Patrick and Mark react to all the announcements from today's Nintendo Direct, from the official reveal of Metroid Ravenous to Kirby going full open-world in Kirby and the World Beyond. Plus, Capcom continues to show up big with Monster Hunter Wilds, Mega Man, and Resident Evil. Atlus shows up big with Persona and Persona. And any reports of Amiibo's death are greatly exaggerated.

Lordy lordy, look who's 40! Nintendo threw Hyrule a birthday party, and Patrick and Mark react to everything from the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct: a deep look at the reborn Ocarina of Time for Switch 2, a worldwide concert series, the Zelda movie's title, and more.

The predictions? Mild and Wild. The stakes? A trademark NCS Million Dollar Bet. The subject: a September 2026 Nintendo Direct. What do Patrick and Mark expect to see at Nintendo's next Switch 2 presentation? Sure, Nintendo hasn't officially confirmed a Direct for September, but they wouldn't leave the guys hanging like that... would they?

Patrick is joined by Jeremy Schmidt (Video Games A Comedy Show) to trace how a leak about Just Dance led to Ubisoft possibly leak the date of the next Nintendo Direct. OR DID IT? Plus, Jeremy can't stop playing Xenoblade and Patrick can't stop playing Splatoon.

The guys also talk about:

Final Fantasy VII Revelation being overexposed in games showcases.
Capcom has another banger on their hands with Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
When will Zelda ever feel like the old Zelda again?
A Sonic Mania sequel not being in the works (even though it should be).
New Switch 2 bundles offering deceptive savings.
A late-in-life update for Pikmin 3 Deluxe on Switch 2.
Is Mega Man: Dual Override new enough to stand out or is it retreading old territory?
