Episode 01: Tanooki Tails Everywhere!

Welcome to the debut episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast! This episode is a big one: we talk about the 3DS’s first true must-have game, Super Mario 3D Land, as well as share our impressions of Tetris Axis and the upcoming Mario Kart 7. We also discuss the many events Nintendo recently held in Los Angeles, including last month’s Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony, the Tetris Axis tweet-up, and Nintendo’s showing at the LA Auto Show (spoiler: they brought real-life Mario Kart karts and they are awesome). Plus, we’ve got the latest Wii U online rumors, 3DS sales number talk, a tenth anniversary GameCube retrospective, and more! Have a comment, question, or suggestion for future episodes?
