More videos with these three ladies please. It's wonderful having them individually, but together they're just wonderful. Great discussions this episode.
Man, 2023 has been such a great year for gaming. And we still have games like Wonder and Sonic Superstars to come. In addition to a slew of great 3D titles. Seems like there’s been at least one great title in practically every genre and type of game this year.
I'm seeing a lot of articles online calling 2023 another 1998, or at least comparing them. I'm not quite sure it's there yet, but if even a couple of these upcoming heavyhitters manage to pack a critical punch... we may well be in that realm.
And just like that The Making of Karateka goes right to the top of my want to “play” list. Never would have even heard about it if not for y’all so thanks!
Bummed to hear that Cream of the Steam will continue its hiatus! It's my favourite segment of MinnMax (though yeah, covering that many game in such a short amount of time is difficult). I've purchased a handful of games because of it!
I'm kinda shock by Janet's and Kelsey's take on Mario Wonder. They're seriously the only 2 I have seen/listened to that gave a negative view on it. Everyone literally everyone including non Nintendo people I watch and listen to is over glowing about their experiences with Mario Wonder. A lot of those people went as far to say Mario Wonder is the best 2D Mario since Mario Bros. 3/Mario World. I do appreciate Kelsey saying she will have a different opinion on it once she gets the full game in her hands, but wow I was really shock by those negative takes, especially from Kelsey. Especially since literally everyone was glowing about their experience with it all over UA-cam and Spotify.
come on y'all, this new art style/direction for mario wonder is a massive improvement. that said, i do agree that it leans veryyy children's tv show. especially with cuter character models, talking flowers, and this being the first game off the heels of the more ...juvenile...mario movie
Enjoyed listening to y’all talk about magic! I have been meaning to write in about it. Just got into it again this summer for the first time since high school.
Regarding the topic about docu/compilation games inserted in the 2 tens, we should still include it in your year-end discussion. I'm all for celebrating the existence of a game that is a celebration of game history, this is an important angle and conversation that is valuable and is unique to Minnmax. Drawing attention to these kind of games and this part of the gaming industry is one of MinnMax's strengths and contributes to its identity in the vast world of game content creation. Reiterating these points in the year-end discussion will be greatly appreciated. If your concern is brevity, I'd rather you skip over mediocre games that Sony put out, tbh. They haven't been exciting at all.
I recently played Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen, and they have a saying that works for the question of 100 Bens, and that is: "Even in great numbers; a weakling is a weakling still!" Sorry Ben
Hey there Ben. Kinda of an off topic but this is driving me crazy. Some podcasts ago you talked about a song that always makes you cry. A song about aging. You said that the comments on the UA-cam video were really sweet. I loved the song but forgot the name and now can't find the podcast where you mentioned it. I know you read the comments so plz help!!!
Mario Wonder seems fine, but I agree with Ben. Maybe a little biased. But the 2D Mario’s have never grabbed me, I don’t know if this is moving the needle anyway
"bens angels" over here am i right? this is a reference to the television program "Charlie's Angels," in which 3 wemon fight crime and solve mysteries under the supervision of a mysterious man named "charlie." since ben is the only man on this episode and the other 3 guests are wemon the episode loosely paralels that shows cast dynamic. great show!...this show i mean..i have never actually seen charlies angels..well i saw the movie with Drew Barrymore. Tom Green was in one of them right?
Kelsey is an incredible addition to MinnMax. Thanks for the great podcast y'all
Ikr? She is the reason I started listening to the podcast
More videos with these three ladies please. It's wonderful having them individually, but together they're just wonderful. Great discussions this episode.
I'm 36 years old, I tune in to hear a bit about Mario Wonder, and this young lady starts saying I'm going to die????
What did we do to deserve this :(
Gotta love this group. The collective cringe when Ben said "there's only one way to find out- get lickin'!" was too good.

Great group this week.
All the women of MinnMax are amazing and I always love the insight and commentary from Kelsey, especially that old guard comment 😂.
this easily has to be one of the best years in games, it's so stuffed to the brim with stellar games
Two Tens is gonna be an absolute bloodbath.

51:51 "it's not jarring for me" 🐦 *CHIRP* 😂
Great show as always, can't wait to check out the PAX travelog
I hadn't really listened before Kyle Bosman hosted, but I'm glad he got me into it. This is such a funny and interesting combination of people
Great, thanks for sticking with the show!

Great lineup right here!
For video game parties: The school festival and finale celebration in Trails in the Sky FC were some of the nicest parties I've seen in a video game
Really great ep, thanks crew!
1:24:50 'Is it possible to make a party look fun in a videogame?' I'm nominating Red Dead Redemption 2: Arthur's drunken night looking for LENNNNNY!!!
I LOVE seeing a women led video game podcast so much 🤩
Thanks for watching!
@@Gameonysus always Janet! You being bold with your opinions inspires me to be more outspoken in my own life ☺️ Thank YOU!
33:43 today I learned I’m a Nintendo Switch Girl.
That neon frog chair on Sarah’s wall is so cool

It’s a very slight improvement it’s nowhere near massive. It even looks like a Wii game imo.

"Fun little adventure" is why Dragon Quest BTFO's Final Fantasy at almost every entry, especially post-cloud strife

Kelsey out here making threats.

I loved the song but forgot the name and now can't find the podcast where you mentioned it.
I know you read the comments so plz help!!!
Joni Mitchell - Circle Game
@@yozetty thank you so so so much
You just got yourself a new patreon subscriber

My 11 year old twin daughters like mario 3 on the Snes, they play that all the time
Can we stop bullying Octopath Traveler 2?
The New Nintendo 3DS had faceplates so Nintendo definitely has dabbled in it. Faceplates for docks sounds so smart.
Sea of stars does get pretty hard without using relics
When would you say that happens? I'm 9 hours in and am still finding it pretty easy
I'd say the Insomniac Spider-Man games portrayed parties well.
Was going to comment this and glad to see it already here
You should've watched the Wonder Direct Hanson and you would know the talking flowers say stuff like "I wonder what Goombas taste like".
Hanson did watch it. It's on the channel under 'Live'.
How'd he not mention this then?!
Woohoo MinnMax
Mario Wonder seems fine, but I agree with Ben. Maybe a little biased. But the 2D Mario’s have never grabbed me, I don’t know if this is moving the needle anyway
No fireworks for Joe
Saying it the way you’re saying it Ben makes me think of Erotic Karate. Maybe the way Mechner says it should be The Way.
You guys are crazy. Wonder looks nothing like NSMB.
It literally looks identical.
They literally don't.
You need an eye exam if you don’t see it.
You need the exam. It's a completely different art style.
I don't think Sarah enjoyed that spelling bee based on her response to the question.
I would say take out the camera put an oled screen you cowards.
Yay, first?
Thank you all for being honest on Mario. It’s a Mario game so I’m sure it’ll be good but the graphics are ugly. Nintendo needs that new Switch.
"bens angels" over here am i right?
