We unfortunately have to start this week's episode with the brutal cuts at Xbox, which saw studios shuttered and projects like Everwild and Perfect Dark straight up cancelled, but also touch on Donkey Kong Bananza and the next 3D Mario game, get way deeper into Death Stranding 2, try to make sense of the increasingly fantastic casting for the new Street Fighter movie, and more.
