Episode 162: Trick or Treat

Listen Later

We don’t normally theme episodes around holidays, but when we do, it’s Halloween. From a discussion of what makes horror games tick to the introduction of third-gen ghost Pokemon to Pokemon Go, this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast has tricks up it sleeve. There’s also plenty of treats too as we weigh on surprises like the reveal of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Switch’s 4.0 update, and the latest 3DS and Switch news. Plus, we go hands-on with Sonic Force’s new Japanese demo and break down Nintendo’s September sales.
