Nintendo Entertainment Podcast – Episode 433 – What A Drag…X Drive

Plus, the "cost" of keeping Sakurai around?
By Todd BlackJune 27, 2025
Nintendo Entertainment Podcast Banner

The Nintendo Entertainment Podcast is here, and with a co-host’s return, some new adventures will be explored!

And it’ll all start with the team’s gaming exploits! Will has gotten to play Donkey Kong Bananza, and he thinks it is a GOTY contender! As for Todd, he’s FINALLY gotten back to Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition and has gotten to upgrade his Skells! Scott, meanwhile, dived into Digimon, Mario Kart World, and more!

Then, in the news, Nintendo may have “bargained” with Masahiro Sakurai to ensure that the next Smash Bros gets made, but do the hosts believe the reports? Also, Drag X Drive got some more details and a release date, Final Fantasy XVI might be coming to Switch 2, Metroid Prime 4 is definitely not “out now,” and more!

Finally, in the main event, the team thinks about the next Super Smash Bros title and discusses what they feel could be added to make it stand out from Ultimate!

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!
