Pining for Pixels # 124 - Rating the September 2025 Nintendo Direct

Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!

Nintendo finally had a big general direct! This is the first general direct that they have done since the Switch 2 was released. As a result it was over 60 minutess in length, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. as well as diving into a plethora of Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 games that are coming. As is usually the case with a Nintendo Direct, we got a healthy mix of anticipated announcements, shadow drops, some surprises, and one or 2 out of left field announcements! Since there was so much to discuss, I opted to make a full episode talking about it and the aftermath of the show. Tune in to hear my thoughts on the presentation, and what announcements I am most excited by.
