Critical Diversions

On this tumultuous episode of the show, Matt's talking about his replay of Super Mario Odyssey, Bushido Ball and its Windjammers inspirations, and finding out how many espresso's worth of caffeine is in his drink live on air. In the news, we're waxing nostalgic about various entries of Mario Golf, talking about the new Chained Echoes DLC release date, and talking about THAT news out of Xbox.

Have y'all heard of this Switch 2 thing? Wild. Matt's back from a stressful hiatus with Switch 2 in hand to talk about Mario Kart World, Yakuza 0 Director's Cut, Fantasy Life i, and, most importantly, more UFO 50. There'll be some Donkey Kong Bananza talk in here somewhere as well, between all of those games and retellings of taking the cat to the vet.
