Randomer Nintendo

We’re taking a trip around the Indie World in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast. We share our highlights from the latest Showcase and impressions of some of its games: Fez, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, and the upcoming Aerial_Knight’s Never Yield. Plus, we discuss the long overdue localization of The Great Ace Attorney, the mystery of Microsoft’s Switch on a shelf, and believe it or not, the hype of a licensed Hot Wheels game.

When Kevin’s away, the boys will… talk about food. And theme parks. And supermarkets? This isn’t the Quarantine Chronicles you know and love. Oh no, anything but! Angel and Jason fly solo for a one-off special we’re calling the Power Hour and cover everything from favorite breads to a dislike of milk to the magic of Disney’s Seven Seas Lagoon and other theme parks. We often say Quarantine Chronicles is what puts the random in Random Nintendo, but this takes it to a whole other level.

For a game with a word as good as “rise” in its name, we sure had a hard time coming up with a punny show title. Yet ultimately we, like the games we’re covering in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, did rise to the occasion. Our episode’s namesake, Monster Hunter Rise, rose to meet expectations. Squad-based dodgeballer Knockout City rose to stand out in a sea of multiplayer games with its beta weekend. And surprise release Pac-Man 99 quickly rose to the top of the battle royale heap. We share our impressions of all three and how they did it, plus discuss how the summer news cycle is taking shape with the returns of E3 and Summer Game Fest.

This episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast is not one for the history books, but from them. We look back at the 3DS for its tenth anniversary, revisit Metroid: Samus Returns, check out the previously Japan-only Mr. Driller: Drill Land’s new lease on life on Switch, and share our impressions of the Playing with Power: The Nintendo Story docuseries. That’s not to say we don’t look ahead to what’s next, too. We discuss what DLSS means for a 4K Switch, what Sony buying Evo means for Nintendo’s competitive scene, and what Pikmin AR means for, well, Pikmin. Plus, we announce the winner of our $25 eShop credit giveaway!

We don’t know about you, but Quarantine Chronicles is feelin’ 22. We’re feeling pretty good. RNHQ has started to get a little more lenient these last couple of weeks and they’ve been playing music through the gulag speakers. Taylor Swift’s Red to be exact. On loop. No, that’s not Stockholm syndrome kicking in…

In a QC first, today’s episode is focused on a singular topic. What is that topic? Well if you haven’t guessed by the episode’s title, after years of fan support/outcry, we are finally blessed/cursed with Zack Snyder’s Justice League, a.k.a. The Snyder Cut. How did we feel about it? Well, you’re just gonna have to listen to find out.

Our wittle guy is all gwown up. Quarantine Chronicles is finally old enough to have a legal drink here in the states! We celebrated the best way we could, by taking shots of the rain water dripping through the cracks of RNHQ’s gulag. We’re not sure if the rain has any alcohol in it, but boy, the room is a-spinnin’ regardless!

Look, did we really want to name this episode Yes, Daddy Jason? It doesn’t matter because RNHQ loved the title and they loved it so much that they let us record this episode in an actual office. Yeah, we were tied to the chairs and got no restroom break, but it was a nice change of pace, ya know? If we have to have Jason’s name in the title to get a little luxury, then so be it.

On today’s episode, the crew tries to rock out with Earwig and the Witch, Kevin tries to bust some ghosts in Phasmaphobia, and Angel plays the Uno Reverse on South Park.

If there’s one thing you can say about this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, it’s that the cat certainly hasn’t got our tongue. Whether it’s impressions of the cat-filled Bowser’s Fury inside Super Mario 3D World, a deep dive into some of the movers and shakers from Nintendo’s latest financial report, or harrowing tales of trying to get Nintendo-themed fast food toys from Burger King and McDonald’s, we’ve got a lot to say. Plus, we discuss the end game of Ring Fit Adventure, third-party Switch game news, and the Switch Online SNES game we’ve all been waiting for, Prehistorik Man.
