What’s with the latest Mario Kart World update? Pure Nintendo Podcast E119
This week on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, Jemma and Kirk delve into all things Nintendo, from the Bandai Namco showcase to the controversy around the latest Mario Kart World update.
Last week, we looked into the upcoming Nintendo title Drag x Drive. This week, we’ve got a TON of news to cover. We start with a look at the latest news from Bandai Namco, including news on Little Nightmares III and an enhanced version of Little Nightmares – and what that means for Switch 2 players. Plus, Shadow Labyrinth is coming soon, and it looks great! We discuss this interesting take on Pac-Man.
Mario’s in the news this week, with bouncy new tunes on Nintendo Music that Jemma just loves. Plus, Nintendo has revealed the teams behind both Donkey Kong Bananza and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour – it’s not surprising, but it’s nice to know who to thank, and what it could mean for the next 3D Mario game.
We also look into sports games on the Switch 2, with the announcement that WWE 2K25 is heading our way this month. It’s a coup for Nintendo and its fans since it’s been many years since this franchise was available on a Nintendo console. It opens up the conversation for a look at Madden and hockey titles – what will we see on the Switch 2 in the future?
Next up is the somewhat controversial topic of Mario Kart World’s latest update. It seems some online players are unhappy with the way Nintendo has changed the results of random selections in versus mode. We try our best to explain the situation and understand the issue, so let us know if this is something that’s affected you!
