Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is Finally Here | Punching Up: A Nintendo Podcast, Episode 1

Welcome to Punching Up, a brand new Nintendo podcast from Last Stand Media! I (Dustin) am so excited to be doing this new show with an awesome lineup of co-hosts, including Gene Park, Dagan Moriarty, and Mama Micah! In our inaugural episode, we lay out what this show is all about, along with how it stays true to the Last Stand Media style while charting its own path. So, once all of the celebratory opening is done, we dive right into it. The Switch is dominating, having now become the third-best-selling home console of all time. However, with that success, there are rumors of what's on the horizon. Additionally, Nintendo is doing a totally new type of event for the US with Nintendo Live, taking place in the fall in Seattle. Finally, we dive into the game on everyone's mind right now, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This title has set the world on fire, dominating the conversation both online and off. It's an exciting time to be a Nintendo fan, and that's why we knew we had to do this show. So, join us on this new adventure! We hope you love it.

My body is ready.

Eric

About god damn time! Hell yes!

Nikitas Gagas

Annoyed with work and a great, big smile formed on my face when I saw this. So happy you guys are doing this. Thank you!

Max Davis

Gene Dagan and Micah on the same podcast EVERY TWO WEEKS? Colin you’re spoiling us

Tyran Batten

It really doesn't matter at all, I just wanted to mention that IGN's Nintendo Voice Chat podcast calls their reader mail the "Question Block".

JayLou83

Congrats on the new show. I can’t wait for the Apple Arcade podcast 😂 😂 😂 .

I want that logo on a shirt!

This is so exciting!

Michael Miller

What a lineup! I wasn’t expecting this at all.

Cun

15 is for the boys

Michael Miller

LSM getting Gene >>> Jets getting Aaron Rodgers

Alex Gould

You did it. The crazy son of a bitch you did it.

Walker Simmons

I'm not even a big Nintendo fan but I'll be listening to every episode because of the cast. GENE 💦

Alex Watson

Whoa this rules. The perfect cast

Germanos

Is it only me or is Micah's camera really strange set up ;/ The microphone is either too near the cam or it is actually enormous OR Micah's head is really tiny ;P

Adam Barnes

Well, fuck. Here we go boys

Jarett Burke

Yup. I'm in. Big time.

OTTAPPS

SNES all the way 🇬🇧

Robbie Cooper

I canceled my membership, I won’t support Nintendo

Alex Gates

Loved the show! You all did a fantastic job. It’s crazy that after just one episode, it feels like a show that has been going for a while. Very excited for this!

drew

Great Logo

DB Cooper

First episode of anything Last Stand I've completed in a while! That's not a reflection on the brand or quality (obviously since I still contribute and enjoy all you guys do), but more so the length and ability to finish it while at work. It was great, looking forward to what's next! Now to finish SS from last week, ha!

Brannon H

Great first episode!

TL

I haven’t been a Nintendo gamer for years, so I’m unsure how plugged in I will be to this show, but great job with the intro, watching/listening now.

Really excited to have Dagans opening segments back

Matt Soucy

This is awesome. Honestly more Dagan is always a good thing!

Timothy

Shoutout to Dagan. Such a cool dude.

Quinn

(Insert that GIF with a zoom in on Robert Redford as he slowly nods)

Interesting. Nintendo seems to have generally less news then Xbox and Playstation so I always found them to be less intriguing to follow but I like Micah and Dagan so I'll listen. The Dukes should have Micah on by the way.

Daidoji Reiji

Unsure if this was intended or not, but the four cameras mimic the old 4player couch coop look in games like Mario Kart 64 and Star Fox 64. Nice nod!

I am so excited for this and for all of you to have this show. Can't wait to dig in to the Nintendo content!

Watching Dustin host both warms & fills my heart

I love Nintendo thank you for a Nintendo show! The cast is great, but right off the back of the opening segment , question block is an ign segment on their Nintendo podcast. I don’t listen to that podcast anymore so I’m not sure if they even call it that nowadays.

Cliff Boyd

Yes!! What a great surprise to see this pop up on my evening walk. And an AMAZING line up of hosts.

Cliff Boyd

And genius to debut with a Tears of the Kingdom episode. Perfect timing.

Joseph Baker

Last Stand Media is the place to be for your podcasting needs! I'm so excited for this.

Loved it! I was hoping as Dustin was reading the ending credits that he would say "All Last Stand's theme music is by (MY BEST FRIEND) Ramon..." Lol! Great stuff everyone. Micah's enthusiasm and excitement for the show was my favorite part. You're all so genuine. Thanks for all you do.

Pyo

what a insane W, first the podcast then the legend Gene too. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Outstanding outstanding addition to the LSM family. Long have I wanted a Nintendo pod, and am so glad you have delivered. Every knockback when Dagan and Colin would touch a Nintendo classic just made this something more longed for, and this didn't let down Cannot wait for this to be there every fortnight on my rotation.

Tyler Kaminski

Great job hosting Dustin, and good job to the others as well. I am very excited to see the future of this show. I hope if it goes well, we can get to a weekly cadence, but I will certainly be happy with bi weekly for now. Looking forward to the future!

Keith Huntington

even though i'm 10 years his senior, i think dustin and i could have a great conversation about music after he name dropped emery and relient k. 😊😊 i saw emery twice on their first national tour (tooth and nail tour 04) and it was fun how the first time no one knew who they were, and then saw it again 4 weeks later and everyone knew every word to walls and the kids just went bananas. that was a wild moment that will always stick out to me of being able to see, in real time, how "big" a band could get just because of word of mouth during 1 tour.

Ryan Caulfield

I'm so happy that 100% of the feedback is positive about Gene coming to LSM.

Jack Fining

All positive feedback I had for this show was overshadowed by me wanting to say that Micah saying "It's pronounced 'quiche'" had me rolling with laughter, drawing a lot of eyes at work. But great cast and great show, guys! Excited to see more!

Peter Thompson

the anime games fake names segment is amazing! Had me laughing to myself at the office

SweetBabyRay

Amazing cast and amazing first episode. Super excited for the future of this show!

This was a great podcast! Fairly new patron of a few months, first time commenter here. I agree with Dustin that the Zelda release felt like an event. I picked up a copy at Best Buy Friday morning and was surprised to see such a long line. It added to the excitement, I love that community feeling!

Jesse V

I will echo any sentiments about quizzes and other similar things. I understand Dagan loves them, but they are not the best to listen to. Even when Colin did a topic on Constellation about team logos - I literally stopped the podcast a minute into the topic. And I hate doing that, but I did it. Just some friendly feedback!

Wonderful Podcast, so much fun.

They are a Podcast Collective.

The Third piece LSM now has a complete Tri-force of shows, Sony, Nintendo, and Xbox. Awesome show

Jordan Moyer

This show is awesome. Maybe my new favorite. That trivia was incredible. Time to eat! Chef's a big boy!

Loved it, great episode!

Gooch Gobbler

Wow Dustin, never thought I'd see an Emery reference. Super underrated band, love them

jettxjordan

LETS GO!!! Perfect panel.

Marco Maluf

Congratulations for the new show, this is amazing cast, now covering all three consoles, pc master race now? (j/k) looking forward for new episodes.

Jeremy Seal

I could imagine an Oceans 11 style heist to steal Tears of the Kingdom early.
