plenty of tears. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for the longtime support!

Number 999 We've got a Halloween hangover, but plenty of spooky gaming stories to share! There's also some insanely stupid and very serious gaming stories discussed, and we'll let you decide which is which. Hope you enjoy the show, because I have a feeling next week's 1,000 episode is going to be a disaster!

Number 998 What a wild episode this was! We got fan mail, press packages, movie talk, modern culture debates, game news, Pokémon info, Any Austin codes, sales stats, Thanksgiving announcements and so much more. From kid-friendly to adult and everything in-between, we were all OVER this episode!

Number 997 What do you do when the normal podcast day is busy? You do the show early! What about when no one else can do the show with you? You do it by yourself, damnit! The show will ALWAYS go on! Will it be as good, funny, entertaining or informative? It sure won't, but it'll be long and boring, and that counts for something in my book!

Number 996 The latest Switch 2 sales numbers are in and the system is still setting records! We also talk about the rumblings of a Donkey Kong movie being in the works. Also, learn about an anime that will make you think I'm insane! All that, plus the usual stupidity in this week's episode!

Number 995 The gang's all here for this episode! Deux and Nicky are back in action and they're in top form! Plenty to talk about, all kinds of game discussion, and the usual zaniness that only those two can bring with them!

Number 994 Doug Bowser is bowing out, and of course we've got a lot to say about it. There's also a ton of encouraging Switch 2 news coming from big-name third parties, which is exciting in multiple ways. There's also a very sensitive discussion in there concerning the Pokemon Co. and "world events," so consider this your warning. Mom Brain and I tackle all that and SO much more in what turned out to be a pretty darn good episode...we hope!

Number 993 How much of a podcast historian are you? We have someone on the show today who is making their third appearance! The last time we heard from them was during the pandemic, but the last time they were in-person was literally over a decade ago! Well, they're back and have plenty to say about games, Nintendo, NJ's fantastic food, game music, anime and SO much more. We run through it all this episode!

Number 992 Nintendo just had their longest Nintendo Direct ever, and we take an incredibly deep dive into all of it. I don't know that we've ever had such a lengthy, detailed Direct recap as this one! Lots of good, fun, funny and serious conversations. I feel like we're all different people after this episode!

Number 991 A weekend wedding means an early podcast, but we still have plenty to talk about. We dive deep into the Star Wars Outlaws debacle, share new details on the Switch 2 dev kit conundrum, celebrate the launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong and SO much more.

Number 990 Is there a major Nintendo Direct on the horizon? We dive into the rumors on that, cover the Switch 2 dev kit shortage, discuss massive Switch 2 sales data and much more. We also do a deep dive on UFO 50 and Donkey Kong Bananza! We dodge spoilers left and right...or at least try our best to, so be warned!

Number 989 The whole crew is together again, and we've got plenty to talk about! UFO 50 continues to wow, I had Donkey Kong Bananza spoiled for me, GoNintendo got an exclusive reveal, I get people riled up with controversial opinions...strap in for this one!
