326: Mario Golf Super Rush, Sea of Thieves and Revolutionary Game Mechanics

Mario Golf Super Rush is the new Mario Golf game on the Nintendo Switch. It comes with new characters,  different environments and a few new game modes like Speed Golf and Battle Golf. We also try the new DLC for Sea of Thieves. It's called A Pirate's Life and is a crossover with Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean! 

In the news, we talk about Sony acquiring Housemarque and the announcement of Ghost of Tsushima's Director's Cut. We also take a look at rumors of a new Control multiplayer.

In the discussion, we talk about a topic submitted by a reviewer on Apple Podcasts. Fox asked about us exploring game mechanics that are commonplace today and where they were introduced.  We cover everything from Zelda to Deus Ex. Thanks for the feedback!
