The Nintendo Entertainment Podcast is here! And with a Nintendo Direct (Partner Showcase) to break down, and a game to go "bananas about," two hosts will be very busy tonight!

First, Todd and Will do another deep dive into their time with Donkey Kong Bananza! Todd has finished reviewing the game, and he gave it a perfect score! Why did he do that? What drove him to do that? Does Will agree based on all he's done in his "completionist run?" Find out here!

Then, the duo dive into the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and highlighted everything that was, and wasn't, in the presentation. What did they like? Who was the MVP from the 3rd parties? And will we EVER get another mainline Direct? You'll know after you listen! Mostly, at least...

Finally, the two dive into the news! Pokemon Legends Z-A is making a splash in Japan, while also releasing some new gameplay footage! Furthermore, there's the arrival of Mario Paint on Nintendo Switch online, a potential leak about Splatoon Raiders, and Todd makes a pitch as to why Star Fox should get the "Bananza Treatment!"

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