Fallout is a great show, it's hard to deny. In fact, it's so good it got us thinking about which Nintendo franchises could carry an episodic series with the same faithfulness as the Fallout series does. We also talk about the Silksong that wasn't in the Indie World showcase as well as take your Nintendo questions.
