| 10/14/26 | Logan Played the Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake! - NVC 831 | We spent a little more than one hour in Hyrule, and it was nowhere close to enough. Join Logan Plant, Tom Marks, and Nick Limon as Logan breaks down his preview of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Switch 2. We cover the new art style, updated controls, and what it felt like returning to classic dungeons in 2026. Tom and Nick ask about how puzzles have changed, if it feels like an old game (spoiler: it doesn’t), and what newer Zelda fans can expect from this side of the franchise if they’re mostly experienced with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. After Zelda, the guys talk about Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, The Witcher 3 on Switch 2, and Logan’s overwhelming love for Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. Celebrate IGN’s 30th Anniversary with a Humble Bundle of hit games (like Subnautica & Remnant II) supporting Child’s Play. Grab it before October 16 at 6 PM PT: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/ign-30th-anniversary-bundle 00:00:00 - Intro & Ocarina Remake Preview 00:39:53 - Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave 01:00:43 - The Witcher 3 on Switch 2 01:04:44 - Switch Sports Resort & Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

| 9/9/26 | Nintendo Direct: We’re Ravenous for Metroid - NVC 829 | Metroid Ravenous is real, and it looks incredible! Join Logan Plant, Brian Altano, Seth Macy, and Nick Limon as they react to all the big announcements from the September 2026 Nintendo Direct. The star of the show was Metroid Ravenous: the next 2D Metroid that looks like an incredible sequel to Metroid Dread. Plus, the biggest 3D Kirby game ever was just revealed, with our first look at Kirby and the World Beyond. Plenty of Nintendo games are getting updates, too, including Pikmin 4, Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, Star Fox, and Mario Kart World. Plus, we’re kind of obsessed with exploring Wuhu Island in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. Third-party highlights include Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4, Professor Layton finally getting a release date, and more. Finally, we end the show talking even more about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices | 1h 09m 27s | ||||||
