Summary

Where is 3D Mario?? A lot of Nintendo fans are wondering, so the NVC crew is here to debate if we’re expecting to see the next 3D Mario this year. Join Logan Plant, Seth Macy, Rebekah Valentine, and Brian Altano as they build a case for and against 3D Mario in 2026. From Mario’s 40th anniversary to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie to Donkey Kong Bananza, there is a lot of evidence on both sides of the argument. Then, the crew talks about Final Fantasy VII Remake’s excellent Switch 2 port and an oddly-timed but very welcome update for Donkey Kong Country Returns HD. Then, in the second half of the show, we reflect on Nintendo Voice Chat’s 20th anniversary by looking back at Nintendo’s buildup to the Wii’s reveal and launch 20 years ago, reading your emails about your favorite NVC memories, and reflecting on what the show has meant to us. Thank you so much for listening to 20 years of Nintendo Voice Chat! 00:00:00 - Intro & When Is the Next 3D Mario Coming Out? 00:29:14 - Final Fantasy VII Remake’s excellent Switch 2 port 00:48:27 - Looking back at Nintendo’s buildup to the Wii’s reveal 01:17:02 - Favorite NVC Memories & Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
