Episode 87: A Pirate’s Life for Me


Listen Later

Before we set sail into 2015, let’s spend a little time with belly dancer-turned-pirate Shantae. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we share our full impressions of her latest adventure, Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse. We also round up all the news from Shigeru Miyamoto’s recent YouTube interviews, discuss the continuing trials and tribulations of Amiibo collecting, and cover fresh details on the likes of Splatoon and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. Plus, we pick our favorite games of 2014. Oh, and did we mention that we raised a digital baby in the 3DS’s I Love My Little Girl? Because we totally did and we have lots to say about it.
