Randomer Nintendo

Our first double-digit episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast is all about the comebacks. After twenty years, Pit is back in the gaming spotlight with the release of Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS; and after a briefer five year hiatus, the Mario Party franchise has returned on the Wii with the launch of Mario Party 9. In this episode, we share our impressions of both of these comeback titles, al...

Over the past few episodes of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we’ve discussed the 3DS’s biggest and brightest games, featuring the likes of Mario, Resident Evil, and Metal Gear. But what about the lesser-know games? The ones that slip right under the radar? Don’t worry, we’ve got those covered, too! In this episode of the RN Podcast, we’re sharing our thoughts on two of...

Whew! That one word pretty much sums up the past two weeks in the world of Nintendo. We saw big game launches, a wave of news out of Nintendo Direct, and a slew of rumors pertaining to both the Wii U and 3DS. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we provide an in-depth look of Rhythm Heaven Fever and bring in a special guest to share his impressions of Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D. We...

Resident Evil and Rhythm Heaven: one is a gore-filled horror fest, the other is a happy-go-lucky musical romp. They may be polar opposites, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about both of them! In today’s episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we do just that, sharing our impressions of the 3DS’s Resident Evil: Revelations, as well as our thoughts on the Rhythm Heaven Fe...

Crisper, clearer, and still chock full of Nintendo news – welcome to Episode 06 of the Random Nintendo Podcast! We underwent a long overdue microphone upgrade, and just in the nick of time, too. Nintendo made some big announcements at an investor meeting this past week, including an ambitious new online strategy (goodbye Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, hello Nintendo Network), a very intriguing W...

It’s been a rather strange two weeks in the world of Nintendo. First, the Wii U shows up at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), but as nothing more than rehash of what we saw at last year’s E3. Then, Nintendo announces a stand for the 3DS, which allows you to play Kid Icarus: Uprising without worrying about how to hold the system (was that an issue in the first place?). On top of that...

Happy New Year! 2012 is upon us and it’s going to be a great year for Nintendo fans with a solid lineup of new 3DS games, and more importantly, the launch of the Wii U. But before diving into 2012, let’s take a look back at 2011. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we discuss the biggest Nintendo news stories of 2011 and our top games of the year. We also look ahead to the...

Mario Kart 7, Miyamoto, Mii Plaza, and more. Yes, the third episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast is brought to you by the letter M. In this episode, we share our impressions of the latest (and arguably greatest) Mario Kart game, as well as go hands-on with Rayman’s return-to-form platformer, Rayman Origins. Plus, we discuss what turned out to be a very busy two weeks of Nintendo news: the...

It took five years, over 100 developers, and a full orchestra to make The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, but it’s finally here! In our second episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we share our thoughts on Link’s epic adventure, as well as give impressions of Sonic Generations for 3DS and look back at Sonic Colors for Wii. Nintendo also dropped a bit of a bombshell this past week by...

Welcome to the debut episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast!
