There's a new hero coming to the big screen and it's not "Black Panther." Gamespot's Justin Haywald joins Cheddar to discuss Nintendo's plans to make an animated Super Mario Brothers movie. He explains what the company will have to do differently to avoid repeating the disastrous 1993 live-action Mario movie. Nintendo just announced it's adapting Mario Kart for mobile. The managing editor reveals whether he thinks it will rise to the top of the App Store once the game drops. He also breaks down the gaming giant's financials after it reported higher-than-expected earnings. Fans of "Red Dead Redemption" will have to wait even longer for the long-awaited sequel. Rockstar Games announced the title won't hit stores until Fall 2018. Haywald considers whether the news means the title might disappoint gamers when it's released.
