Turtle Jump Podcast

Welcome to Turtle Jump, the video game podcast of your heart and ours! We talk games, industry news, and in depth discussions of hot topics in gaming. In this episode we put on our speculation hats and rouse up some theories about how Nintendo might use amiibo, their new NFC-enabled figurine line set to launch in the fall. We know that Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Mario Kart 8, Captain Toad, and many more titles will take advantage of the figures, and 3DS support will not be far behind. How else might Nintendo exploit the potential of this new product? We offer our thoughts on Pokemon, inter-game functionality, and more.   turtlejumpletters@gmail.com @turtlejumpshow on Twitter
