Nintendo Times Radio 34: Go Directly To Jail, Do Not Collect $200
It’s time for another episode of Nintendo Times Radio! Some of us played a lot of games, while others (ahem, James) took a gaming break. It’s almost all Nintendo talk this time around, with an extended discussion on the discontinuation of the NES Classic Edition and the recent Nintendo Direct. Enjoy!

Show Notes:
Nintendo Times Radio is a podcast covering the entire spectrum of the video game universe. Unlike the site, we often discuss games and topics unrelated to Nintendo. In other words, even if you’re not the biggest Nintendo fan out there, we hope you’ll find some value in our conversations and topics. Here’s what’s in store for this episode:
