Welcome back to The MinnMax Show podcast! We have a big episode for you this week, as Ben Hanson, Jeff Marchiafava, Kyle Hilliard, and Janet Garcia unpack the news that Microsoft has acquired Activision Blizzard and rave about the new action RPG Nobody Saves the World. Then we're joined by the co-director of the Video Game History Foundation Kelsey Lewin to talk about RPGs on the GameBoy Advance like Mother 3 and Tomato Adventure. Then Sarah Podzorski jumps on to help us answer community questions submitted on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
