It’s been a roller coaster of news for Nintendo fans with the disappointment of a weaker than expected winter Wii U lineup, followed by a burst of excitement from a new Nintendo Direct. This episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast is dedicated to all that news, from the HD remake of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker to the yarn-based worlds of Yoshi’s next adventure. We also discuss upcoming third-party games, including the ambitious Disney Infinity, the crossover extravaganza that is Project X Zone for 3DS, and the first details on Need for Speed: Most Wanted for Wii U. As if that wasn’t enough, we go hands-on with Fire Emblem: Awakening and Brain Age: Concentration Training. It’s an episode so big it feels like E3 in January!
