Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete, the definitive version of the original 2017 mobile experience, emerges as the highlight of the week.

During the podcast, Jemma shared her firsthand experience with Donkey Kong Land III on the Nintendo Switch, highlighting how this nostalgic Game Boy title faithfully preserves its retro charm for modern audiences. The episode also ventures into the vibrant universe of video game music.

A recent search on the Nintendo Music app unearthed classic Donkey Kong soundtracks, notably from the SNES era, which remain popular among fans of video game music.

Additionally, the Splatoon 2 soundtrack was added to the service in recent days, adding to the excitement for subscribers. In other news, the show covers fresh merchandise announcements related to Balatro, and Kirk offers a glimpse of The Thing Remastered for Nintendo Switch.

This marks another entry in the growing list of retro remakes reviving beloved franchises on the Nintendo eShop.
