Sorry for how late this episode is, I've been a sick boy. But I'm making up for lost time by taking you with me to Stardew Valley: Symphony of Seasons and sharing my experience at this wonderful concert! Plus, plenty of thoughts on the good video games I've been playing and talking about how weirdly parasocial people are about Nintendo execs!

I'm joined by Marcus aka Siactro to chat about his recently released indie 3D platformer, Toree Saturn. Marcus gives us an honest look into the realities of making an indie game in 2025 when, sometimes, simply making something great doesn't guarantee great sales. Y'all should go buy Toree Saturn! Plus - my full thoughts on Kirby and the Forgotten Land's new Star-Crossed World DLC... and much more!

The theme of this episode (if there is one) is, I think, expectation. As I sit down to share my in-depth thoughts on Donkey Kong Bananza - one of Nintendo's very best, for my money - I think about the weight of expectation placed upon the game. Will it revive this dormant franchise? Will it make my Nintendo Switch 2 worth the investment? Is it as good as Super Mario Odyssey? As we evaluate this most recent Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, I also think about how we measure these presentations against our expectations for them. So, uh, yeah. There's a lot to get into on this episode.

We've gathered a whole bunch of great community submissions from y'all, sharing your favorite games and memories from the past eight years! It gave us a great excuse to celebrate some great games on a platform that's meant so much to all of us.

I've been doing content creation (and specifically Nintendo-focused content creation) full-time for over three years now, if you can believe it. How did I get here?
