We're back baby and its time for video games. We kick things off with a chat about the latest Indie World Showcase from Nintendo and how it might be one of the best ones yet with shadow drops and release dates aplenty. Nbz gives his very early impressions of one of those shadow dropped games - Axiom Verge 2, before both Bally and Nbz wax lyrical about surprise hit Dodgeball Academia! It's a Sports RPG meets Pokemon meets My Hero Academia and is wonderful. After the break we dive into some of your emails talking about small team indie developers as well as how Nintendo can create more experimental entries in their most beloved series.
