Summer Game Fest brought the goods and we’re here to break it all down with a little help from a special guest. We share our thoughts on last week’s big Nintendo Direct, all the other Switch 2 news from Summer Game Fest, the Xbox Showcase, and more.

Games that are movies. Mixtapes that are games. A WarioWare that isn’t a WarioWare. Everything is all topsy-turvy in this Randomer Nintendo! Some of the media we talk about it simple enough: our takes on Obsession, The Sheep Detective, and The Boys finale cover what you’d expect. But we also talk about Mortal Kombat II — the movie, not the game. And we share impressions of narrative-driven Switch 2 game Mixtape and Nintendo’s surprise WarioWare-style mobile game, Pictonico. It all makes total sense, right?

It’s a Randomer Nintendo full of twists – literally! We discuss our favorite and least favorite twists in media, with even a twist of our own by workin in impressions of the likes of Captain America: Brave New World. But before we get there, we’ve got other impressions to share of movies like The Gorge, shows like A Crash Course in Romance, and games like A Little To The Left. Plus, is that a Jason’s Sales Corner hiding inside a discussion of My Nintendo’s Gold Points discontinuation? You bet it is!

Rarely do we have such an even split of media as we do in this episode of Randomer Nintendo. You want game discussion? We’ve got it with the WarioWare-like Mindwave, the pleasant surprise of Ridge Racer 64 on Switch Online, and many thoughts on Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket’s trading and card expansions (and Bidoof!). Looking for a medium more passive? Well, we’ve got movie and TV impressions with The Substance, Nosferatu, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Prefer music? No problem as we talk about our trip to LA’s FireAid concert and the wild technology at its Intuit Dome venue.

If there’s anyone who can turn a two-minute trailer into an hour-long discussion, it’s us! The Switch 2 is finally official and we’ve got a lot of thoughts, from dissecting the hardware to Nintendo’s new focus on evolution not revolution.
