Episode 59 - Nintendo Direct February 2023

A brand-new Nintendo Direct has arrived, giving us a look at The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime Remastered, Pikmin 4, and so much more. We're joined by SanityCrypto of It's Virtually A Podcast to talk about all the highlights from the show.

We'll also be discussing how the UK's CMA is suggesting that Microsoft sell off Call of Duty in order to get its Activision Blizzard acquisition approved, how we wish SNL's apocalyptic Mario Kart skit with Pedro Pascal was a real show, the news that Meta lost $14 billion on VR and metaverse projects in 2022, and the updated status of Soulja Boy's delayed $400 TRDR Pocket game console.

Finally, Donnie takes us all the way back to February 1997 with his Retro Rewind.
