Episode 01: Tanooki Tails Everywhere!
Welcome to the debut episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast! This episode is a big one: we talk about the 3DS’s first true must-have game, Super Mario 3D Land, as well as share our impressions of Tetris Axis and the upcoming Mario Kart 7. We also discuss the many events Nintendo recently held in Los Angeles, including last month’s Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony, the Tetris Axis tweet-up, and Nintendo’s showing at the LA Auto Show (spoiler: they brought real-life Mario Kart karts and they are awesome). Plus, we’ve got the latest Wii U online rumors, 3DS sales number talk, a tenth anniversary GameCube retrospective, and more!

Random Nontendo: Episode 31
Its so nice that you (Jose) gave your prize 3DS to your brother. Jason sounds like a pretty cool person too. Cool podcast, and hope to hear about upcoming Dragon Quest games too! Like DQX, RocketSlime 3DS (TBA), and Terry’s Wonderland 3DS.
Just because you get older doesn’t mean you have to play “hardcore” games. I’m 19 and me and a few fndreis in college had a blast play the new super mario bros. and mario kart on the wii (it got very competitive) Although i don’t have a wii i also heard super mario galaxy 2 was a great game so i would get it if i owned a wii.
