Welcome to Kutaku Split Screen.

It is April 1st, 2016, and this episode is real and not an April Fool's joke.

My name is Kirk Hamilton.

I am one of your hosts, and with me this week, subbing in for Jason Schreier,

who's on vacation, is the one and only Kotaku editor-in-chief, Mr. Stephen Totillo.

Hello, everyone, in Podcast Land. Hey, Stephen, how's it going?

That's what you say when you start a podcast, right? Yes, podcast land is, I believe. It's sort of like

Munchkin Land. It's the people that we address every week when we do

this show. Hopefully it's cooler than Nintendo Land. I don't know. Nintendo was kind of cool, right?

Do you think anybody still plays Nintendo Land? I was thinking about that because we have that

game on our list of the best Wii U games. When I updated that, yeah, which that list is kind of, like every game on that list is good, but I think there

are things about that list that sort of indicate the woeful state of the Wii in some ways.

It's a very Wii U list.

Of course, there are many people angry at us.

I'm sure that a game like Nintendo Land is on there and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is not.

Tropical Freeze is really the most divisive game that we left off.

I think, I mean, it's pretty good, right?

I got it to check out the soundtrack, actually,

because we wound up giving that David Wise soundtrack,

which is really, really good.

That was like one on our list at the end of the year.

And I played it, and it was fun.
