Nintendo Times Radio 53: Nintendo Direct Hopes & Dreams
Welcome to season 3 of Nintendo Times Radio podcast! Thanks to everyone who has stuck with us from the beginning and welcome to all of our new listeners. We have a fun-filled episode to kick off the New Year.
We go over the latest games we’ve been playing (some new and some not so new), and of course take a look at the latest headlines and discuss how the adventure genre kicked off 30 years ago. Our Feature Presentation contains three e-mails from our listeners that we dive headfirst into discussions and games. You’ll have to listen for all the zaniness! Let’s just say we pick our top 5 best looking Super NES games, lay out our hopes and dreams for the mythical upcoming Nintendo Direct that hasn’t been announced at time of recording, and we have a special surprise for James. Enjoy!
Don’t forget to send us your questions and suggestions to be featured on a future show via an e-mail or by getting in touch with us via Twitter. As always, please rate us in iTunes, and subscribe to our YouTube Channel. Plus, you can listen to us on Google Play Music!
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:
