It’s the return of two long dormant Nintendo franchises in this episode of Randomer Nintendo. We share our impressions of Star Fox for Switch 2 and Rhythm Heaven Groove, plus thoughts on the rapidly unraveling state of the video game industry (RIP physical games?). Beyond gaming, we also discuss the final season of The Bear, Toy Story 5, and a rapid-fire round robin of other movies we’ve seen. Have you been playing Star Fox or Rhythm Heaven?

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?
