Nintendo Week Talks Paper Mario, SNES Virtual Console, Beyond Good & Evil 2 on NX, and Tons More

There are tons of gaming enthusiast podcasts out in the wild, but almost none of the top-tier podcasts are made specifically for Nintendo fans. That’s where we come in! We here at Gamnesia are bringing you a new episode of “Nintendo Week,” a podcast made for Nintendo fans by Nintendo fans.

Join the Nintendo Week crew as Alex, Ben, and Colin discuss the latest Nintendo Direct from beginning to end, covering
Paper Mario: Color Splash, Kirby: Planet Robobot, SNES games on the New Nintendo 3DS, and tons upon tons more news. Then we dig into a few stories that came out this week, including the discovery of Twilight Princess Picross and a rumor Destructoid published that Nintendo is funding Beyond Good & Evil 2 as an NX exclusive. You can check out the episode below—or if you’d like to save it to listen later, you can check the latest episode out on iTunes, available now.
