Innovations and Nostalgia in Gaming

We'll DM you a Steam code for Lorelei and the Laser Eyes if you support MinnMax at the $5 tier before 4/7/25! We'll post on social if we run out of codes. https://www.patreon.com/c/minnmax

MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Kelsey Lewin, Janet Garcia, Jacob Geller, and Leo Vader unpack all of their thoughts and emotions on the big Nintendo Direct all about the Nintendo Switch 2. We talk about From Software's reveal of The Duskbloods and how closely it resembles Bloodborne, break down gameplay for Mario Kart World, and go gaga over the new 3D Donkey Kong game. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week! You can win a prize and help make the show better by supporting us on Patreon and submitting a question! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
