Mario's Minute 085 ft. CrunchBite - XLink Kai History, Wii U & Steam Deck Love, XCAT Talk

First episode of 2025 and we're starting off with a guest episode featuring CrunchBite, the owner and operator of all things XLink Kai! We talk a LOT about XLink Kai including some of the legendary fixes CrunchBite has implemented, our histories with it, the history of XLink Kai itself, how wild it got with PSP support, and more! We've got love for the Wii U as well as the Steam Deck, so we take some time to discuss those. We also set aside a chunk of time to discuss the awesome XCAT project for Xbox, and perhaps some upcoming XCAT360 talk... Tune in and listen for yourself!
