Nintendo Entertainment Podcast – Episode 432 – Oh, Bananza!

We're breaking through...down to the core!!!!
By Todd BlackJune 20, 2025
Nintendo Entertainment Podcast Banner

The Nintendo Entertainment Podcast is here! And on the second week anniversary of the Nintendo Switch 2, the hosts will have plenty to discuss!

First, Todd and Scott break down their gaming exploits! Todd has finally finished his review of Mario Kart World, and he breaks down what he really thinks of it! As for Scott, he, too, got a Switch 2 review up via Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, as well as diving into the divisive FBC Firebreak!

Then, in the news, Donkey Kong Bananza got a massive Direct that shocked the hosts to their (planetary) core! How hyped are they for the game after all these revelations? They break it down! Also, Mario Kart World has reached a milestone, as has the Switch 2 via its Japan sales! However, are the 3rd-party struggling with the systems? They’ll reveal all!

Finally, in the main event, the guys think about other Nintendo franchises that could use a Bananza-style upgrade! What will they pick? How will they improve their gameplay loops and stories? It’ll be a fun time in “Game Makers!”

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the Nintendo Entertainment Podcast!

Don’t forget that we want YOUR suggestions for opening themes for future episodes of the podcast! Send your NES, SNES, N64, Game Cube, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, or Nintendo DS suggestions via Twitter! You can reach Tri-Force Todd at @Guardians_Comic, Skull Kid Scott at @SithScott, or Wario Will at @shadowz596! AND, you can reach us at our podcast handle @NEPPodcast!
