MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, Janet Garcia, and Kyle Hilliard unpack the highlights and hot takes from the new Nintendo Direct covering Mario Kart World before we share our biggest surprises from playing the Nintendo Switch 2 at a recent event in LA. Then we leave Nintendo world behind and Leo Vader gushes about Rematch from the developers of Sifu and Wildgate. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
