Randomer Nintendo

On the award stage or in battle, there’s always a winner – and in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we’ve got both types covered. We start in battle, against both demons and pocket monsters, with impressions of Shin Megami Tensei V and a check in with the latest Pokemon Unite happenings. We then turn to the award stage with a discussion of the 2021 Game Awards and its big announcements, followed by our own Game of the Year picks. Plus, a fine sprinkling of sales news throughout the show.

This episode also marks the final part of our ten-year anniversary celebration!

Why have we been silent? We escaped again. We’re at an undisclosed location. RNHQ ain’t ever finding us. And we’re still going to put our episodes on their feed because they don’t know how to stop us. A new age of mediocre podcasting begins today.

On this episode, Jason unexpectedly goes to Kanye show, Angel bows to King Richard, Kevin’s live-action Cowboy Bebop arc comes to an end, Jason faces off against a big worm in Dune, Angel goes deep state into Inside Job, Jason meets the Eternals, and Kevin gets lost in the Scarlet Nexus.

It’s our tenth anniversary, and to celebrate, we have a very special episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast for you. Instead of the three of us, there are five as we host a roundtable with everyone who’s made an appearance over our 10-year history. And instead of the usual news cycle, we’re reflecting on the past decade that made the show, from the games and systems to events and punny episode titles.

Of course, like any good birthday, we’ve also got party favors. Between now and the end of the year, we are giving away $100 in eShop credits to thank you, the listeners, for making this all possible. Random Nintendo would not be where it is today without each and every one of you, so we want to bring the party to you wherever you are! Here, it’s in comments of this blog post. Leave a reply below before December 4 telling us your favorite Nintendo memory of the past decade for a chance to win one of two $20 eShop gift cards. Then, follow us on Twitter @RandomNintendo.and subscribe to our YouTube Channel for your shot at additional gift cards throughout December.

If you enjoy the show, be sure to also subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, or your favorite podcasting app. We don’t have any time stamps this episode since it was more of a free-wheeling look back, so we’ll instead leave you with this: THANK YOU! Thank you for listening, reading, watching, and following us for the past decade. Enjoy the roundtable!

They say seeing is believing, but we like to think hearing about it is pretty good too. And on this Nintendo Switch OLED Model launch weekend, we’ve got impressions of the new hardware, the transfer process, and oh yes, that big ol’ OLED screen.

Ultimate as its final fighter, attempt to untangle the confusing web of Kingdom Heart games now coming to Switch, and more.

Okay, so planning an RNHQ escape is really hard, right? We’ve got little to no tools at our disposal, and we’re under surveillance most of the time, except when the guards go to use the restroom. We’re working on it, alright? Best we got are the toothbrushes they gave us.

On this episode, we play catch up with the Apple event, Angel does As The Gods Will, Kevin and Angel play some Squid Games, Kevin goes off on Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop reaction, and Shang-Chi’s takes Jason and Kevin on a trip.

It’s a show as crazy as the come – or at the very least, the topics are. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we start by sharing our impressions of the equally wild WarioWare: Get It Together and Cruis’n Blast, followed by the crazy continuing with our takes on the surprising cast of the Super Mario movie. We then turn a bit more civil to bring you all the news big and small from the rest of this past week’s Nintendo Direct, including Switch Online’s expansion, Kirby’s post-apocalyptic adventure, Voice of Cards’ demo, and more.

What was your favorite Nintendo Direct announcement and are you okay after that Mario cast reveal?
