Grading Nintendo's First Quarter of 2024

Brian kicks off the show this week on All Things Nintendo by announcing the free Patreon page for All Things Nintendo and answering a listener question about reviewing games. Then, he is joined by Senior Editor at TheDirect.com and the host of Reckless Rebellion and Controller Club, Klein Felt. After doing First Nintendo Game/Favorite Nintendo Game, the two dive into the news before handing out grades for Nintendo's first quarter of 2024. And since TheDirect.com covers a lot of superhero media, this week's Definitive Ranking is all about the best superhero games of all time.
