Randomer Nintendo

Comic-Con returned to San Diego after three years, which means so did we! We talk all things SDCC in this episode of Randomer Nintendo, including what Nintendo was up to, news of what’s next for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and how the expo compared to years past. Plus, we share impressions of the recent updates to Switch Sports, Mario Strikers: Battle League, and more.

The first Randomer Nintendo is here and it’s a feast for the ears with topics that are a feast for, well, eating. We share a taste of the new Kirby-themed food and drinks at Coldstone and Kung Fu Tea, discuss the surprise announcement of a Kirby game about food, and just generally talk about waffles and crepes (as one does). But we also go beyond food with a smorgasbord of other topics ranging from Anime Expo 2022 to Steam Deck impressions to the My Famicase Exhibition, an art exhibit made up entirely of Famicom cartridges.

All of this is just a taste of what’s to come in our newer Randomer Nintendo format, but we want to hear your feedback too! Leave us a comment with your thoughts or hit us up on our @RandomNintendo Twitter account.

After 284 episodes, the sun is setting on the Random Nintendo Podcast as we know it. This episode marks the end of the format we’ve followed for over a decade – and we’re going out with all the hits. We’ve got impressions ranging from big new Switch titles like Fall Guys to retro re-releases like Capcom Fighting Collection to pleasant indie surprises like Neon White. We’re breaking down a fresh Nintendo Direct and all its highlights, even if Nintendo insisted on only making it about third-party games. And yes, we’re talking a bit about ourselves with some reflections on what 10+ years of the Random Nintendo Podcast meant to the three of us and what to expect going forward in your Random Nintendo feed. Really, the only thing missing are sales numbers!

Perhaps above all else, this episode is also a thank you. Thank you for listening, reading, subscribing, following, and commenting. And if we can be presumptuous enough to say it, hopefully a preemptive thank you for coming along with us as we evolve into our next chapter. You’ll be able to find the new show in the exact same places you found the Random Nintendo Podcast, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, YouTube, and on our Twitter @RandomNintendo.

We’re channeling our inner local news station in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast with a trip to the sports desk. We share impressions of Nintendo Switch Sports and its inching towards a proper game-as-service, take on some hot takes from Reggie Fils-Aime about his time at Nintendo that would do any post-game interview with a coach proud, and look at how Disney is borrowing some plays from Nintendo’s playbook with their own spin on… Animal Crossing? Plus, we discuss the Mario movie delay and 20 years of Kingdom Hearts.

Adapt or die. Okay, maybe there’s no death involved in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, but there are adaptations aplenty! We start with the video game movie scene, giving our takes on Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and what’s next for both game adaptations and Sega itself. We also share impressions of tERRORbane, a Switch indie that’s all about adapting – and parodying – other games. From there, we dive into Nintendo’s own need to adapt their Switch release schedule with an atypical switcheroo of upcoming games, plus celebrate 25 years of Persona.

If you like what you hear about tERRORbane in this episode, good news: we’re giving away two free copies of the game, courtesy of BitNine Studios and Vicarious PR!

Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the podcasting waters, RNHQ came after us. We’ve been on the run, moving city to city, buying cheap clothes to change into at gas stations, living off a diet of Slim Jim’s and soda. But the man can’t keep us down, and after two months in hiding, we’re using whatever means necessary to bring you a new Random Nontendo.

In this episode, Angel takes on a Tough Mudder and drinks up Another Round, Jason finds work/life balance with Severance and cracks the cases of The Afterparty and Murderville, and the gang discusses The Batman and Close Enough’s new season.

Get ready to for an emotional rollercoaster in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast. We go from the highs of Kirby, both with impressions of Kirby and the Forgotten Land and a trip to one of Nintendo’s first in-person event in two years, to the lows of the delay of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 and the cancellation of E3 2022. Plus, along the way, we run through the world of anime games with Shin-chan and more.
