Mushroom kingdom, here we come! This week on the NXpress Nintendo Podcast, Cameron Daxon, Marc Kaliroff, and Campbell Gill share their thoughts on the first official trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie and review a delightfully wholesome indie game. Starting things out strong, the gang dives headfirst into analyzing asking the age-old question: how will it compare to the infamous 1992 live-action Mario movie? Chris Pratt might not be everyone’s first choice to voice Nintendo’s mascot on the silver screen, but the gang comes to a consensus: how about we give him a chance? Cautious optimism is the name of the game for Illumination and Nintendo’s feature film collaboration.
Next up, Marc and Campbell shine an indie spotlight on The Spirit and the Mouse, a charming 3D adventure collectathon that shows what life must be like as a little mouse solving problems in a beautiful French village. This little adventure is short but incredibly sweet: without even a damage system, the game lets its laidback puzzles shine, offering up a serene and relaxing experience that players shouldn’t miss.

NXpress Nintendo Podcast 121: Our Favorite Nintendo Characters From 2017
Wednesday Jan 10, 2018
Wednesday Jan 10, 2018
2018 has arrived, but we're not quite done looking back at the previous year's plethora of amazing games. This week Rick, Tim, and Patrick give their takes on Goomba Stomp's recent list of the Best New Nintendo Characters, and though it's heavy on Zelda folk (and mistakenly light on narcissistic Rabbids), there were plenty of other fine additions to the stable. Of course, they don't necessarily agree on all of the choices, but with fish people and bird men on the menu, they do acknowledge that most of them would make for delicious meals.
Before that the guys catch up on what games from last year they're finally getting to, as well as a couple of Indies that will hit the switch soon. Along the way they also talk Homeric references in Super Mario Odyssey, and decide whether The Rock or Arnold Schwarzenegger would make a better company president. It gets a little weird, but for all that and loads more, have a listen!

If Switch owners haven't spent the last two weeks crushing Chain Chomps with a possessed Tyrannosaur, partying old-school style in New Donk City, and saving a village populated by living cutlery, then they've been doing it wrong. Super Mario Odyssey has taken the Nintendo world by storm, a glorious celebration of all things colorful and mustachioed. Rick, Tim, and Patrick have finally all had the chance to play through the main game (and more), and for their final review (with SPOILERS) they are rejoined by Goomba Stomp writer Tyler Kelbaugh to try to put the zaniness into words. Along the way, they discuss their favorite possessions, biggest disappointments, video game stories, and...marriage? This is a big one, folks.
Before that, the guys talk Xenoblade. Nintendo recently dropped a Direct focusing on Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but did the new footage and info sell us on this epic adventure, or cause complete confusion as to the complexity of the combat?
For all this and more, be sure to have a listen, and pay careful attention for how to participate in the NXpress Podcast's first giveaway!
