Randomer Nintendo 91: Dueling Magicians

Two Nintendo Directs enter, one Randomer Nintendo leaves. The dust has settled on Nintendo’s double whammy of showcases and we’re here to break down the big trends, discuss the Switch 2 games we’re most hyped for, and try to make sense of whatever’s going on with Mario Kart World. Plus, we share thoughts on The Odyssey and attending an all-day Lord of the Rings movie marathon.
