On this episode of The Gaming Duo, Rob (@ridicrob) and Kelvin (@foxphotons) talk about the game that’s got everyone putting down Mario Kart—Donkey Kong Bananza. The new Switch platformer dropped last week and has taken over social media and review sites with glowing praise.

We also unpack a new report revealing that FromSoftware is deep into development on a secret project codenamed “FMC.” Could it be a Dark Souls III remake, an Armored Core VI expansion, or something totally new? We look at the evidence and what it could mean for the future of the studio behind Elden Ring and The Duskbloods. Also in the mix:
