Denzer enthusiastically enjoys. The despicable firing of Alison Rapp is also noted from the unaired podcast recorded last week.
This week’s news includes:
- Former head of Rockstar North sues developer, alleges $150M in unpaid royalties
- Oculus apologizes for Rift shipment delay, taking steps to speed delivery
- The Nintendo NX might include Wii U ports
- Forbes claims Nintendo NX will likely output 4K

It makes sense for Sony to try to push themselves away from being classified with the Wii console because it makes them look bad. We’re all equal gamers here, there is no need to break into more sub-categories when only three consoles vying for top spot.
