Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel

Episode 117: Nintendo Direct Mini

This week the boys go over the first Nintendo Direct for 2018, including remasters of The World Ends With You, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Dark Souls, DLC updates to Pokken Tournament, Mario Odyssey and Mario+Rabbids, new games like Mario Tennis and Kirby: Star Allies, and more! We also cover some holiday break game suggestions from The Filth, and introduce a brand new segment for the show - The Sealed Section - where we go into spoiler-laden detail in our reviews of Doki Doki Literature Club and What Remains of Edith Finch. Don't worry about timecodes, it's all placed after the episode would normally end, but if you've not played these games then do not venture into the Sealed Section unless you're ok with hearing full spoilers for both games!
