Randomer Nintendo

Hitch a ride on the Information Superhighway. In this episode of the Random Nintendo, we discuss two core components of the internet, memes and services, with our takes on the silliness of the recent Toad and Bowsette memes, and the seriousness of Switch Online – the pros, the cons, and everything in between. We also discuss the surprise closure of Telltale Games, the news (or lack there of) from the Tokyo Game Show, and August’s sales charts, before concluding with impressions of two Switch Nindies, The Gardens Between and A Case of Distrust.
