Randomer Nintendo

We’re revved up and ready to go in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast. We hit the tracks with impressions of the first wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass and new kart racer Chocobo GP, plus take on some kaiju in Dawn of the Monsters. Along the way, we also discuss Nintendo’s shifting mobile approach, the shutting down of Draglia Lost, and Switch’s me...

When Captain Falcon demands “show me your moves,” who are we to say no? In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we’re covering all sorts of moves. The dance moves of the original Rhythm Heaven for Game Boy Advance, freshly imported from Japan. The skillful moves when in the zone in Tetris Effect. Even the moves Nintendo’s making with its own services of late, from n...

Think of this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast as a sport. In the first quarter, we discuss the just-revealed Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The second quarter is dedicated to sports games themselves, from Switch Sports and MLB The Show 22 to the genre as a whole. Our third quarter shifts to fighting games with the upcoming Capcom Fighting Collection. The fourth quarter focuses on the announced...

What they don’t tell you about being an independent podcast network is that there is no company credit card. We’ve got to pay for everything ourselves. We’ve run out of plastic forks a week ago. I’ve been eating spaghetti using my hands and using knives. Angel’s been drinking out of a cereal bowl. Jason has been using printer paper instead of paper napkins. We’l...

It wasn’t enough for Nintendo to release the first major shakeup of Pokemon in two decades. Nor their holiday quarter financials. Nor the first Nintendo Direct of 2022. No, they had to do all three, leaving us with one jam-packed episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast! We share impressions of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, dive into all the news of what’s now coming to Switch this spring and summe...

Activision Blizzard isn’t the only thing Microsoft is taking over. The company that Bill Gates built is all over this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, too.

We then turn our attention to Microsoft’s next move, the acquisition o...

We share impressions of Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain and puzzle-platformer Unravel Two, alongside a broader discussion of our fav...

RNHQ can try all they want but they’re never getting us back. We’re indie now. That means we do what we want, when we want. And if that means having to ration a day’s worth of food across an entire week between three people, then so be it. That being said, it’d be nice to have access to RNHQ’s breakfast spread… On this episode, Jason and Kevin hit the bullseye w...

On the award stage or in battle, there’s always a winner – and in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we’ve got both types covered.

We then turn to the award stage with a discussion of the 2021 Game Awards and its...

Why have we been silent? We escaped again. We’re at an undisclosed location. RNHQ ain’t ever finding us. And we’re still going to put our episodes on their feed because they don’t know how to stop us. A new age of mediocre podcasting begins today. On this episode, Jason unexpectedly goes to Kanye show, Angel bows to King Richard, Kevin’s live-action Cowboy Bebop arc comes to an end, Jason faces of...

We also share impressions of a couple actual games with Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania and the third season of Knockout City. Plus, we discus...

Okay, so planning an RNHQ escape is really hard, right? We’ve got little to no tools at our disposal, and we’re under surveillance most of the time, except when the guards go to use the restroom. We’re working on it, alright? Best we got are the toothbrushes they gave us. On this episode, we play catch up with the Apple event, Angel does As The Gods Will, Kevin and Angel play some Squid Games, Kev...

It’s a show as crazy as the come – or at the very least, the topics are. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we start by sharing our impressions of the equally wild WarioWare: Get It Together and Cruis’n Blast, followed by the crazy continuing with our takes on the surprising cast of the Super Mario movie. We then turn a bit more civil to bring you all the news big an...

Alright, we’ve had enough. We’re getting outta here. We’re going to revolt against RNHQ. We still don’t know how exactly we’re doing it because we’re malnourished. But dang it, we’re getting out of here. We still gotta record to make it seem like nothing’s going on, but we’re doing it. On today’s episode, Angel gets psychedelic with Psychonauts, Jason has too much content to sift through wit...

Seconds just bleed into minutes and then minutes bleed into hours and then hours bleed into days and then days bleed into weeks and then weeks bleed into months and then months bleed into years and then those bleed into decades and then those… On today’s episode, Angel becomes Legend in Hearthstone and goes to Double-U Double-U 2 with DC Animated Movies, Jason takes a trip to the UK with Ted...
