“Hello, and welcome back to another new episode of The Nerd Stash Show. This week, the crew decides to change up the format of the show and skip talking about the news and focus on a long-form topic. In the spirit of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2, it’s time to break down what gaming franchises that need to make a triumphant return. You won’t want to miss this one.

Before that, there is one piece of news that’s too big to pass up talking about. Mario’s 35th anniversary! Nintendo decided to celebrate! How? By FINALLY announcing the long-rumored bundle of classic titles, titled Super Mario 3D All-Stars! Plus, Nintendo announced so much more. Let’s a go!”
