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
