I get Dan's logic here on the mainline Mario thing, but his mistake was counting Mario 64 as the next mainline Mario when it was the beginning of a new series, aka the 3D Mario series. They're a completely different style of game from a traditional 2D Mario platformer where instead of moving to the right and jumping on a flag pole or a goal at the end you're navigating a 3D space and collecting Stars or SHINEs and usually re-entering the same location immediately to play a different permutation of the same stage. NSMB and Wonder are entries in the mainline 2D Mario series and it's as simple as that.

Not a cake guy myself, but if I have to have one give me a confetti/funfetti cake

ice cream cake no thank you

A new mainline Mario is what would have pushed the Direct to an A for me

Zelda is fine and Metroid is great, but at the end of the day I'm always looking for my man Super Mario.

If @jeffgrubb is into illicit sports then it may be finally time to check out Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden - Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa.

@janman maybe for Season 2 after each Thursday show gets uploaded have links to the 3 prior shows from earlier in the week for those who want to catch up on Narrative Continuity.

All I'm hearing is Bakalar isn't confident enough in his driving to multi-task

Grubb never brought up the skill tree. He had 17 levels to spend!

"Character Action games peaked with DMC4"

oh Rorie...poor poor Rorie. No wonder he doesn't play them anymore.

It's best to just play Trails in release order

The 3 Sky games first

Then you can play Zero/Azure and Cold Steel 1/2 in any order

but then make sure you've played all those before you play Cold Steel 3 because that's when all the plots from all those games really start to come together in an MCU Avengers style fashion but JRPGs

@jeffgrubb where can I get that amazing Wario shirt
