Nintendo Powercast - Nintendo Podcast

Mario is one of the most recognizable characters in the world, but who is he really?

Tonight on the Nintendo PowerCast, we’re exploring Mario’s history, personality, career, relationships, and how a simple arcade character became the face of Nintendo and the biggest icon in video games.

From Jumpman and the original Donkey Kong to Super Mario Bros., Mario 64, the Mushroom Kingdom, and the modern era, we’re breaking down what makes Mario more than just Nintendo’s mascot.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa recently talked about how Nintendo views preserving its history and connecting players with classic games through Nintendo Switch Online. With the Nintendo Museum now giving fans a physical way to experience Nintendo’s past, and Switch Online continuing to expand with NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, and now GameCube games on Switch 2, Nintendo seems focused on subscriptions as the main path forward for its classic library.

Furukawa also said Nintendo wants to keep exploring a “variety of possibilities” when it comes to giving players access to games from the past. Tonight we’re talking about what that actually means, whether Switch Online is enough, why fans still miss Virtual Console, and what Nintendo needs to do next to make its classic game strategy feel complete.
