It’s 2016 and we’re now living the future. Okay, maybe not the future where robots are raiding spaceshipe like in this episode’s titular game SteamWorld Heist, but a future that will bring us Nintendo’s NX and a whole lot of anniversary celebrations. So for this edition of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we’re sharing our predictions of 2016’s biggest stories, starting with a breakdown of new reports on what the NX could be and when it will be released. We then discuss the onslaught of video game anniversaries this year, including Pokemon’s 20th and some interesting rumors surrounding Sonic The Hedgehog’s 25th, plus what Nintendo World’s transformation into Nintendo NY may mean for future Nintendo stores. The show then concludes with our impressions of SteamWorld Heist for 3DS.
