Episode 215: Who Ya Gonna Call?

We ain’t afraid of no ghosts. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we dive head first into the haunted hotel of Luigi’s Mansion 3 to bring you our impressions of the single-player and co-op experiences. We also share impressions of Terry Bogard in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo’s surprise co-op game The Stretchers, and a first look at The Outer Worlds. Plus, we discuss Overwatch 2 and the changing concept of sequels, the Switch Lite’s success and what it means for Swith’s future game library, and Nintendo’s half-year financial report.
