Episode 259: Does Size Matter?

It’s a question as old as time: does size matter? While we maybe can’t answer it in every sense, we certainly have some takes when it comes to the newly announced Switch (OLED Model) and its larger screen. In fact, it’s the guiding question of this entire episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast as we also discuss the size of the price tag for Tag Heuer’s Super Mario smartwatch and the scope of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl in the face of its Smash Bros. inspiration. Plus, we share impressions of Fuser and celebrate 35 years of Metroid with part two of our Anniversary Series.
