Summary

Nintendo showed off 15 minutes of Mario Kart World, sharing more details about Free Roam, Battle Mode, and more new features coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 launch game. But we still have some questions about how open world exploration will work and what rewards and unlockables are in store. This week, join Logan Plant, Jada Griffin, Nick Limon, and Brian Altano as they break down all the big news from the presentation. Plus, Nick went hands-on with Switch 2, and he shares his thoughts on Donkey Kong Bananza and the hardware itself. Finally, former PlayStation president Shuhei Yoshida said he thinks Nintendo is losing its identity, and the panel gets into a big discussion about if they agree or not.
