On this week's special, early episode, Ben Hanson, Kelsey Lewin, Jacob Geller, and Kyle Hilliard unpack all of the highlights from the surprising Nintendo Direct showing the last big games hitting the Nintendo Switch console. We talk about The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Metroid Prime 4 gameplay, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, and the odd surprises of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Perfect Dark! Then Kyle talks about his time playing Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree in a spoiler-free discussion, we're also taking The Deepest Dive on this DLC masterpiece from From Software so stay tuned for that. Then we round up some cool upcoming games we played during Steam Next Fest and Jacob explains why you shouldn't miss out on Still Wakes The Deep from The Chinese Room. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
