The new episode was recorded last Wednesday but only posted now due to server issues. In this edition, Jonah, T.J., and Scott all geek out about Civilization VI. They also weigh in fully about the newly revealed Nintendo Switch, and speculate on whether it’s going to be a purchase. (Short answer: depends on how much it costs.)

This week’s news items include:

Bethesda says “no more” to advance game reviews
Nintendo pins financial hopes on selling 2 million Switch consoles at launch
Microsoft announces a VR headset for $299

This week’s Question of the Week: “Are you ready for VR?”

In Episode 552, there was no TJ. This time, Scott has to duck out early in the podcast, leaving a two man podcast again. It’s all good since the quality is still there. (Maybe not.) There’s also a Gaming Flashback: Burnout Paradise.

This week’s news includes:

Anthem reportedly set for major overhaul as BioWare looks to reboot its troubled game
Minecraft Dungeons will be supported long term with a mix of free updates and paid DLC
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is coming to Steam

Let us know what you think.

This week is a shorter-than-usual show as Paul S. Nowak is away on a birthday vacation. Instead, Jonah and Jordan discuss the Sega Saturn game Burning Rangers, and the following news topics:

Dragon Age III will be a ‘mix’ of the first two games
GameStop developing console and PC game streaming
Is the Xbox 720 chip set?
Sony on when they’ll consider the PS4
Developer sez industry is failing female gamers

There’s also reader feedback and the Question of the Week: What do you look for first in a game’s bullet-point features? Also, check out some of the outtakes after the show ends.

Unfortunately, Skype decided that since Jonah’s webcam was connected, he wanted to use the webcam’s mic instead of the actual mic Jonah uses, making it sound like he’s in the next room talking to the others. It’s unfortunate, since this was the 350th episode of the Videogame Roundtable and longtime co-host Paul Nowak took the time from his busy schedule to join in the landmark episode.
