AI Can Now Make Games & Nintendo Breaks All-Time Sales Records

Описание: This week in gaming news is dominated by major shifts in technology and hardware, with Google unveiling new AI tools capable of generating playable 3D game worlds in seconds and Nintendo officially confirming the Nintendo Switch as the company’s best-selling console of all time, surpassing the Nintendo DS while the Nintendo Switch 2 continues its record-breaking momentum. We discuss what AI projects like Project Genie could mean for the future of game development, creativity, and production, and how Nintendo’s sales milestones shape expectations for the next phase of its hardware strategy.

Beyond those headline stories, we cover a range of additional topics including new Pokémon updates ahead of the franchise’s upcoming Pokémon Direct, insights into the origins of Ultra Beasts from Pokémon Sun and Moon following comments from designer Yusuke Ohmura, and how those strange designs were influenced by rejected concepts and creative frustration. We also talk about a fan-made Elden Ring mod that replaces Radahn, Godfrey, and Malenia with One Piece characters, reports of IKEA paying real employees inside Roblox, discussion around the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 movie concept and why it may have worked better as a long-form series, and the closure of UK retailer GAME as another sign of how physical game retail continues to evolve.

This episode is part of the Remco and Tycho Show, our weekly Nintendo podcast where we dive into Nintendo news, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 news, and broader gaming industry developments. If you’re looking for a Nintendo news podcast that focuses on context, discussion, and where the industry is heading rather than just headlines, this episode fits right into that conversation.


👥 We are Remco and Tycho, born and raised in Amsterdam, lifelong friends hosting the weekly NintenDUO Podcast — a Nintendo podcast where we dive into the latest Nintendo news, Nintendo Directs, Nintendo Switch 2 rumors, Smash Bros battles, Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, indie games, and more. We’ve been playing Smash Bros competitively since 1999 (Tycho insists Dr. Mario is better than Ganondorf, Remco strongly disagrees). With decades of Nintendo history behind us and a casual living-room setup (cats included), our conversations are unscripted, authentic, and full of laughs — kind of like a Nintendo Direct, except with worse lighting and better jokes.
