We're covering two very different, yet very influential, games on this fresh episode of NintenGems! First we tackle Game of the Year 2023 nominee Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and discuss what it takes to keep a 2D platformer fresh in today's gaming landscape. Does Wonder bring enough wonder to keep us playing? Then, after years of nagging from Connor, Braydon finally played Metal Gear Solid, a genre-defining spectacle that we dissect from both a newcomer's and a veteran's perspective. Join us!

Pikmin 4, Final Fantasy IV
We took our sweet time with this episode, but we're back to celebrate the fourth entries into some beloved series! We kick off with Pikmin 4 and the new concepts it introduces after taking several years off from new releases (it may be worthwhile to listen to our previous Pikmin episodes). Braydon is seems pleased with its deliveries, but will it be enough to convince Connor to play it?
Meanwhile, Connor has spent intimate time with Final Fantasy 4, playing as originally intended on his SNES and CRT TV. He has a lot to say about the quality of retro gaming he seems to have been missing out on, and the amazing level of intention put into the game by the developers of the time. Join us FOUR an excellent episode!

Tears of the Kingdom
The time has finally come for a Goron-sized episode about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. As the highly anticipated sequel to the genre-defining Breath of the Wild, what wild cards could Nintendo possibly bring to the table? We discuss the game's new features and mechanics, how they mesh with the preexisting formula, the personal and cultural impacts of the game, and more. Join us on our most recent trip to Hyrule!
