The Super Mario Sunshine Trial Finale Verdict | Guilty or Innocent?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The trial comes to an end.
Last week, the prosecution brought the first wave of evidence against Super Mario Sunshine, arguing that one of Nintendo's most beloved GameCube games is guilty of crimes against the player experience. This week, court is back in session as the prosecution presents new exhibits, surprise witness testimony, and one final argument before the jury reaches a verdict.
Can the defense convince the court that Sunshine deserves its place among Nintendo's classics, or will it be found guilty once and for all?
Along the way, we also talk about what we've been playing, including The Legend of Korra, The Quarry, Keyboard Warrior, Swan Song, and more.
