The Pure Nintendo Podcast returned this week with hosts Jemma and Kirk guiding listeners through a Halloween-themed episode that blends spooky game recommendations, industry news, and personal play reports.
The show touches on classic and contemporary horror — from Capcom’s Resident Evil franchise, which debuted on PlayStation in 1996, to Bloober Team’s psychological horror Layers of Fear, first released in 2016 — and closes with a seasonal sign-off for listeners.
In journalistic terms, Jemma and Kirk said they curated a list of scary-game picks spanning survival horror and atmospheric exploration, citing Resident Evil and Layers of Fear as standout examples for the spooky season.
They also reviewed recent headlines, noting reports that suggested forthcoming 'Switch 2' editions of Hitman (developed by IO Interactive) and Tomb Raider (the franchise originally launched by Core Design in 1996 and rebooted by Crystal Dynamics in 2013) were part of current industry conversations.
The hosts discussed new Game Boy additions to Nintendo Switch Online, describing how Nintendo continues to expand classic libraries on the service.
Nintendo Switch Online and the Nintendo eShop remain central distribution and subscription platforms for digital releases and retro collections on the Nintendo Switch, a hybrid console first released on March 3, 2017.
Kirk’s Corner highlighted Arizona Sunshine, the VR zombie shooter from Vertigo Games released in 2016, with Kirk noting a lighthearted anecdote about a canine companion named Buddy that figures into his play experience.
The episode also covered what the hosts are playing now, including Final Fantasy Resonance, Ratatan, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and Steins;Gate: Reboot, framed as personal recommendations rather than formal reviews.
Listeners can find the Pure Nintendo Podcast on YouTube and major audio platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.
The show’s creators also invite support through their print magazine subscription and reference a Boomerang Tier for Australian subscribers; local Brisbane readers are directed to physical copies available at Comic Book Cafe and Netherworld.
The episode combines timely news reporting with curated recommendations, making it a useful listen for Nintendo-focused audiences keeping tabs on platform libraries, retro service updates, and seasonal game picks.
