Episode 07: Evil Moves In

Resident Evil and Rhythm Heaven: one is a gore-filled horror fest, the other is a happy-go-lucky musical romp. They may be polar opposites, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about both of them! In today’s episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we do just that, sharing our impressions of the 3DS’s Resident Evil: Revelations, as well as our thoughts on the Rhythm Heaven Fever launch party held at the iam8bit gallery in Los Angeles. We also take a look at some interesting new Wii U rumors, the latest sales numbers, and the announcement of a new Ace Attorney game. Plus, did you know that Nintendo now has its own spokes…dog? From cruise ship horrors to rhythmic mayhem to brand ambassador dogs, don’t miss out on this episode!
