🎮 Nintendo Therapy Episode 144 – The Haunted Hotel & Card Battles Galore!

This week on Nintendo Therapy, we’re diving into haunted mansions, island makeovers, and classic Game Boy nostalgia! 👻✨

Kevin and Harrison return to talk about Luigi’s Mansion 3 — why it’s still one of the best games on the Switch six years later, how it perfectly balances puzzles and atmosphere, and what they’d love to see in the next entry of Luigi’s ghost-hunting adventures.

Then, we break down the brand-new Animal Crossing: New Horizons update for Switch 2! From LEGO and Zelda collabs to hotel decorating, Slumber Islands, and the long-awaited bulk crafting feature, there’s a ton to love — but does this mean the next Animal Crossing game is farther away than we thought?

Kevin also shares his thoughts on Nintendo’s quiet period and why the fan rumor mill is spinning out of control. (Metroid Prime 4 next month? Probably not...)

Finally, we shine a nostalgic spotlight on the Pokémon Trading Card Game for Game Boy Color — the original digital TCG adventure that turned deck-building into a full-blown RPG experience. It’s still one of the most charming and underrated Pokémon spin-offs ever made.

Plus, a new round of Guess That Villain! and a quick shoutout to the rest of the Sidepanel Network — check out Harrison Talks Pod for more great shows, with more projects coming soon!
