Chrono Trigger turns 30! Pure Nintendo Podcast E103
This week on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, Jemma, Kirk, and Trev talk about anniversaries, mobile gaming, RPGs, visual novels, Switch 2, and much more.
Last week, we celebrated all things Mario for MAR10 day. This week, we delve into the upcoming Switch 2 Direct, discussing our hopes and expectations when it comes to first-party and third-party titles. What do we know so far? What is likely? What are our longshots?
We also discuss the latest news, including Chrono Trigger’s 30th anniversary – how exactly will Square be celebrating? Plus, Niantic has sold its gaming division, including Pokémon GO and Pikmin Bloom. What does this mean for players around the world? There’s also a new Nintendo Store coming to San Fransisco, and Star Wars: Hunters is shutting down on October 1st. Jemma is not impressed!
We also discuss the games we’re playing right now – are we experiencing a visual-novel Renaissance? – and Trev tries to convince us that Suikoden I&II is worth playing.
With over 100 episodes down, we’re excited about bringing you more Nintendo content over the coming months and years. There’s so much to look forward to in 2025 alone with the Switch 2 fast approaching, so tune in every Monday for the latest dose of all things Nintendo.
Until next time, game on everyone!
