  • Episode 196: Drop It Like It’s Hot

    “Where we dropping, boys?” According to Nintendo, the answer is everywhere. News drops, shadow drops, tetromino drops – in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we cover it all. We take on the world in Tetris 99 and discuss how the game could change Switch Online as we know it, go hands-on with Yoshi’s Crafted World and Daemon X Machina: Prototype Missions, and weigh in on news big and small from the latest Nintendo Direct. Plus, we debate what constitutes a “good” video game remake and discuss the potential fate of Star Fox: Grand Prix.

      • Episode 195: Nintendo Very Direct

        Nintendo’s been busy. When they weren’t announcing the news and numbers of their post-holiday financials, they were delaying Metroid Prime 4. When they weren’t postponing Samus’ Switch debut, they were announcing the return of Dr. Mario. When the doctor wasn’t back in, Piranha Planet joined Smash. And when #PlantGang was taking shape, the company’s long-held blue ocean strategy was meeting its demise. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we cover all that and more with a deep dive into everything from Nintendo’s recent financial report and beyond.

                    ‘Tis the season where you cram as much as you can into a sock. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we’re doing that in the figurative sense with a grab bag of gaming goodies as we share our Games of the Year picks and impressions of both TowerFall on Switch and Pokemon Go’s new Trainer Battles. We also dive into the latest holiday sales numbers from Nintendo, revisit Smash Bros. Ultimate, and yes, talk about Sonic’s overly toned legs. If this episode was a stocking, it’d be absolutely stuffed.

                    And just like any good stocking, it contains a gift! We’re giving away a $20 eShop gift card to one lucky commenter. As longtime listeners of the show may know, Jason has a reputation of never finishing his games. Now, we want to know which of your games you somehow never got to and why. Maybe you started but simply didn’t finish; or perhaps you never even took it out of the box. Whatever the most outlandish reason you have, let’s hear it! Leave a comment below telling us your game and reason, and we’ll highlight our favorites – and pick one lucky gift card winner – in our next episode on January 9. To make sure you don’t miss it, be sure to follow us on Twitter @RandomNintendo and subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play Music, YouTube, or your podcasting app of choice.
