Wonder, setting up the return of an iconic '90s rivalry... and as always, we'll also be discussing topics suggested by our wonderful Patrons! Timestamps: 0:00 - Pre-show 2:08 - Intro, what we've been up to, and what we're playing 11:50 - News -- 11:59 - Reflecting on this week's Nintendo Direct -- 28:00 - GameStop have (probably) accidentally listed an October 17th release date for Sonic Superstars, meaning it would be releasing the same week as Super Mario Bros. Wonder *and* Spider-Man 2... CALM DOWN 2023 -- 32:36 - Zelda fan gets a real-life prosthetic arm modeled after Link’s arm from Tears of the Kingdom -- 37:55 - E3 has been canceled for 2024 and 2025 according to the Los Angeles City Tourism Board of Commissioners, but the ESA claims E3 2024's fate is "to be determined" 46:17 - Patron topics -- 46:37 - Daniel's topic: Super Mario RPG, the game that led to the creation of all kinds of Mario RPGs, has finally gotten some more love! Ever since 2000, we've had two major Mario RPG series: Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi. But with AlphaDream shut down due to bankruptcy, we're down to one Mario RPG series in Paper Mario. As Paper Mario isn't going so well with fans these days, and I believe Nintendo have noticed this, I think they're using the Super Mario RPG remake as a test. If it goes well, hopefully Nintendo will take notice and talk to Square Enix about a possible sequel. Do you think this is a possibility or do you think differently about this? -- 53:22 - Brandon's topic: Which type of Pikmin is your favorite? -- 56:34 - Ash's topic: Oftentimes stories like to present us with antagonists who have tragic backstories or even motivations that are believable and maybe even agreeable, but that’s not what this question is about. Who are some of your favorite villains that are just plain old terrible? No redemption arc, no sad backstory, just pure evil; some good examples being Metal Face from Xenoblade Chronicles, Kefka from Final Fantasy VI, or Professor Harvey from Octopath Traveler II. 1:06:52 - Wrap-up and outro Support GVG on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/GVGaming Check out our merch! https://the-official-gvg-store.creator-spring.com/ Follow GVG on Twitter: • https://twitter.com/GVGOfficial • https://twitter.com/JonComms • https://twitter.com/bitnerd_ • https://twitter.com/AshPaulsen • https://twitter.com/SteveMBowling • https://twitter.com/Meruleaf_ • https://twitter.com/EvernightStudio
