Welcome to Episode 146 of Nintendo Therapy!
This week we’re diving into a stacked lineup of Nintendo news, trailers, and wild speculation. Kevin, Harrison, and Shawn are all here with breakdowns, theories, and way too many opinions from our double-wide trailer HQ.

• Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer — Safe first trailer? Yoshi sidelined?? Baby Bowser called YEARS ago???
• Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (7-min Trailer) — Hub world confirmed, classic biome vibes, psychic glove hype, “ability to jump” memes, and worries about Federation Troops.
• Kirby Air Riders + MP4 Overview Trailers — More info than we expected, Amiibo talk, Switch 1 vs Switch 2 confusion.
• Pokémon Pokopia — Cozy life-sim energy, new variants, “you are the Ditto” gameplay, Kanto vibes, big questions about depth, and… $70 AGAIN.
• Steam Machine (“GabeCube”) — Why it might shake up console pricing, why Xbox should worry, and what it means for Nintendo.
• WinBack (N64) Spotlight — The cover-based shooter that quietly influenced everything.

• Why Mario Galaxy’s trailer raised MORE questions about Movie #3.
• Why Kevin doesn’t understand Rosalina’s massive fanbase (sorry).
• The dream Wario-led “Koopa Kid Suicide Squad” movie that Nintendo will never make.
• Whether Prime 4 can keep the series’ isolation vibes.
• Pokopia might be the future of cozy Pokémon… or a big question mark.
• Harrison’s Steam Machine breakdown and how it pressures Nintendo’s pricing.
• WinBack’s secret influence on third-person shooters.
