The first Randomer Nintendo is here and it’s a feast for the ears with topics that are a feast for, well, eating. We share a taste of the new Kirby-themed food and drinks at Coldstone and Kung Fu Tea, discuss the surprise announcement of a Kirby game about food, and just generally talk about waffles and crepes (as one does). But we also go beyond food with a smorgasbord of other topics ranging from Anime Expo 2022 to Steam Deck impressions to the My Famicase Exhibition, an art exhibit made up entirely of Famicom cartridges. All of this is just a taste of what’s to come in our newer Randomer Nintendo format, but we want to hear your feedback too! Leave us a comment with your thoughts or hit us up on our @RandomNintendo Twitter account. If you enjoyed the show, you can also subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app. Bon appetite!

After 284 episodes, the sun is setting on the Random Nintendo Podcast as we know it. This episode marks the end of the format we’ve followed for over a decade – and we’re going out with all the hits. We’ve got impressions ranging from big new Switch titles like Fall Guys to retro re-releases like Capcom Fighting Collection to pleasant indie surprises like Neon White. We’re breaking down a fresh Nintendo Direct and all its highlights, even if Nintendo insisted on only making it about third-party games. And yes, we’re talking a bit about ourselves with some reflections on what 10+ years of the Random Nintendo Podcast meant to the three of us and what to expect going forward in your Random Nintendo feed. Really, the only thing missing are sales numbers! Perhaps above all else, this episode is also a thank you. Thank you for listening, reading, subscribing, following, and commenting. And if we can be presumptuous enough to say it, hopefully a preemptive thank you for coming along with us as we evolve into our next chapter. You’ll be able to find the new show in the exact same places you found the Random Nintendo Podcast, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, YouTube, and on our Twitter @RandomNintendo. We’ve said it in every episode’s blog post for a decade and we’ll say it here one last time: we’ve included links below for more on the news and games discussed in this episode. Each link also lists a time stamp to easily find the segments that interest you. Enjoy and see you next game!

It’s a goals-filled episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast. Literal goals as we share hands-on impressions of the upcoming Mario Strikers: Battle League. Figurative goals as we discuss Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and how Game Freak seems to be at last achieving the longtime dreams of fans. Business goals as we share our takes on Reggie’s book, Disrupting The Game. And missed goals as we try to make sense of Sonic Frontiers.

The Switch’s next hand has been dealt and we’re covering it all in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast. We start on the indie side, sharing highlights from the latest Indie World Showcase and our impressions of the upcoming Card Shark, Mini Motorways, and Gibbon: Beyond The Trees. We then turn to Nintendo itself, breaking down the company’s full-year financial report and what it suggests is next for the Switch game library.

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.

Adapt or die. Okay, maybe there’s no death involved in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, but there are adaptations aplenty! We start with the video game movie scene, giving our takes on Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and what’s next for both game adaptations and Sega itself. We also share impressions of tERRORbane, a Switch indie that’s all about adapting – and parodying – other games. From there, we dive into Nintendo’s own need to adapt their Switch release schedule with an atypical switcheroo of upcoming games, plus celebrate 25 years of Persona. If you like what you hear about tERRORbane in this episode, good news: we’re giving away two free copies of the game, courtesy of BitNine Studios and Vicarious PR!

Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the podcasting waters, RNHQ came after us. We’ve been on the run, moving city to city, buying cheap clothes to change into at gas stations, living off a diet of Slim Jim’s and soda. But the man can’t keep us down, and after two months in hiding, we’re using whatever means necessary to bring you a new Random Nontendo. In this episode, Angel takes on a Tough Mudder and drinks up Another Round, Jason finds work/life balance with Severance and cracks the cases of The Afterparty and Murderville, and the gang discusses The Batman and Close Enough’s new season.

Get ready to for an emotional rollercoaster in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast. We go from the highs of Kirby, both with impressions of Kirby and the Forgotten Land and a trip to one of Nintendo’s first in-person event in two years, to the lows of the delay of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 and the cancellation of E3 2022.

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 new Switch Online perks like Missions & Rewards to what could be next for the Switch’s smartphone app. Plus, we discuss the addition of Captain Falcon’s own F-Zero X to Switch Online + Expansion Pack, what’s next for TMNT games, and more.

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 closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops and which games to download while you still can. And then, like any good match, we head into overtime with a chaotic, off-topic debate of how to “improve” time zones. Thoughts on any topic in this episode? Shout them out in the comments below like any good sports fan would!

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’ll get through it… On this episode, BREAKING YE NEWS, Jason wants to taste it with Peacemaker, Angel plays with The Fox and The Hound, Kevin and Angel take a trip to the Entertainment District with Demon Slayer, Jason gives his read on The Book of Boba Fett, and let there be only pain when Kevin and Angel talk Venom: Let There Be Carnage.

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 summer, and break down the financial report details that help explain the hows and whys of those decisions.

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 share impressions of former Xbox-exclusive indie The Artful Escape and revisit the Microsoft-owned Banjo-Kazooie within Switch Online + Expansion Pack. We then turn our attention to Microsoft’s next move, the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and break down what it means for us gamers, for Nintendo, and for the industry as a whole. Plus, we go beyond Redmond for some light Kingdom Hearts shenanigans. What’s your take on Microsoft buying Activision? Tell us know in the comments.
