About this episode
Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this week's special episode, Ben Hanson is joined by the co-director of the Video Game History Foundation Kelsey Lewin and Digital Eclipse's Editorial Director Chris Kohler to try to better understand Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto. This isn't an interview with the man, unfortunately. We talk about our experiences interacting with the creator of Donkey Kong, Mario, and The Legend of Zelda and share insightful quotes from interviews he's done throughout the decades. This is inspired by this week's big premiere of the Super Mario Bros. movie from Illumination. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
