Episode 26: Kirby Kirby Kirby

This episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast is a trip through time. We go back to the past with our impressions of both Kirby’s Dream Collection, a compilation that celebrates twenty years of the pink puffball, and the old-school RPG stylings of The Denpa Men for 3DS. We also look ahead to the future with our thoughts on the Wii U’s launch day lineup and the avalanche of upcoming titles for the 3DS eShop. Of course, we additionally spend some time in the present, sharing our views on New Super Mario Bros. 2’s just-released downloadable level packs and the latest details on Animal Crossing for 3DS. It’s an episode that spans the entire time spectrum, so sit back, make sure your self-lacing shoes are tightly tied, and enjoy!
