Summer Game Fest And Mario Kart World Reactions (Feat. Rogersbase) | GI Show

In this week’s episode of The Game Informer Show, we tackle 2025’s biggest week yet. Not only did the Switch 2 launch and Summer Game Fest happen on the same week, but we relaunched our Game Informer magazine subscriptions, and can confirm our first issue will be out later this month! Hosts Alex Van Aken, Charles Harte, and Marcus Stewart also discuss their favorite games they played at Summer Game Fest (including Resident Evil Requiem, Ninja Gaiden 4, Pragmata, and Mixtape), and their hands-on impressions with Xbox’s new handheld device.

The trio is also thrilled to be joined by Rogersbase to discuss the Switch 2 launch, including his thoughts on the console, his favorite parts of Mario Kart World, his theories for Nintendo’s 2025 plans, and his passion for Donkey Kong. Thanks for joining us, Roger! You can find him on YouTube and Twitch.
