What’s good, spider balls and morph balls! It’s bonus time! We had so much to talk about in NEP 026 that we made it double the length! We’ll also be doing an EXTRA episode during the week: a spoilercast for Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon: Every Buddy!

In this episode of NEP, we discuss Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Thieves, the controversy of Persona 5 not being announced for Switch and the community’s negative reaction. This leads us to talk about reality vs expectation, vocal gaming culture and how some gamers handle disappointment. We then lighten things up by talking about Super Mario Maker 2’s upcoming release, Nintendo’s financial briefing (including Pokemon and E3 details), and some more information about Nintendo and Tencent Holdings partnership to break into the Chinese market with the release of Nintendo Switch. And even more!

We hope you enjoy the extra effort this week! As ever, we would appreciate your help in growing the show by sharing the podcast with a friend!
Thanks for listening!

A new store ad for Super Mario Maker 2 has emerged from Japan. It may seem innocuous on the surface, but it appears to hold a number of interesting tidbits.

Folks over on the Super Mario Maker 2 are speculating about what’s been shown, including new items such as Meowser from Super Mario 3D World and a Super Mario Bros. 1 jungle theme.

It took Nintendo a couple of months, but we finally found out when Super Mario Maker 2 will be launching this week. While a June launch had been previously confirmed, a specific date was not announced. We now know that it’ll be available worldwide on June 28.

In light of this week’s news, the official website has updated. The Wii U and 3DS versions of Super Mario Maker have been pushed away, and it has now become a teaser site for Super Mario Maker 2. You can access the page here. There isn’t much to see much at present aside from a trailer and old screenshots, but the site will undoubtedly update with a bunch of content soon.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Nintendo has announced that, in Europe, the Super Mario Maker 2 Limited Edition bundle will be sold for a limited time. Copies include the game and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Onlne membership. Additionally, a special Super Mario Maker 2-themed Switch stylus will be available at select retailers as a bonus for players who buy the game at launch.

Pre-orders will also be going live on the eShop in the near future, offering the standard game or a digital bundle including the game and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online membership. Players who pre-order the bundle digitally will also be eligible to receive a stylus.

Nintendo has finally set a release date for Super Mario Maker 2. The game will launch on June 28, the company just revealed.

Super Mario Maker 2 was unveiled during the last Nintendo Direct in February. At the time, Nintendo only confirmed that it would release sometime in June.

Here’s today’s full announcement:

The official Nintendo UK online store is offering a special deal for Super Mario Maker 2. If you pre-order the game at the store, you get a special Mario Maker-themed drawing pad and pencil set for free. There’s also a second bundle available, which comes with the game and a diorama set; however, that one costs £59.99. The diorama is also available to purchase separately.

We don’t have a concrete release date for Super Mario Maker 2 yet; we only know it’ll be released sometime in June.

Hello, my lovely Hylians!

This week on NEP, we’ve got a special episode: a bonus feature with twice the content!
A Nintendo Direct dropped just the other day, so we’re breaking down each release in the North American AND Japanese presentations with supplemental information and our added commentary. Galen gets analytical, Oni gets cultural; come hang out with us!

Also, we can’t figure out why Kingdom Hearts keeps on coming up during this episode. Is it fate? Like, is any of this for real… or not?
