After two years, ongoing support for Splatoon 3 is winding down in style by way of its recent Grand Festival event. I've invited my good friend, Cheezy, onto the show to chat about the Grand Festival itself, to celebrate Splatoon, as well as speculate on the future of the franchise. Plus - early impressions of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, recent indie highlights and some fun new stories!

Koopa Troopa Beach - Hyper Potions

In the maiden voyage of The Koopa Cast, we chat about the origin stories of both the podcast itself and its host. We chat with independent developer Antonio "Fáyer" Uribe about his game Arco - the organic nature of the game's development, the consideration paid to every element of the game and why you should give one of the most slept on games of 2024 a try. Plus, early thoughts on Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club and a few news items!
