We’re knee deep in summer this week, and that sadly includes a particularly barren release schedule for July. So instead of a playing a new release for our weekly Wednesday livestream that begins at 3pm PST, we’re going to play an older game that embraces summer more than most: Super Mario Sunshine. Released more than a decade ago for the GameCube, Sunshine isn’t everyone’s favorite Mario game, but there’s fun to be had, we swear! Watch as we and Mario clean up the beach, and we’ll be answering your questions as we play. Maybe we’ll even sing our favorite summer songs. We’re pretty partial to Mungo Jerry.
