Game & Wario packs a lot of games onto one Wii U disc, but are they worth it? We answer that very question in this episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast with full impressions of the minigame compilation. Plus, we go hands-on with the upcoming Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies and 1001 Spikes, two eShop titles that won’t be released until later this year. But before we play games, we talk about them. The episode begins with eShop news, including an early peek at Cave Story publisher Nicalis’ unannounced next title and the triumphant return of Chibi-Robo, followed by the latest details on Nintendo’s own slate of retail games. We then look beyond the games themselves, breaking down the news from Nintendo’s recent shareholder meeting and weighing in on the current region locking debate. Come for the insights and stay for Wario’s crazy Wii U antics!
