Episode 264: They Wah-ssacred My Boy

It’s a show as crazy as the come – or at the very least, the topics are. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we start by sharing our impressions of the equally wild WarioWare: Get It Together and Cruis’n Blast, followed by the crazy continuing with our takes on the surprising cast of the Super Mario movie. We then turn a bit more civil to bring you all the news big and small from the rest of this past week’s Nintendo Direct, including Switch Online’s expansion, Kirby’s post-apocalyptic adventure, Voice of Cards’ demo, and more.

What was your favorite Nintendo Direct announcement and are you okay after that Mario cast reveal? Let us know in the comments. If you enjoyed the show, be sure to subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app. You can also follow us on Twitter @RandomNintendo.
