This Week: It’s a feel good episode, we’ve finally got our Link and Zelda for The Legend of Zelda movie, we got our first look at the Mortal Kombat 2 movie, Ubisoft responds to the Stop Killing Games movement, and a Tekken 8 senior citizen league tournament steals our hearts. Victor Lucas joins me to break it all down, it’s This Week in Gaming!

It's safe to say that Sean has gone Bananas for Donkey Kong Bananza as he has impressions of the first weekend with the game. How fun is all the destruction? Do the transformations make it even better? And does it deserve the Game of the Year hype it is already getting? There are plenty of other things, mainly from the Xbox and Ubisoft side. Xbox adds games and features, along with perhaps even greenlighting Fallout 5 already? But did it come at a high cost? Sean and Marc discuss. Ubisoft also finally made it official with their first "Creative House" that puts their biggest franchises in a different company, while pretty much everything else stays with Ubisoft. What does it all mean? And does it really make a difference in the long run? Nintendo also cast its two leads for the 2027 Legend of Zelda live-action movie, the Mortal Kombat II Trailer dropped, Ubisoft has greenlit the Assassin's Creed live-action Netflix series, the saga continues for Subnautica 2, and much more on this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/F87VhOpljzw

Jeff Grubb and Tamoor Hussain end your week with some video game news! They chat about a grip of Nintendo news like the upcoming Zelda movie, mysteries regarding the C button, and Switch 2 preorders popping up in Canada.

Nintendo has officially set a global release date for its highly anticipated live-action The Legend of Zelda film: March 26, 2027. The announcement was made Friday through the company's newly launched smart-device app, Nintendo Today—marking a shift in how the gaming giant is choosing to break major news.The film, first revealed in 2023, is being co-produced by Shigeru Miyamoto, the beloved co-creator of the Zelda franchise, and veteran Hollywood producer Avi Arad (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse). The duo has reportedly been working behind the scenes on the adaptation for years.At the helm of the project is director Wes Ball, known for The Maze Runner series and the upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Ball has stated his vision for Zelda will be a more grounded take on the fantasy world of Hyrule, with an emphasis on practical effects over heavy CGI. His aim, he says, is to make the film feel “real” while staying true to the core of what makes The Legend of Zelda resonate with generations of fans.While many anticipated a flashy reveal on traditional platforms like YouTube or Twitter, Nintendo's choice to use its Nintendo Today app may signal a new era in direct communication with fans. The app, which requires a Nintendo Account and is available now on iOS and Android, appears to be the company's new central hub for major announcements and updates.This isn't the only film project in the pipeline. Nintendo is also teaming up again with Illumination for a new animated Super Mario Bros. film, scheduled to arrive in theaters on April 3, 2026. Miyamoto recently hinted the sequel would “broaden Mario's world” with a story that's “bright and fun.”The twin projects—Zelda and Mario—underline Nintendo's growing confidence in its cinematic universe, and the company's ongoing effort to expand its beloved characters beyond consoles.

Happy Monday, Zelda fans. This week, we've got a breezy show that focuses on Okami's return at The Game Awards and our thoughts on the state of Geoff Keighly's show, what we thought the high points and low points for the Zelda franchise were in 2024, and what we can expect to see from the series in 2025 - everything from the debut of the Switch 2, possible casting news in the Zelda Movie, ports finally coming to Switch to fill time, and maybe even a new Zelda game announced?? Come and hang with us, and just FYI - no new show next week, as we're taking the week off for the holidays!
