This week on Podcasting With Power, we’re diving into Nintendo’s long history with sports games, from the all-time classics to modern experiments! Fresh off the launch of Mario Tennis Fever, we ask the big question: does Nintendo still have its sports magic? We break down what has worked, what hasn’t, and what it might take to win us back.

We also react to the latest Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and rapidfire through all of the stories we missed while Zachary was sick. Plus, we look at early impressions of Pokopia, and round up reviews for Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass, Reanimal, and Mario Tennis Fever!
