On this week's Pure Nintendo Podcast, hosts Jemma and Kirk take listeners through hands-on impressions of Splatoon Raiders and a roundup of recent industry news.
The episode is available on YouTube and across major podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.
The hosts opened the show by focusing on Splatoon Raiders, sharing whether the new entry has delivered on Nintendo's multiplayer DNA.
In journalistic terms, Jemma and Kirk reported that they are actively playing the title and assessing its mechanics and presentation as part of Nintendo’s broader Splatoon franchise, which includes Splatoon (2015 on Wii U), Splatoon 2 (2017 on Nintendo Switch), and Splatoon 3 (2022 on Nintendo Switch).
Revisiting recent conversations, the hosts noted that last week’s episode examined reports about Octopath Traveler receiving new editions for rumored successor hardware to the Nintendo Switch.
This episode pivoted to consider whether Xenoblade Chronicles 2 might see a similar treatment.
For context, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was developed by Monolith Soft and released on Nintendo Switch on December 1, 2017; Octopath Traveler was developed by Square Enix (with Acquire) and released on July 13, 2018 for Nintendo Switch.
Beyond game coverage, the podcast offers a concise news segment.
Jemma and Kirk discussed June Star Fox sales figures covered by industry trackers, highlighted coverage from Gamescom in Germany, and noted a substantial upcoming physical release for Switch owners.
They also reacted to the latest Resident Evil trailer, calling the footage suspenseful and effective in building tension for fans of the franchise.
Listeners were reminded that Pure Nintendo publishes a physical magazine and that the latest issue is stocked locally in Brisbane at Comic Book Cafe and Netherworld.
The hosts encouraged support through subscriptions and introduced a new Boomerang Tier for Australian subscribers.
For readers and industry professionals tracking Nintendo coverage, the episode is a compact mix of hands-on impressions, platform history, and curated news — all hosted by commentators with long-standing ties to Nintendo coverage.
