Show Notes
After over two years of waiting, the new Super Smash Bros. is finally here! In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we dive deep into the new 3DS title to share our full (and lengthy!) impressions of everything from the game’s multitude of modes to its online community. Along with all that smashing, there’s also news to be had. The episode kicks off with the latest on Nintendo’s holiday lineup, including fresh details on Captain Toad and the intriguing new gameplay mechanics of Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. Our focus then shifts to third parties as we share our thoughts on the unexpected cameos of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and the next wave of eShop indie games. Plus, we analyze Nintendo’s September sales performance.
