Since the podcast recording last Wednesday had audio issues and the news was, frankly, boring, the crew decided to record a new 464th episode on Easter Sunday, after some more interesting stuff was announced near the end of the week. That, and Scott expresses his enthusiasm for Thimbleweed Park, the spiritual successor to Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle, using a SCUMM-like interface.
This week’s news items include:
- Diving into Project Scorpio’s backwards compatibility, 4K, VR, and 1080p support
- Nintendo discontinues the NES Classic Edition
- It looks like Star Wars: Battlefront II will ditch the Season Pass
All that and some Listener Feedback.
