The latest episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast, hosted by Jemma, Kirk and Trev, dives into a string of Nintendo-centric topics from platformers to new mobile announcements.
The episode centers on the hosts' impressions of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, while also touching on Nintendo’s surprise mobile reveal Pictonico, the demo for the upcoming RPG Adventures of Elliot, and recent additions to Nintendo’s music offerings.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book earns praise for its presentation and level design.
In journalistic terms, the hosts described the platformer as a consistently charming experience that leans heavily on personality and visual appeal.
The episode places the title in the context of Nintendo’s broader platformer tradition on the Nintendo Switch, a console Nintendo launched worldwide on March 3, 2017, and which continues to host first-party series like Yoshi and Mario.
Nintendo’s unexpected announcement of Pictonico — a new mobile title slated for release at the end of May, according to the podcast — was discussed with cautious curiosity.
The hosts asked whether the game would capture their attention, reflecting on how Nintendo’s mobile initiatives have periodically complemented its core console efforts.
Nintendo’s direct-to-fan communications, such as Nintendo Direct presentations launched in 2011, remain a primary way the company surfaces new titles and platform updates.
The panel also shares hands-on impressions of the Adventures of Elliot demo.
The hosts said the demo demonstrates promising mechanics and a quaint visual style, calling it a “lovely-looking” RPG in their discussion.
Separately, they noted that the soundtrack to A Link Between Worlds has been added to Nintendo Music, an avenue that makes classic Nintendo audio more accessible to modern players.
In broader entertainment notes, the podcast flagged new Pac-Man short-form animation and news around a Broken Sword motion picture, items the hosts saw as positive signs for classic gaming IP crossing into other media.
They also highlighted community and regional activity: the latest Pure Nintendo Magazine issue is out, and the outlet will support the BPAC arcade and pinball showcase in Brisbane this June, featuring competitions such as Mario Kart 64 and GoldenEye.
Listeners can find the episode on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, and Amazon podcast platforms.
The Pure Nintendo Podcast continues to blend hands-on impressions, platform context, and community updates for an audience deeply engaged with Nintendo’s software and ecosystem.
