The Nintendo Drive 213: Somehow, Indie World Returned
Q: What other Nintendo franchises would you like to see shift genres compared to their recent releases like Donkey Kong's newest game?
I think I'd like to see Yoshi do a different genre rather than just the side-scroller appeal. Maybe Yoshi should try an RPG.

Q: What’s the weirdest thing you saw or experienced at the Nintendo Museum?
Clayton mentioned that the weirdest thing was the corner about the history of the building where you could take pictures, which felt random compared to the other exhibits.
