About NintendoFuse Podcast

NintendoFuse Podcast is a Nintendo conversation show recorded live on Twitch and YouTube. Barry, Greg and Steve are the regular voices. When Steve is away on work trips or out of town, Barry and Greg carry the episode as a pair. The numbered run is well into the hundreds. Its subject range shows in titles such as 'Switch 2 Sales Updates', 'Kirby Air Rides Again', 'Movies, Awards, & Discounts', 'The Game Awards 2025 Reactions' and 'Making Changes and Making Coin'. The business of Nintendo gets steady attention: sales figures through August 2025 that include Switch 2 numbers, a Nintendo financial report, and where game prices might head next. Announcements are the other anchor, from the second Kirby Direct from Sakurai to Game Awards news about games bound for Switch and Switch 2. The Kirby talk gets practical, weighing 16-player races and why a time attack mode helps players learn a course. Mario movie news is a favorite thread. One conversation moved from how Bowser Jr. might fit into the next film to whether a young child at home is ready to sit through it in a theater. That kind of drift is typical. A rundown of Nintendo Switch Online additions turned into a case for the service becoming a permanent, ever-growing library instead of a rotating one like a streaming app. Deal talk runs from Black Friday to a regular who buys pinball tables only when they fall to a couple of dollars. The live chat is part of the show, with comments read out by name and answered, and closings point toward a Discord community and social accounts. The humor is gentle. On MAR10 Day 2024, Greg's 'Wahoo' drew a joke that he had replaced Charles Martinet as the voice of Mario. That episode also brought back Hasan, introduced as the former host who started the podcast. Elsewhere, a regular laughs at an unfiltered dialogue feature in a game demo, where fans had Tom Nook and K.K. Slider trading absurd lines, and cheers Nintendo on if it leaves the feature alone. Late in 2025, several closings pointed ahead to a game-of-the-year episode and asked listeners to start thinking about their picks. Barry and Greg then came back for a bonus episode of Game Awards reactions, which included a showcase of games from women-led studios. Many episodes sign off with 'happy gaming', and the whole thing plays like the latest Nintendo news talked through by people who also buy and play the games.

Made for: Suits a listener who wants Nintendo sales figures, showcase announcements and Mario movie news talked through casually by a few familiar voices, and who might like to drop into a live chat while it happens.

What sets it apart: Episodes are recorded live with the chat read into the conversation, and the same small circle of regulars mixes personal habits into the news, from pinball bargains to Mario Day jokes, so it plays more like a hangout than a bulletin.
