Don’t Miss the Switch 2’s Hidden Gem
Plus, Plante's love for the Switch 2
Listen to this week’s episode
Mario Kart World is getting all of the attention at the Nintendo Switch 2 launch. But if you look deeper into the Nintendo eShop, you’ll find another excellent racing game for a fraction of the price. Fast Fusion reimagines the futuristic fun of the Wipeout and F-Zero series. This week, The Besties discuss this $14.99 surprise, along with revisiting the Switch 2 following more time with the hardware.

Ahh the episode last week convinced me that I don't need a Switch 2 and now you're pulling me back in?! My non-video game playing wife did completely unprompted tell me that "there's a cow character in Mario Kart now" so maybe all the signs are aligning.
As a sidenote, I really want to love Poker Face but Natasha Lyonne's recent very entitled anti-transit/anti-bike screed on Everybody's Live with John Mulaney grossed me out so much that I need to take a break from her.
