Customer Reviews
Hoping to grab a pint with Bally & NBZ some day
I am certain I left a review for this superb show last year, but iTunes seems to suggest otherwise. This feedback is long overdue. These brits generate hours of audible candy, ripe with reviews, predictions, insights, and recommendations surrounding the world of Nintendo. From the American perspective, their accents create a refined buttoned-up delivery of all things Nintendo, until NBZ goes off of the rails in his efforts to convince his co-host Bally that he is wrong when expressing a counterpoint. This is where the profanity kicks in, and it’s these moments of authenticity where the podcast truly shines, as they demonstrate the excellent chemistry shared between these lifelong friends. This is not a run-of-the-mill video game podcast series. These guys are enthusiasts who bring perspective to the table. Yes, they’re Nintendo fan boys, but they openly discuss industry trends and complete games that exist on other non-Nintendo platforms, which assures the listener that their impressions do not grow from a narrow-minded point of view. Furthermore, they are open about their favorite sources of information, and they constantly offer up praise to the other podcasts or journalists that inspire their creativity. Admittedly, I did not tune in to This Nintendo Life until probably somewhere around episode 150. For years, I frequently picked up and dropped podcasts dedicated to Nintendo coverage. Every other Nintendo podcast, whether it was the Nintendo Power Podcast, IGN’s Nintendo Voice Chat, or even the highly praised Radio Free Nintendo left me feeling as if I was making compromises just to gain access to topics and discussion around this brand that I’ve dedicated way too much of my life following. Like with practically all things Nintendo, too many other Nintendo podcasts are put through this filter of being too…fake? It’s like a sense of forced joy or enthusiasm, as if the production is shackled to the idea that Nintendo cannot be critiqued too harshly, or that the production itself has to be kid friendly. This Nintendo Life doesn’t subscribe to this philosophy, and they’re the top Nintendo podcast because of it. Their show is honest, just two friends chatting about their passion, but its delivered in a package that upholds the standards of professionalism. Cheers to you both. Justin from USA
Great Podcast for Long Commutes!
This show makes for an amazing long form listen if you have a long commute or drive a lot for work/school. However the hosts also break the show up into more digestible segments if you prefer to listen over a non continuous stretch of time. If you like Nintendo products examined through the lens of people who have grown up with Nintendo, but also play many non Nintendo games as well, and judge the games they play based on their merit and not preconceived bias(except about Super Mario Sunshine) you could not do better than This Nintendo Life!
Fantastic Podcast
I have enjoyed listening to both Nbz and Bally discuss Nintendo and video games. I particularly like the fact that they cover and discuss older games in addition to current games. The format is well-organized, and the chemistry between Nbz and Bally and their perspectives are great. I can’t say enough good things about the podcast, thanks so much for providing quality content!
