Nintendo Direct (Zelda, Mario Golf), Marvel’s Avengers, Mortal Kombat Movie

For the first time in a very long time, we have a Nintendo Direct to discuss. We break down all the games shown and announced in a rather heavy RPG leaning showcase.

Also, this week: Bungie announces plans to expand, Marvel’s Avengers announces the PS5/XBX and Hawkeye expansions, and we break down the first trailer for the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie. Ciaran has also been playing Valheim, which has taken the internet by storm this past week, and he explains what makes this Viking survival game so much fun.
