Nintendo fans, rejoice! For the first time ever, you can listen to your favorite songs from Mario, Zelda, and... Pikmin(?) on the Internet, thanks to Nintendo Music, a new streaming app that nobody asked for.

With video game music is hotter than ever, why would Nintendo skip the streaming services and build a standalone platform? And what will happen to all the music fans already get from YouTube? We discuss this strange and adorable development.

Plus: Our first impressions of cut scene simulator "Metaphor: ReFantazio," and hands-on with the beta for "Monster Hunter Wilds."

Also, for the love of God, please vote.
