Episode 17: E3 2012 Aftershock

E3 2012 was big. So big, in fact, that we needed to dedicate a second special episode of the Random Nintendo Podcast to covering it all! Continuing where we left off on Tuesday’s episode (E3 2012 Blowout), we take an in-depth look at Nintendo’s 3DS lineup of New Super Mario Bros. 2, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. We also discuss the latest round of Wii U news, including how Nintendo plans to moderate the Miiverse and the status of both the next Zelda and the next title from Retro Studios. All that, plus our overall take of the expo, await you in this super-sized episode of the RN Podcast!
