  • Episode 277: Restart Your Engines

    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.

    What’s your favorite track in Wave 1 of the Booster Course Pass? Tell us in the comments. If you enjoyed the show, be sure to subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app. You can also follow us on Twitter @RandomNintendo.

      • Episode 276: Show Us Your Moves

        When Captain Falcon demands “show me your moves,” who are we to say no? In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we’re covering all sorts of moves. The dance moves of the original Rhythm Heaven for Game Boy Advance, freshly imported from Japan. The skillful moves when in the zone in Tetris Effect. Even the moves Nintendo’s making with its own services of late, from new Switch Online perks like Missions & Rewards to what could be next for the Switch’s smartphone app. Plus, we discuss the addition of Captain Falcon’s own F-Zero X to Switch Online + Expansion Pack, what’s next for TMNT games, and more.

          • Episode 275: Sports Tryouts

            Think of this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast as a sport. In the first quarter, we discuss the just-revealed Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The second quarter is dedicated to sports games themselves, from Switch Sports and MLB The Show 22 to the genre as a whole. Our third quarter shifts to fighting games with the upcoming Capcom Fighting Collection. The fourth quarter focuses on the announced closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops and which games to download while you still can. And then, like any good match, we head into overtime with a chaotic, off-topic debate of how to “improve” time zones.

                What they don’t tell you about being an independent podcast network is that there is no company credit card. We’ve got to pay for everything ourselves. We’ve run out of plastic forks a week ago. I’ve been eating spaghetti using my hands and using knives. Angel’s been drinking out of a cereal bowl. Jason has been using printer paper instead of paper napkins. We’ll get through it…

                On this episode, BREAKING YE NEWS, Jason wants to taste it with Peacemaker, Angel plays with The Fox and The Hound, Kevin and Angel take a trip to the Entertainment District with Demon Slayer, Jason gives his read on The Book of Boba Fett, and let there be only pain when Kevin and Angel talk Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

                  It wasn’t enough for Nintendo to release the first major shakeup of Pokemon in two decades. Nor their holiday quarter financials. Nor the first Nintendo Direct of 2022. No, they had to do all three, leaving us with one jam-packed episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast! We share impressions of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, dive into all the news of what’s now coming to Switch this spring and summer, and break down the financial report details that help explain the hows and whys of those decisions.

We share impressions of former Xbox-exclusive indie The Artful Escape and revisit the Microsoft-owned Banjo-Kazooie within Switch Online + Expansion Pack. We then turn our attention to Microsoft’s next move, the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and break down what it means for us gamers, for Nintendo, and for the industry as a whole. Plus, we go beyond Redmond for some light Kingdom Hearts shenanigans.

In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we share impressions of Switch cloud game The Forgotten City, go hands-on with upcoming indie The Company Man, and build Lego’s Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block. We then turn to the news, including first details on Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the latest (or lack there of?) on Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and rumblings of Mario Kart 9 and the death of E3.

                                    • Random Nontendo: Episode 34


                                      RNHQ can try all they want but they’re never getting us back. We’re indie now. That means we do what we want, when we want. And if that means having to ration a day’s worth of food across an entire week between three people, then so be it. That being said, it’d be nice to have access to RNHQ’s breakfast spread…

                                      On this episode, Jason and Kevin hit the bullseye with Hawkeye, Arcane is way out of Angel’s league, Kevin’s Backbone One has his back, Jason and Kevin love the hateful characters of Succession, and then the whole RN crew go into the spider-verse with Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
