Show Notes
We’re channeling our inner local news station in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast with a trip to the sports desk. We share impressions of Nintendo Switch Sports and its inching towards a proper game-as-service, take on some hot takes from Reggie Fils-Aime about his time at Nintendo that would do any post-game interview with a coach proud, and look at how Disney is borrowing some plays from Nintendo’s playbook with their own spin on… Animal Crossing? Plus, we discuss the Mario movie delay and 20 years of Kingdom Hearts.
What’s your favorite Switch Sport? Let us know in the comments. If you enjoyed the show, be sure to subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app. You can also follow us on Twitter @RandomNintendo.
