Randomer Nintendo

A game yet to be released, unreleased games finally released, and revisiting a game already released. Yes, this episode of Randomer Nintendo has it all. We share our impressions of The Duskbloods Network Test, the Virtual Boy’s Zero Racers and D-Hopper, and the deeper modes of Rhythm Heaven Groove. Pus, we take a trip to The Magic Faraway Tree, experience Scream in 16mm, and discuss the franchises we think got ruined over time.
