The Nintendo Drive

We've officially entered the summer gaming news cycle! With Tears of the Kingdom having just released and a few odd marketing decisions, we have to wonder... are we even getting a typical summer Nintendo Direct at all this year? ★ LINKS ★ ► Support The Nintendo Drive on Patreon: https://patreon.com/carpoolgaming ► Join our amazing Discord community: https://discord.com/invite/WR3qcXJq9n ► Get...

We've talked a LOT about Tears of the Kingdom here on the show. There's so much GAME there to talk about, after all. But this week... maybe it's time we looked at it from a different perspective. Could Tears of the Kingdom possibly be *too* big? ★ LINKS ★ ► Support The Nintendo Drive on Patreon: https://patreon.com/carpoolgaming ► Join our amazing Discord community: https://discord.com...

It's been ten days since Tears of the Kingdom released, our hours have populated and... well, some of us haven't been sleeping well, it seems.

Well, it's here. Tears of the Kingdom has now been out for several days, somehow. We've played it. We've streamed it. And it's very quickly become dangerous for our physical and mental well being.

With Tears of the Kingdom hot on everybody's minds, we've decided to take it a step further. Tears of the Kingdom? More like TIER LIST of the Kingdom.

Listen. I'm sure there's plenty of lore and story to dissect from the final Tears of the Kingdom trailer. But who cares about any of that? Besides, would it be SO awful if we just... let this Ganon win? Would it be SO bad? Think about it. ★ LINKS ★ ► Support The Nintendo Drive on Patreon: https://patreon.com/carpoolgaming ► Join our amazing Discord community: https://discord.com/invite/WR3...

The time is finally upon us. In just a few days, the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U eShops will be closing their doors forever.

There have been recent reports that the eventual successor to the Nintendo Switch will be difficult to make backwards compatible with games on the current Nintendo Switch we all have.
