In this episode of The Game Informer Show, we discuss our latest cover story for Super Mario Bros. Wonder! Brian Shea has spent more time with the game than anyone outside of Nintendo and spoke with members of Nintendo about creating the big step for 2D Mario. Then we kick Brian out of the show to welcome Wesley LeBlanc to tell us about his experience with Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Wesley has finished the game (and it took him less than 20 hours) and has thoughts on the game’s strange place in the pantheon of Assassin’s Creed games. Lastly, Alex shares his latest Pokémon card escapades and decides who in history he can successfully fight.
