Nintendo surprised us with a new look at the Super Mario Movie this week, and it got us all more excited than the previous reveal. That’s just good marketing, friends. We also talk about the glaring performance problems with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and how some of our favorite games haven’t always had the best, or even good, performance. On top of that Seth makes a compelling case for Sonic Frontiers as Game of the Year.

Whats Super Mario?
Super Mario Bros. is, a console game created by the Japanese electronic game manufacturer Nintendo Company, Ltd., in 1985 for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The game, based on the arcade game Mario Bros., helped launch one of gaming’s most popular franchises. It stars Mario and Luigi, two Italian plumbers in the Mushroom Kingdom trying to rescue Princess Toadstool from the evil King Bowser. It is one of the best-selling game series, with more than 40 million copies sold.
In the original Super Mario Bros., solo players pilot Mario, and an additional player can play as Luigi. The game is based on a series of side-scrolling levels, each filled with enemies ranging from mushroomlike Goombas to evil turtles known as Koopa Troopas. The levels take place in different settings, some in dungeons and some above ground, with fights against Bowser impersonators at the end of castle levels. Once the imposter is defeated, a Mushroom Kingdom resident informs Mario or Luigi that the princess is in another castle. The game is completed with the defeat of the true Bowser and the rescue of Princess Toadstool.

Pokemon is at its potential to be Open World sorry Game Journalists you don't speak for us! As a Pokemon Fan Pokemon Scarlet combined with PLA should be the future of Pokemon.
Might pick up Sonic on Series x now 👀👀 thanks Seth
a nice comment
Watching this while knowing the results of the matches was hilarious, Poor Peer
Also Reb likes Wrestling? #RebSupremacy
Great show, great energy! Had me laughing throughout. Nicely job
Didn't realized Reb wasn't already part of the regular cast, but congrats!
Glad that Reb is officially getting her name on a froggy chair, always enjoy listening to her takes
love the show keep it up!
Here's a nice comment for you Seth!
Seth killing it.
Someone watches AEW! Great show as always.
The Sonic Appreciation Society, the epitome of Seth Entertainment!
When can we get NVC – Pro wrestling edition?
My guess for the Mario movie is a mid-credits Rosalina appearance setting up Galaxy sequel and also setting up a future Smash thing and an end-credits goofy scene with Wario and Waluigi.
Wrestling is a sport and an art.
Congrats to Reb. Thanks for repping us in KC!
Reb is very passionate, isn't she?
Thank y’all luv yall
Seth understands what Real Ultimate Power is all about!
Reb + Kat + Seth + Peer = 🐐 lineup
The nominations are kind of a joke honestly. Tunic should have gotten nominated for game of the year…
What you guys aren't understanding is that in this movie, Mario is a real life "plumber from Brooklyn New York" so he's not going to have the persona of the Mario in the video games. He's getting acclimated into the mushroom kingdom. This will also be the highest grossing movie of all time.

Yay! Congrats Reb! This is a great panel.
Love this show!
It is obvious that Nintendo next console will be a hybrid like the Switch but they need to avoid the mistake of the Wii U.
Holy talk fast.
Seth's sonic monologue – quality NVC content.
Mario Party: A Knives Out Mystery
Glad to have Reb in a Froggy chair at the round table!
Seth Macy is a legend
Seth with the Nardwuar reference. Doot doola doot do
Missed NVC last week – so nice to have another episode with such a great panel! 🎉 I’m also playing through Sonic Frontiers and really, really enjoying it. In fact, it might even be in my top 5 games of the year.
Please tell me Rebecca won’t be a permanent thing.
Toem is my favorite game-I-forgot-to-play-last-year-that-I-finally-played-this-year. A simple but fantastic game.
Seth is a great host, brings new life into NVC
41:55 Rare is just an awful developer. Possibly the most overrated studio ever.
Also great show. One of the best!
Great episode!
You guys rock!
Hey super Ninfriendos! Glad you’re back. This is Leslie …. from Costa Rica so the torture was all mine! 😂 Great seeing you all back again. Love the show and love you all. (Even if we are out of the World Cup)
Seth's new Game Awards the "Macey's Game Parade"
Fun show.
I still need it explained to me why Mario & Luigi are the Mario Brothers?
That part confuses me way more than it should 😆
I'm curious to know how Reb will score SwSh
