It’s a Randomer Nintendo full of twists – literally! We discuss our favorite and least favorite twists in media, with even a twist of our own by workin in impressions of the likes of Captain America: Brave New World. But before we get there, we’ve got other impressions to share of movies like The Gorge, shows like A Crash Course in Romance, and games like A Little To The Left.

Rarely do we have such an even split of media as we do in this episode of Randomer Nintendo. You want game discussion? We’ve got it with the WarioWare-like Mindwave, the pleasant surprise of Ridge Racer 64 on Switch Online, and many thoughts on Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket’s trading and card expansions (and Bidoof!). Looking for a medium more passive? Well, we’ve got movie and TV impressions with The Substance, Nosferatu, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Prefer music? No problem as we talk about our trip to LA’s FireAid concert and the wild technology at its Intuit Dome venue. Are you still playing Pokemon TCG Pocket? Why or not? Let us know in the comments.

If there’s anyone wh9 can turn a two-minute trailer into an hour-long discussion, it’s us! The Switch 2 is finally official and we’ve got a lot of thoughts, from dissecting the hardware to Nintendo’s new focus on evolution not revolution. We also dive into that brief Mario Kart clip and what it may tease about Switch 2’s game lineup as a whole. Plus, we check out the local Smash Bros. tournament scene.

Sound the Alarmo, Nintendo’s getting weird again!

It’s an episode with a couple of Pros that come with a few cons. Apple’s new iPhones and the PlayStation 5 Pro, that is. But before we got there, we have a bunch of impressions to share from Pizza Tower to the unexpectedly twisted conclusion of Emio: The Smiling Man (no spoilers, though!) to watching Dandadan in theaters.
