Show notes
It’s a show that builds character – or at least talks about a bunch of them. In this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast, we discuss all the latest announcements from Nintendo, including fresh Mario Golf: Star Rush details and why its character roster includes the likes of King Bob-Omb and Chargin’ Chuck. We also celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of Nintendo’s most iconic characters, Donkey Kong, as part of a new segment we’re calling The Anniversary Series. Plus, we weigh in on the controversy surrounding Zelda: Skyward Sword HD’s Loftwing amiibo, the latest Switch Online game additions, and more.Got thoughts on any of this episode’s topics?
