BoxTrick Ep. 112 – Destiny 1 Nostalgia & Breaking Down the Latest Nintendo Direct

·1 hr 13 min·2 clips

After about six weeks of grinding strikes, The Last Word dropped in a random Friday-morning Crucible match.

1. BoxTrick Ep. 112 splits its time between a Nintendo Direct partner showcase breakdown and a nostalgic look back at Destiny 1. 2. Matt, who goes online as Super Gains Bros Joint, hosts with Kyle, and both describe themselves as Nintendo shareholders and Metroid and Destiny fans. 3. The central claim is that Destiny 1 was one host's "favorite game ever," and that he would relive it above any other gaming moment. 4. Early in the episode, they cover pickups including Bushido Blade 2 on PS1, a $40 Bluetooth JC 400 Switch Pro controller versus the roughly $150 Nitro Deck, and a Legion Go running Steam OS, where cloud saves and quick resume stand out. 5. They also cover Madden 26 on Switch 2, which one host calls sluggish online in Ultimate Team, and Octopath Traveler 0, which he re-bought digitally after learning there was no upgrade path. 6. On Metroid Prime 4, one host played six or seven hours and says it "felt less metroidy and more halo-y," while both question the desert section and an amiibo unlocking music. 7. The Nintendo Direct segment covers Orbitals, Tokyo Scramble, Turok, Hollow Knight on Switch 2, Final Fantasy Rebirth, Indiana Jones on cartridge, and WWE 2K26's Monday Night Wars theme, with a concern about the thin WCW roster. 8. In the Destiny section, one host tallies 70 days and six hours on Xbox plus 38 days and two hours on PS4, and says he needs only a flawless raid for the Guardian Lord platinum. 9. He describes playing about 14 hours a day in the summer of 2015, grouping with friends in England, finishing in the top five percent of Crucible Control, and grinding strikes for six weeks until The Last Word dropped. 10. Fans of Destiny 1, Nintendo news, and handheld PC gaming will enjoy this.
