  • What if Video Games Stopped Receiving Patches? (with Nic McConnell)

    What if Video Games Stopped Receiving Patches? (with Nic McConnell)
    Nov 12 2025

    On a recent episode of Darren Hupke's podcast Pixels and Polygons (linked here), friend of the show Nic McConnell shared a "hot take" about video game patches. We'll let Nic share the nuances of his take in the show itself, but he was essentially expressing that he thought video games should not be patched as often as they are. We thought this was an intriguing idea worth unpacking even further—and one that was perhaps not quite as controversial as it was initially presented.


    What is gained and lost when players can no longer access the original version of a game? Do we miss the jank found in many retro games, that today can get ironed out as soon as its discovered? And what does this all mean for Kirby? Join us for a patch-perfect episode of Kirby Conversations all about patches, updates, and version histories.

  • How Kirby: Triple Deluxe Embraced the Creativity of the 3DS

    How Kirby: Triple Deluxe Embraced the Creativity of the 3DS
    Nov 5 2025

    2014's Kirby: Triple Deluxe marked Kirby's debut on the 3DS. Combining Kirby's familiar 2D platforming with 3D effects, motion controls, and other functionalities of the 3DS, it's a true product of the quirky, experimental energy of early 2010's Nintendo. Gigi is our host today, and with Sean and Bridget, we're looking back at what made Triple Deluxe special. We explore its history, share trivia, and remember its particular connections with MiiVerse and StreetPass. And, of course, we also speculate on whether Taranza would join Air Riders–which we now know is a resounding yes!

  • Roll Claying Game: Rainbow Curse and the Wii U in 2025 (with Nic McConnell)

    Roll Claying Game: Rainbow Curse and the Wii U in 2025 (with Nic McConnell)
    Oct 8 2025
    With innovative controls, a unique claymation aesthetic, an outstanding soundtrack, and a surprising mix of charm and challenge, 2015's Kirby and the Rainbow Curse still offers so much to enjoy ten years later. So why is it one of Kirby's most polarizing games? Canvas Curse fan Nic McConnell returns to Kirby Conversations to discuss the game, which he and Sean have been playing for the first time. And Gigi, already familiar with the game, is here to offer her takes as well. They also reflect on the general experience of playing the Wii U again in 2025, look up director Kazushige Masuda on Facebook, and consider the game's unusual connections with...Donkey Kong Bananza?
