Crash Bandicoot 4, Pokemon Unite, Top 10 3D Platformers
On this week's episode of The MinnMax Show, Ben Hanson, Suriel Vazquez, and Kyle Hilliard are joined by Sarah Podzorski to talk about her journey to localizing games like Undertale, Monster Hunter: World, and Xenoblade Chronicles X in Japan with 8-4. We cover the surprising announcement of the MOBA Pokémon Unite, discuss Crash Bandicoot 4 and the best/worst fourth entries, and then run down the MinnMax's community's top 10 3D platformers of all time. We also talk about the infuriating amount of harassment and abuse in the video game industry. Then we open up the Minnbox and award the iam8bit question of the week! You can win a prize and help make the show better by supporting us on Patreon and leaving a question! https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
