The Mind Of Miyamoto
Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this week's special episode, Ben Hanson is joined by the co-director of the Video Game History Foundation Kelsey Lewin and Digital Eclipse's Editorial Director Chris Kohler to try to better understand Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto. This isn't an interview with the man, unfortunately. We talk about our experiences interacting with the creator of Donkey Kong, Mario, and The Legend of Zelda and share insightful quotes from interviews he's done throughout the decades. This is inspired by this week's big premiere of the Super Mario Bros. movie from Illumination. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!

Resident Evil 4 Remake Review, Exoprimal, Leo's Most Underrated Game
On this episode of The MinnMax Show podcast, Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, listen to and appreciate Jacob Geller's review of the great remake of Resident Evil 4! We also talk about playing the dinosaur-filled beta for Exoprimal, Jacob Geller's weird fascination with Wanted Dead, and Leo highlights Cosmo's Quickstop, a co-op game that's woefully under everybody's radar. Then we're joined by MinnMax's new community manager Haley MacLean to answer wonderful questions submitted on Patreon! You can win a prize and help make the show better by supporting us on Patreon and leaving a question! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
