Infendo Radio returned with Episode 828, a primarily audio release the hosts described as a "lost" YouTube episode after a short publishing hiccup.
The episode mixes retro appreciation and modern platform talk, with segments on the Zelda 40th anniversary, Nintendo Switch hardware availability, pre-order formats for major upcoming releases, and hands-on time with classic and indie titles.
Hosts opened by noting the ongoing 40th anniversary for The Legend of Zelda franchise.
The original The Legend of Zelda debuted in Japan on February 21, 1986, a milestone that the series and its community have marked throughout the anniversary year.
The conversation then turned to Nintendo Switch availability — the console originally launched on March 3, 2017 — where hosts urged listeners to avoid paying inflated reseller prices and to watch official retailer and eShop listings for legitimate restocks.
On pre-orders, the episode explored whether consumers prefer physical "code in box" releases or premium collector editions versus digital purchases.
The hosts framed the discussion around consumer choice and how retailers are handling pre-order inventory rather than presenting new release dates or announcements.
A recurring show feature, Nintentunes, tested the hosts' knowledge of classic Nintendo music tracks.
In the "Change the System" segment, host Justin detailed his time with a Castlevania demo, reported playing Grand Theft Auto IV on a Steam Deck (Valve's handheld PC released in 2022), and revisited Denki Blocks, an established puzzle title from developer Denki.
Brandon described outdoor fall activities and retro film viewing, while Eugene continued coverage of indie projects and home-hardware tinkering.
The hosts also reminded listeners to participate in local elections and promoted the podcast's distribution: Infendo Radio streams on Twitch, maintains a YouTube channel, and offers an audio feed through iTunes and common podcast RSS methods.
Episode 828 runs approximately 53 minutes and is available for download or streaming from the show's feed.
For Nintendo-focused coverage, the episode blends historical context (Zelda's 1986 release), platform perspective (Switch and Steam Deck), and community-facing topics like pre-order preferences and retro gaming appreciation.
Listeners seeking a mix of commentary and hands-on impressions will find Episode 828 consistent with Infendo Radio's long-running focus on Nintendo and gaming culture.
