Show Notes
There’s no question that a lot of great games are coming our way. We saw them in last week’s Nintendo Direct, we played them at WonderCon 2015, and now we’re bringing you our takes on all of them. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we share our hands-on impressions of the upcoming Splatoon for Wii U and Puzzle & Dragons Z + Super Mario Bros. Edition for 3DS. We also break down all the big Nintendo Direct news, including Mario Kart 8’s new 200cc class, Fire Emblem’s dual releases, and the monetization of, well, everything. Plus, we discuss the Wave 4 Amiibo preorder chaos, the Legend of Zelda Wii U’s delay, and more.
