Pure Nintendo Podcast Launches New Season, Discusses Nintendo Switch 2 Prospects

The Pure Nintendo Podcast has launched its latest season, bringing back hosts Jemma, Kirk, Trev, and Justin for an in-depth look at what's ahead for Nintendo in 2026.

As one of the leading sources for Nintendo-centric news and analysis, the Pure Nintendo Podcast continues to engage dedicated fans and industry professionals with well-informed discussions and projections.

Building on a successful prior episode where the team reviewed the standout Nintendo titles of 2025, this week’s show shifts focus to the future.

As the gaming industry enters the first full year of the Nintendo Switch 2—a much-anticipated hardware successor—excitement is high among both players and industry observers.

During the episode, the hosts assessed possible developments for Nintendo next year, discussing topics such as the potential for new releases from renowned developer Monolith Soft, fresh downloadable content for the enduringly popular Mario Kart series, and the likelihood of a brand-new 3D Mario game.

They also highlighted significant anniversaries, noting that 2026 will mark 40 years since the debut of Samus Aran, the iconic protagonist of the Metroid series—a milestone that could inspire commemorative content or events.

While the podcast is known for its engaging and speculative tone, the hosts emphasized their ongoing commitment to covering verified news and delivering weekly insights into the rapidly evolving world of Nintendo.

“There is a lot for Nintendo fans to look forward to this coming year with the full introduction of the Switch 2,” the hosts explained, referencing heightened anticipation for upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations, eShop releases, and potential franchise developments.
