                            There are now as many episodes of the Random Nintendo Podcast as there are microgames in the original WarioWare. And how are we celebrating this fittingly random Nintendo milestone? By discussing the future of gaming, duh! We dive deep into what cloud- and subscription-based services mean for gaming and Nintendo, as well as discuss Nintendo’s own Switch ambitious with reports of multiple new models and their plans for Labo VR. Plus, we share impressions of asymmetric Switch game Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes and speculate about what’s to come in this month’s Smash Bros. 3.0 update.

                            We also want to get you in on our 200th episode celebration, so we’re hosting a giveaway to win one of two $20 eShop gift cards!

We share hands-on impressions of over a dozen upcoming Switch games, including Nindies Showcase breakouts like Cuphead and Creature in the Well, anticipated titles like SteamWorld Quest, and big third-party titles like Mortal Kombat 11. Plus, we discuss the Smash Bros. & Splatoon 2 North America Opens and in the spirit of Cadence of Hyrule, our dream Nintendo x Indie collaborations.

                                    Not everything has to be a competition.
