  Randomer Nintendo 85: Kontext 01.06.2026 2h 33min

  Games that are movies. Mixtapes that are games. A WarioWare that isn’t a WarioWare. Everything is all topsy-turvy in this Randomer Nintendo! Some of the media we talk about it simple enough: our takes on Obsession, The Sheep Detective, and The Boys finale cover what you’d expect. But we also talk about Mortal Kombat II — the movie, not the game. And we share impressions of narrative-driven Switch 2 game Mixtape and Nintendo’s surprise WarioWare-style mobile game, Pictonico. It all makes total sense, right?
