The Nintendo First Podcast

NF & CJ discuss whether the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass is really worth it, and in our case, it'd cost us $80/yr. We discuss how it started versus how it's going, what Nintendo got wrong, what's still wrong, as well as what they got right & convincing factors. In a later discussion, we'll also touch on what this could spell for the Nintendo Switch's successor. Thank you for considering...

We get personal with our very first experiences with video games. Warning: it gets loud and is unbelievably funny(to us, at least.) We've decided to give you this slice separately, as it deviated from the main talks of the Direct and we wanted full focus on that. So, enjoy this little slice of us sharing more of our personal lives! Thanks for your continued support!

From new MK8D courses to a brand new Mario Strikers, & from Xenoblade 3 to the long-awaited Nintendo Switch Sports, four friends cover the latest Nintendo Direct, even if some entries upset them on a personal level...

Just want the Smash bits of our latest news review? Here ya go!, with Astro, CJ, & NF reminiscing on Fighters Pass Volumes 1 & 2, with recognition of their significance in types of fighters. We then go into who we desire versus who we're predicting, and trust me when I say this; they are VERY different answers. Enjoy!

Open world Kirby, Bayonetta 3, Super Mario Movie, N64 Online: what more do you want?! We've got Genesis online atop that, New Horizons Café seemingly confirmed, and a final Mr Sakurai Presents. All this and more with all four of us here for the first time ever in a special Nintendo Direct Episode of News Review!!! Thanks for listening!

Actually recorded this a month ago, but just now getting around to editing it. Anyway, this episode covers epic things from July of this year, particularly the last two weeks of it. We've got updates, rumors, leaks, and random news. We get into the Persona 25th Anniversary announcement, a possible Simpsons Hit & Run reboot, and a $2500 Super Star Mario watch from Tag-Heuer! All this and more on th...

This episode, a bit dated, is Táj's thoughts on Pokémon Z, as well as us considering will they or will they not, with the Gen 4 remakes finally becoming a reality, is it possible under a new name? We also get Táj & CJ to reminisce, as well as hype about Diamond & Pearl in 2021! NF will be purchasing Legends Arceus, but what is it? How will it play? What's the story like? Should they go the distanc...

In NF & CJ's first episode as a duo (shocking, I know!), we are long overdue on talking about the long-awaited announcement of an improved Nintendo Switch, only it isn't quite what the majority of fans & analysts expected. If you're still interested in what our thoughts on the matter is, pop in for this episode of In Review! (The second PokéLogic episode IS next, I promise! It was supposed to be r...

With CJ back for our return to PokéLogic, we review topics from the show's past, from how we felt Let's Go would've turned out to what Sword & Shield brought us, including The Isle of Armour & The Crown Tundra; let's just say we REALLY had a lot to say about The Crown Tundra. In the next episode, we'll consider a "will they/won't they" of sorts on Pokémon Z or something similar to Legends Arceus,...

Why did this not happen? Could it have saved Generation 6? Will it ever get the chance to see the light of day? With our guest Astro Nova, we will answer these questions and more in this episode. Follow Astro Nova twitch.tv/astronovatv twitter.com/astronovatv1 Discord?

Arguably Nintendo's best E3 since the Nintendo Switch era, CJ joins us for the first time on News Review to go over everything that caught our eye, as well as some great deals! From Metroid Dread to WarioWare, and from Danganronpa to Super Monkey Ball, we got a lot from this that supplied everyone's taste buds with "decadence", including a new "Sequel to Breath of the Wild" trailer. Crazy hype rea...

Now that Pokémon: Let's Go details have gone official (for several weeks), we give our responses, as well as what we want most out of Generation 8.

We're discussing how Pokémon RPG for Nintendo Switch will affect the Pokémon franchise as a whole and what "new" concepts they're introducing, based on the rumour that they're taking the game back to Generation 1.

Nintendo Switch Pro, Nintendo Switch DX, Nintendo Switch Plus, "Super Switch"... No matter what it's called, we delve into how the Lite & the quiet revision of the Switch brought them here. With the news of an announcement supposedly being "imminent", & with rumour-mongering being high as of late, we cover all of it; including price ranges & potential launch dates, we mean business in this new sor...

More Nintendo Partnerships, more Pokemon, more Zelda. What is there not to love about that... Listen to part two for your Nintendo-focused news! Thanks for your support!

We're back with News Review, covering everything you need to know from the month of March this year! From Jackbox & the 'infamous' Among Us, to Tony Hawk & Hot Wheels, we've got your third-party fix of news ready, kicking it off with eShop deals! Thanks for your continuous support for the show!

We basically discuss here how Squad Strike & the several modes under Special Smash could improve. Táj even suggests something new for the competitive scene! Who knew he had it in him, huh? The show's more digestible this time, I promise. Again, as we're new to remote hosting, we're still figuring things out, so please, bear with us as we figure it all out. Thank you for your continuous support!

This is the second of three segments of the "Smash" menu of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In this segment, we're doing a roster overhaul (minus DLC), as we're taking into consideration the fighters' modern-day representations & what they have to offer; what should be part of their overall look & moveset. We're also discussing which echos/fighters should've been part of the series before Ultimate.

This is the first of three segments of a five-part series of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Throughout this series, NF & co-hosts will discuss what could be improved about the game, now & after major development is finished. Each part of the series will appear consecutively after every other News Review episode. In this episode, we're making tweaks to the rulesets & how satisfied we are with the stag...

NF & Taj get deep into whether the Nintendo Mobile apps' subscriptions are worthy of their prices based on what they offer. Plus, a small dose of news review. As usual, we only do the articles that personally interest us. Also, the source we used for Pokémon Home was changed to slashgear.com. The articles for the News Review portion were from Nintendo Life. Thanks for listening! Again, I deeply ap...
