Episode 180 - Age of Calamity, Kirby, Splatoon, and More Nintendo Direct Reactions Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

We had our usual September Nintendo Direct, and while it didn't necessarily blow the roof off the house, it was still a solid show that gave us a look at a lot of cool stuff! Come listen as we break down and react to the announcements, including our thoughts on the Mario movie and casting voice actors versus celebrities, if you should be mad that Nintendo 64 games coming to NSO will cost you more money, Andy's scathing rant on Kirby, and of course, the latest snippet of DLC we got for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

All this, plus some thoughts on Splatoon, Bayonetta, and Zelda jigsaw puzzles! Come hang out with us!

Come hear us talk about classics like Okami, Shadow of the Colossus, and Hyper Light Drifter, while also detailing newer games like Ittle Dew, Moonlighter, and Fairune!

Show notes

This week, Andy makes his triumphant return to the show to tell a few wedding stories about his bachelor party and a homeless person sleeping in his car, while also tackling a plethora of Zelda questions!

Other than Clock Town, what's our favorite town in the series? If we could add any character from Zelda into Super Smash Bros., who would it be? What's an effective way to tell stories in open world video games? What gameplay mechanics from previous games do we think would be cool to see again?

All this and so much more in an action packed episode of the Cast! Make sure to grab your Champions' Cast hoodies and snuggle up to your speakers, cause this episode is a riot!

Show notes

Last week in our Definitive Ranking of Skyward Sword, we glossed over the dungeons, giving them a perfect 5 and promising to elaborate the next week. Well, that week is now here, and we have a lot to say about the different dungeons of Skyward Sword! We go over all seven dungeons, discussing in great detail the bosses, the items, the music, the aesthetic, and puzzles, and more! We had wildly different rankings, so there was some hard bargaining too! Come tell us what you think of our list, and make sure to let us know what your faves are!

PLUS... what kind of world are we living in when Nintendo acknowledges Metroid's 35th anniversary and not Zelda's?! Craziness!

Show notes

Alasyn returns this week to join Andy in one of their absolute favorite activities: definitive rankings! Borrowing the concept from their Hyrule Compendium pals, definitive ranking entails taking the ten categories that really make up a Zelda game - the world, the art style, the story, the music, the dungeons, the bosses, the items, the pacing, the extras, and the gameplay - and ranking it from 1 to 5. Where does Skyward Sword fall on our list? Come listen to find out!

Plus, don't miss next week, and as dive deep into the dungeons of Skyward Sword, PLUS, we talk some Zelda Dungeon Marathon! Come hang out with us!
