Description

Parker Simmons (creator of the animated series Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart) joins the show this week to discuss the rise and fall of Nintendo's operating systems and home screens over the years.  From the meager beginnings on the Famicom Disk System to the sleek elegance of the Wii to the barren landscape of the Switch and Switch 2, we discuss Nintendo's design philosophy and how each console informs the next. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as Animal Crossing's upcoming free update & Switch 2 Edition, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild getting an official vinyl soundtrack, Rockstar employees facing union busting from Take Two in the face of Grand Theft Auto VI's release and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing. Listen to Super Switch Headz on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you enjoy podcasts.
