Mario's Minute

First episode of 2025 and we're starting off with a guest episode featuring CrunchBite, the owner and operator of all things XLink Kai! We talk a LOT about XLink Kai including some of the legendary fixes CrunchBite has implemented, our histories with it, the history of XLink Kai itself, how wild it got with PSP support, and more! We've got love for the Wii U as well as the Steam Deck, so we take some time to discuss those. We also set aside a chunk of time to discuss the awesome XCAT project for Xbox, and perhaps some upcoming XCAT360 talk... Tune in and listen for yourself!

Here's to the final episode of the year for Mario's Minute! A solo episode here, and a bit of a longer one due to being long-winded with the stories, but here's to hoping the entertainment is there! I share a GameStop transaction (or three?) gone wrong, a contender I have for a good first hardmod, smoke detectors chirping, and the story of the three PS4s I had before I had my own. To keep things familiar, games currently being played as well as a game store story are shared before wrapping up for 2024. Tune in and enjoy!

A bit of a shorter solo episode of Mario's Minute this month just before Thanksgiving, this time around mostly filled with random stories! The source of my sore spot for always online DRM, no shortcut for removing shortcuts, and disappearing LEGO figures are all discussed before the games I've been playing this month.

A shorter solo episode for October 2024 of Mario's Minute. Talking about some changes in regards to Early Access for videos that I discuss, realizations of what a digital-only future can do with a recent PSN outage, and recent hurricanes causing physical media to be sold out. I also share what games I'm currently playing and share a topical game store story by the end of the episode.

Jason of GameRaveTV returns once again to catch up a bit and talk gaming! We discuss our thoughts on the recently announced PS5 Pro, some Switch 2 rumored leaks which seem to have more credence than others we've seen, physical game collecting, and our undying love for Astro Bot.

Starting off with a rant about a recent Geek Squad rescue and repair after a friend's desktop was deemed unfixable enough to push him to buy a brand new desktop to replace it. We also talk with a now resolved issue over outdated Xbox One consoles being blocked from updating. We cover current video games being played, and finally wrap up with a game store story!

Slot1Gamer reports in from Japan for this episode of Mario's Minute! We talk about his background in electronics, the infinite black hole of information online, audio mixing in films, the Xbox 360 digital storefront shutting down, and more!

Another solo episode of Mario's Minute for this month, my apologies for no guest but between a hectic schedule and bronchitis recovery, things have been busy! Talking a bit about Midwest Fest, the excitement behind the Nintendo Direct for June 2024, and getting DIY like a Villager in Animal Crossing.

A shorter solo episode this month on Mario's Minute. Talking about Limited Run Games selling D: The Game for 3DO on CD-R discs instead of pressed discs, Sony walking back their decision to require Helldivers 2 on PC to be linked to a PSN account, and sharing a particularly stomach churning game store story.

Harcroft joins in for this month's Mario's Minute in an original Xbox focused episode! We talk about his personal Title Update and DLC archiving projects, new projects such as XCAT, and a big delve into the OXHD which aims to be an open source solution to install internal HDMI output on an original Xbox.
