Between the Switch 2's arrival, hours of Summer Game Fest streams, and Brad's return from checking out many games (and one above-it-all cat) in Los Angeles, a single podcast episode can barely contain all this discussion, but we do our best to cram in chat about Mario Kart World, Resident Evil: Requiem, Lumines Arise, an impromptu ranking of Nintendo console launches, and a bunch of other stuff.
