NEP 030: Mario Kart Tour VS Team Sonic Racing

Hello, my green and red shells! In this episode of NEP, we're talkin' kart racing since both Mario and Sonic have games out! We also discuss mobile gaming in general and Nintendo's approach to microtransactions; we then talk the state of the Sonic movie being pushed back to February 2020. Oni and Galen have plenty of opinions, and you sure don't need to agree with them, but come on and eavesdrop on our conversation anyway! Thank you for 30 episodes!
