We’re in the home stretch to E3 2015, so it’s only fitting to cover a game all about stretching. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we do just that with our full impressions of Stretchmo. We first kick off the show with an assortment of pre-E3 news, including a new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon for 3DS and the resurfacing of Art Academy on Wii U. We then turn our attention to Amiibo, telling our harrowing tales from Wave 4’s launch and exploring the potential dangers of Amiibo-exclusive content. Our focus then shifts to the world of tournament play as we discuss the Nintendo World Championships qualifiers and general attitudes about so-called “right” and “wrong” ways to play a game. From there, it’s all about the eShop as we talk about the unexpected Nintendo Humble Bundle and conclude the show with Stretchmo.

We want to hear your thoughts, too!
