Welcome to Nintendo Voice Chat! This time, Tom Marks is joined by Zach Ryan, Brian Altano, and Seth Macy to talk about the Nintendo news of the week. First up, the panel discusses the crazy news cycle surrounding Cooking Mama: Cookstar, including its appearance and disappearance from the Nintendo Switch eShop, early reports of bitcoin mining within the game, and a whole lot more.

Then, they move on to talk about Nintendo reducing the number of eggs you’ll find in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and news about LEGO Mario’s release date and pricing. After hearing about the panel’s recommendations from the eShop Spring Sale, stick around to hear your questions answered on another round of Question Block.
