1 hour 42 minutes

We now return to our regularly scheduled program, and with it comes a whole lot of impressions. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we play catch up with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Mario Party Superstars, and the Legend of Zelda Game & Watch. Plus, we discuss the announcement of an official Smash Bros. championship circuit, cast our predictions for the The Game Awards, and chose our two anniversary giveaway winners.

The giveaways don’t end there, though! We’re next giving away two more $20 eShop gift cards on our Twitter account, so be sure to follow us @RandomNintendo and keep an eye out for the special tweet to retweet in the coming days.
