Don't get my hopes up for the Game Awards getting torn apart by demonic audiences and then show me the crowd NOT turned into a pile of flesh. Commit!

God willing, next year we'll be even longer

Never has the image for RFN been so impossible ...well, that isn't entirely true Episode 870: Bipedal Anuses Remastered

This Week: Age of Imprisonment, finding an Octopus, buying bad games for children, freaking out over a tutorial character, and the sameness of Switch 2. It's Episode 953: Get a Grip, Game Journalists nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/73366/ep...

Unsigned reviews are cowardly. In these times, I have to assume it means the text was AI-generated. Clicking on the byline brings up a bio for "GameCentral News Writer". metro.co.uk/author/gamec...

This week: we answer two emails - explaining Saudi's EA investment and making Metroid "popular." Talk about impossible tasks... We also cover the Animal Crossing update and Capcom doing Capcpom Things. It's Episode 950: Nice Quality of Life for the Sickos nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/73090/ep...

17studio is an eSlop publisher, foisting quantities of self-described "Hentai," that is almost always not anime and never pornographic. It is ALL AI generated. Today they hit a new low. While no human made an single asset in this game, presumably someone thought this slop should be THE image.

THIS WEEK: Syrenne joins us. Pokemon Legends: Z to A remains a city, I guess. Clair Obscur is that cartoonishly French. and Ghost of Yotei is here also. Also there was A SECOND KIRBY DIRECT! It's Episode 949: Ponder the Gummies nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/73009/ep...

Hobby-grade

This week: a very cursory look at Pokémon Legends: Z to A, Super Mario 64 and Galaxy 2, South of Midnight, Atari 50 DLC, and dumb garbage James is inflicting on people. It's Episode 948: The Reluctant Messiah of Albuquerque nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/72919/ep...

THIS WEEK: Close to You, Nintendo Vs. System, and games we took forever to beat in the Listener Mail segment. New Business: Books, Bananza, Mario 64, Mario Galaxy 2, Wario & Mario. So much Mario. Also King Kong. It's Episode 947: It's Open Season On Jonny-L nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/72878/ep...

I'm so tired, boss...

I cannot believe the emails y'all have sent today that aren't this topic. You're doing this on purpose.

3 hours of swearing about how "this fucking thing never works"

Or we haven't figured out how to unlock it.

IT'S FUCKIN' GHOSTS, MATE

...just send the email. We're going to have to talk about it anyway. You know what I'm talking about.

Show's live

My friend Stan (from NWR/RFN) needs help to care for his father. Please take a look.

There was a big Nintendo Direct this week. We moved our recording schedule to accommodate it. It was really REALLY weird. There was a book, and Koizumi talked to a non-interactive flower, and... It's Episode 943: I'm Seeing Double Here, Four Virtual Boys! nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/72471/ep...

What the fuck are we doing

Our Direct episode is on the feed as of late last night. It's a mess, as predicted. Article and art to come this evening.

THIS SHOW IS ALREADY GOING TO BE A MESS

Oh man RFN is so fucked this week

Our lawyers are concerned about the long-term legal consequences of sinking so many cruise ships.

China

Cranky getting ratio'd

Our second spoilercast episode of the week: Donkey Kong Bananza 100%ers Club w/ Greg and James We talk... I mean we talk about Donkey Kong Bananza. I don't know what you want me to say... I wrote an article too? It's Episode 939: Cranky's Forbidden Rant nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/72098/ep...

Listening to Xenoblade X spoiler cast, having not played the game, is listening to complete nonsense. Surprisingly engaging nonsense.

On Saturday we posted our Xenoblade X DE spoilercast nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/72096/ep... Tomorrow morning, we post our Donkey Kong Bananza 100% spoilercast. Here's a preview clip (not really any spoilers)
