This week we're going to put ourselves in the shoes of Shuntaro Furukawa and Shigeru Miyamoto and decided what the next big Nintendo movie should be. It's interesting because after Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, the next big Nintendo franchise to adapt for a movie is harder to choose. What should it be? Luigi's Mansion? Star Fox? Pikmin? Fire Emblem? There are a lot of options. Also in this episode, we react to some NEW news about The Legend of Zelda movie, Elden Ring pricing and 007 First Light getting delayed on Switch 2. We're playing a lot of new games we can't wait to tell you about. All this and more is coming right up! 0:00 - Get ready for an unhinged episode!
