Big Walk, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Halo's Future

https://www.patreon.com/minnmax - We'll DM you a Switch 2 or Steam code for Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector if you're a new supporter at the $5 tier or if you upgrade to the Backstage Pass tier. Offer ends 8/10/26. MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Haley MacLean, Kelsey Lewin, Jeff Marchiafava, and Jacob Geller kick off the big show by raving about their puzzle-solving adventures in the new open-world exploration game Big Walk. Then we unpack the biggest surprises in the Nintendo Direct for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave on the Switch 2, boot up our old PC-brains with Desktop Explorer, weigh the pros and cons of Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation, and more. Then Kyle Hilliard joins the show and we talk about Halo: Campaign Evolved, canceled Halo projects, and whether there's any path forward for Xbox's iconic series. Then we answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week! You can win a prize and help make the show better by supporting us on Patreon and submitting a question! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax Watch and share the video version here - https://youtu.be/E1TrKkgjBlI Learn more about MinnMax's PAX West panels and Seattle meetup in this public post - https://www.patreon.com/minnmax/posts/come-to-minnmaxs-165858157 Learn more about the BDS Xbox boycott - https://bdsmovement.net/news/boycott-microsofts-xbox Help support MinnMax's supporters! https://www.iam8bit.com - 10% off with Promo Code: IAM8BEACH https://www.factormeals.com/minnmax50off- 50% off with Promo Code: MINNMAX50OFF https://store.steampowered.com/app/2783280/Cat_Secretary/ - Check out the Cat Secretary Demo To jump to a particular discussion, check out the timestamps below... 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:43 - Fields of Mistria 00:04:00 - Get a code for Citizen Sleeper 2 00:05:11 - Big Walk 00:28:55 - Factor Meals 00:30:43 - Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave 00:36:16 - EA's rocky future 00:40:57 - Desktop Explorer 00:50:05 - Beast of Reincarnation 01:01:58 - Bills Must Be Paid 01:07:57 - Machine Party 01:10:19 - Denshattack! 01:13:00 - Ad: Cat Secretary 01:14:21 - Halo: Campaign Evolved 01:33:25 - Thanking iam8bit - https://www.iam8bit.com/ 01:35:17 - Community questions 02:16:15 - Get A Load Of This JeffM’s GALOT - https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/after-laying-off-battlefield-6-developers-ea-pays-its-ceo-usd38-million-because-battlefield-6-did-so-well/ Haleys GALOT - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoTG_FvDO_k Ben's GALOT - https://fontsinuse.com/uses/10529/tootsie-roll-pops-legend-of-the-indian-wrappe Kyle's GALOT - https://www.merriam-webster.com/time-traveler/ Community GALOT - https://insider-gaming.com/halo-studios-hit-by-layoffs-after-campaign-evolved-launch/ https://insider-gaming.com/halo-studios-hit-by-layoffs-after-campaign-evolved-launch/ Disclosure - Games discussed on MinnMax content are most often provided for free by the publisher or developer.
