Nintendo Direct, Game Preservation, and New RPG Trends | Game Junction Podcast 89

The Game Junction Podcast

Welcome back to The Game Junction Podcast Episode 89. Ready to unlock the secrets behind the latest Nintendo Direct announcements? Join us as we rate this stellar showcase and speculate on Nintendo's future. We'll explore why Brandon Hurles gave it a perfect 10 while Mark found it to be a solid 8.5. Discover the wealth of new titles and remasters, from the exciting new Mario Party to the long-awaited Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Even without a new 3D Mario game or hardware updates, this Direct left us buzzing with anticipation for the new 2D Zelda game and its implications for the current console generation.
Curious about the strategy behind Nintendo's franchises? We ponder the balance of luck and skill in Mario Party and examine the ever-expanding character roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. We'll also dive into the kart racing phenomenon and share insights on upcoming releases like "Fantasia Neo Dimension," which promises to blend classic RPG elements with modern graphics. From nostalgic reflections on beloved franchises to predictions for future titles, there's something here for every Nintendo fan.
Our passion for game preservation takes center stage as we discuss the challenges and triumphs of maintaining video game history. We highlight the importance of preserving mobile-exclusive games and rare development cartridges while celebrating the recent announcements of retro game collections and remakes, such as the Valis III collection and the Gex Trilogy. We'll also touch on the frustrations with live service games and the vital role of platforms like archive.org in saving media. Join u
