Episode 206: It’s-a Me, The Maker

We’ll make a Mario out of you. Or at the very least tell you about the experience of making your own Mario. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we share impressions of Super Mario Maker 2 and Cadence of Hyrule, plus go beyond just games to give our takes on the Genki Bluetooth Adapter for Switch and Anime Expo’s premiere screening of the first-ever CG Pokemon movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution. We also weigh in on the convention at large, discussing the gaming presence and news associated with the show, along with the latest on Nintendo’s mobile games and recent shareholder meeting.
