The 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. is on Sunday, Sept. 13, and Story Mode is celebrating! From the surprise Nintendo mini direct to our memories of the game to whether Mario is a role model for us all, there's lots to discuss about our favorite Italian plumber.

But that's not all! We FINALLY got a release date for the XBox Series X and Series S, and the price is turning a few of the cohosts' heads. Also on the agenda is the big shadow drop of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, EA's latest ad scandal, yet more Epic vs Apple drama, and a rumored standalone JoyCon (*insert Ryan Reynolds "but why?" gif*).
