There was excitement, there was confusion, there was a lack of AC Adapters. Nintendo hosted its first Nintendo Direct of the year and it was packed with all sorts of news about what we’ll be seeing and playing in the first half of 2015. We break it all down in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, including an analysis of the decision to only release the New 3DS XL in North America (and exclude the AC adapter), a look at the full Spring lineup, and first gameplay details on Pokemon/Tekken crossover Pokken Tournament. We also discuss the closure of Club Nintendo and December sales numbers, plus go hands-on with the upcoming Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.
