Christian and Jonah unpack why gaming conventions from PAX West to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. They swap cosplay horror stories, talk about meeting YouTubers and voice actors in person, and explain how conventions became the glue that keeps their high school friend group together. Then they veer into movies and TV: Batman hype, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Maul, Rick and Morty, and a long, honest debate about modern Spider-Man, Star Wars, God of War, and whether Hollywood is doing fandom justice.

We are back with a very exciting episode as we break down the latest Zelda Direct and Nintendo Direct. We talk about the emotional Zelda orchestra, the strange non-reveal of the Zelda movie, and why the Ocarina of Time remake finally feels like a true Switch 2 heavy hitter.

We also get into Metroid’s big 2D return, the frustrating Age of Calamity “definitive” edition pricing, Kirby’s open-world jump, and how Nintendo is quietly stacking the Switch 2 library while we look ahead to 3D Mario and Smash.

The Super Nintendo Bros kick off their return with a deep dive into the rumored September Nintendo Direct and what it could mean for Zelda, Mario, and more.

Christian and Jonah break down their hopes (and fears) for the Ocarina of Time remake on Switch 2, what “modernizing” Zelda should really look like, and whether Nintendo will finally deliver on long‑requested ports like Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD.

Plus: Mario LEGO in 2027, the Zelda movie casting chaos they fear, the GTA leaks, and plans for live streaming the upcoming State of Play and Nintendo Direct on the Super Nintendo Bros YouTube channel.
