MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Jeff Marchiafava, Jacob Geller, and Leo Vader along with special guest Brendon Bigley from Into The Aether and Wavelengths share early impressions of Borderlands 4 and how the action compares to the new roguelite FPS Void/Breaker. Then we run through our favorite moments from the Nintendo Direct on Friday, including the reveal of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, the Super Mario Galaxy movie, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond's release date. Then we return to Hollow Knight: Silksong to share our final thoughts on the game's scope and ambition... without spoiling key moments or fights. We also talk about the generous demo for Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and the history of Falcom's incredibly long-running series. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
