A Look At Nintendo’s Year Ahead, Plus Overwatch’s Big Overhaul | The Game Informer Show
It’s a jam-packed show this week, as 2026 is running full-steam ahead. Alex, Marcus, Charles, and Eric sit down fresh off the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase to share their reactions and favorite reveals, then Charles divulges some details from a recent Nintendo preview event where he played a slate of the handheld’s upcoming games.
After the break, Alex discusses what he played of Overwatch’s big overhaul — so massive, it’s dropping the “2.” And to cap it all off, Charles talks about the long-awaited launch of Mewgenics, and Marcus shares his thoughts on Nioh 3 so far. It’s a feature-length episode of The Game Informer Show, so grab a cold beverage and enjoy.
