Summary

Nintendo has brought back some long-lost franchises on Switch, but which ones still deserve a comeback on Switch 2? This week on NVC, Logan Plant, Jada Griffin, and Peer Schneider each pick a Nintendo franchise to revive from the grave—will it be Star Fox, Wave Race, or EarthBound? Plus, the crew celebrates the 20th anniversary of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, one of Nintendo’s weirdest games ever, and discuss how the team behind Super Mario Galaxy got its start with bongos. Finally, we break down the latest Nintendo financials and what it’ll take for the Switch to surpass the PlayStation 2’s sales record. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
