About this episode
Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this episode, Ben Hanson is joined by Leo Vader, Kyle Hilliard, and Jeff Marchiafava to unpack the biggest reveals from the Nintendo Direct Mini. While technically just a "partner showcase" focusing on third-party releases, there were several exciting announcements such as a collection of Mega Man Battle Network games, new gameplay from Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, a big farming RPG from Square-Enix called Harvestella, Persona 5 finally releasing on Switch, and more! Then we talk about a great parody of The Witness and what's happening to the developers of Pokémon GO. Then we answer a ton of great questions from the community submitted on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/minnmax Vote on The Deepest Dive here - https://bit.ly/3Adb5ql Watch and share the video version - https://youtu.be/jKNpHFlZluQ Help support MinnMax's supporters! https://www.iam8bit.com Ticket To Ride: San Francisco - https://bit.ly/3QnAe7l To jump to a particular discussion, check out the timestamps below... 00:00:00 - Intro 00:06:15 - The Nintendo Direct Mini highlights 00:10:48 - Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom 00:12:39 - Harvestella 00:18:44 - Disney Dreamlight Valley 00:20:49- Persona 5 on Switch 00:22:28 - Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope 00:28:20 - Little Noah: Scion of Paradise 00:30:49 - More Steamdeck impressions 00:34:24 - Return to Monkey Island 00:36:30 - Live A Live 00:39:58 - Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection 00:43:41 - PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC 00:45:53 - Even more Switch announcements 00:50:36 - Mario Strikers: Battle League 00:54:22 - Nintendo's 2022 release calendar 00:56:53 - The Looker 00:59:48 - Niantic's post-Pokémon Go challenges 00:00:00 - Community Kickoff 01:08:19 - Thanking MinnMax's biggest supporters 01:12:49 - Community questions 01:56:44 - Get A Load Of This 02:02:47 - Vote for The Deepest Dive 02:06:48 - The MinnMax Community Bike Ride 02:08:22 - New Patreon goal!
