Super Joystiq Podcast 097: Mario Kart 8, Wolfenstein The New Order, Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor

This week's Super Joystiq Podcast wonders where Ben Affleck's Batman falls in the Mario Kart continuity.

We've known for a few weeks that Mario Kart 8 is good, and now it's finally hitting shelves. Ludwig, Xav, Anthony, and Mike team up, Justice League style, this week to discuss Nintendo's latest kart racer, and go over differing opinions on Wolfenstein: The New Order. Also on-tap, Xav talks about forthcoming standalone PS4 Killzone expansion Intercept, and Ludwig gets deep in Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor.

Also, stick around to the end for the announcement of winners of last weeks giveaway, and a bonus movie talk segment covering the disaster that is Zack Snyder's career.
