In this jam-packed episode of Blowing Cartridges, special guests Josh, Chase, Alex, and Gookanheimer join Zach and Brendan to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane as they explore the history of Nintendo connection tours in Australia. From the prize-filled and goodies rich roadshows of the 2000s, the expanded crew shares their personal experiences and favorite memories of these iconic events.
The conversation then shifts to the present as they dive into Nintendo Live Australia 2024, held in Sydney this past September. They break down the highlights (queues and statues) and the lowlights (queues) of the event, reflecting on how the current landscape of one off events and larger conventions such as PAX compare to the pre 2011 era of Nintendo Connection tours.
