Episode 815 recap (rewritten for clarity)
- Infendo Radio began Episode 815 by saying the show was “locked and loaded” and proceeded to analyze a Splatoon Raiders Direct, breaking down details the hosts felt were relevant to players and to Nintendo’s hardware plans.
- The hosts relayed a rumor-driven discussion that recent reporting and leaks have connected to EU regulatory proposals — specifically, the possibility that regulation-driven design changes could encourage removable batteries or different display components in future handheld hardware.
The podcast framed these as circulating rumors and discussed their potential implications for Nintendo hardware design.
- The episode reported that collectible manufacturer First 4 Figures announced an 18-inch Elephant Mario statue, with the hosts noting the announced price that positions the piece as a premium collectible.
- In the “Change the System” segment, host Brandon described playing and testing Star Fox and Meccha Cameleon while preparing legacy hardware; Eugene shared impressions from Mina The Hollower and revisited Star Fox while reflecting on broader platform and PC ambitions.
