Molehill Mountain Episode 49 – Mario Kart Needs More Road Rage

This week, Nintendo made a reasonable localization decision. I know, we were surprised too!

28:17 – Nintendo replaces obscene gesture in Mario Kart 8

34:26 – No Destiny 2 on Switch because the game is online-only

39:52 – World of Tank devs are using copyright in order to censor harsh criticism

8:14 PMeathdemon​platnuim is hinting at a new game

8:14 PM13Ucube​if you predict things that you know, you shouldn’t be wrong

8:14 PMjordan thompson​at this rate Nintendo is just waiting for the generation that knew f zero to die out , then as the last human that knew about it dies off they make f zero 2200 on the Nintendo Wii switch u 64

8:15 PM13Ucube​Do you think the Japanese version of the Twinelle has less clothes?
