Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this week's big episode, Ben Hanson, Janet Garcia, Kyle Hilliard, and Jeff Marchiafava listen back to their incredibly accurate predictions from 2023 before lobbing bold, new predictions for the game industry in 2024. We carve out time to ensure we correctly guess the name for the follow-up to the Nintendo Switch. Then we talk about playing the demo for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and beyond at a press event and what we think about Square-Enix's middle chapter for the remake trilogy before diving into our thoughts on Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League from Rocksteady Games. Oh, and we talk about the hit, new survival game Enshrouded, check back in on Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and review the new documentary on the making of The Last Of Us Part 2. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
