Summary

It’s The Legend of Zelda’s 40th anniversary this week, so we’re turning our attention to where the next big 3D entry should go following Tears of the Kingdom. Join Logan Plant, Seth Macy, Rebekah Valentine, and Sam Claiborn as they discuss what they want from the next open world Zelda, including a refreshed art style, a new take on the light world/dark world mechanic, and ideas for twists on the classic good vs. evil tale. But before they get into all that, the Virtual Boy library is now available on Nintendo Switch Online, and we’re so excited that we can finally play this long lost library of Nintendo games. Sam shows off his original Virtual Boy console and game library, and Logan and Seth talk about jumping in for the very first time in 2026. Later, we talk about Sam’s hands-on time with the new Pokemon pinball machine, Reb’s huge Stardew Valley interview, Seth’s thoughts on Mario Tennis Fever, and the shadowdrop of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. 00:00:00 - Intro & Virtual Boy 00:22:59 - The Legend of Zelda’s 40th Anniversary 00:48:30 - Pokemon Pinball & Stardew Valley 01:10:08 - Mario Tennis Fever 01:19:45 - Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition & Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
