Episode 272: Forgotten Title

A forgotten city, a forgotten land, and to go with them, a forgotten title. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we share impressions of Switch cloud game The Forgotten City, go hands-on with upcoming indie The Company Man, and build Lego’s Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block. We then turn to the news, including first details on Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the latest (or lack there of?) on Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and rumblings of Mario Kart 9 and the death of E3. Plus, we reflect on 35 years of Street Fighter and give you the analysis of the Bidoof’s Big Stand animated short you never knew you needed.
