Episode 239: Block Busters


Listen Later

Mario, Minecraft, movies – they’re all “block busters” in their own way, and in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, they’re all coming together. We report back from the 8-bit battle (royale) fields of Super Mario Bros. 35, share our takes on Minecraft’s Steve and Alex joining Smash Bros. Ultimate, and compare video game documentaries Console Wars and High Score. Along the way, we also weight in on Mortal Kombat 11’s roster of 80s icons, what’s next for Pokemon after the Crown Tundra DLC, and the early hours of Hades.
