Episode 277: Restart Your Engines

1 hour 20 minutes

We’re revved up and ready to go in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast. We hit the tracks with impressions of the first wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass and new kart racer Chocobo GP, plus take on some kaiju in Dawn of the Monsters. Along the way, we also discuss Nintendo’s shifting mobile approach, the shutting down of Draglia Lost, and Switch’s menu finally getting folders… sort of.
