Infendo Radio’s Episode 823 delivered a broad roundup of recent Nintendo-related developments and industry-adjacent topics.
The long-running Nintendo-focused podcast covered reported platform upgrades, Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) catalogue additions, and media tie-ins for one of Nintendo’s largest franchises.
Hosts Justin, Brandon, and Eugene discussed community reactions and technical experiments across platforms such as the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Online service, and Valve’s Steam Deck.
The hosts opened by framing the show as an especially large installment, noting they would address a high volume of items across Nintendo news and broader gaming culture.
In journalistic terms: the panel described the episode as a comprehensive briefing on multiple active stories affecting Nintendo players and platform owners.
A central segment of the episode focused on reports that future hardware or software updates tied to a so-called 'Switch 2' could include free visual upgrades and expanded split-screen functionality for current Switch titles.
The hosts emphasized these were topics under discussion in the community and press, and they examined what such changes would mean for legacy Switch 1 games and multiplayer experiences such as Mario Kart.
The panel framed the conversation around compatibility and how enhancements might be delivered, whether via a Nintendo Direct-style announcement or eShop updates.
Infendo also reviewed reported additions to Nintendo Switch Online.
The hosts cited recently discussed entries like Ninja Gaiden 3 and RC Pro-Am 2 as examples of titles circulating in discussions about NSO catalog expansions, and they explained how such additions fit Nintendo’s ongoing strategy for retro and legacy game access through paid online services.
Another item the show covered was a reported Pokémon Trading Card Game movie dubbed "Pokémon Wildcard." The hosts summarized the storylines and fan questions while clarifying they were relaying reported information and not announcing an official Nintendo or Pokémon Company press release.
Beyond Nintendo-specific topics, the episode included tech and playthrough segments.
Justin outlined extensive modding work on a Steam Deck, including visual tweaks and controller input adjustments.
Brandon shared impressions of an action-adventure title he rated 7/10, praising traversal and story while calling combat middling.
Eugene reported progress on a major boss in Deltarune Chapter 4 and discussed community creativity such as 3D-printed fan projects.
