This week’s episode was recorded on time, but publication was late thanks to power outages again. There’s no discussion of Nintendo’s $70 cardboard arts and crafts project (that’ll be the subject of the next episode), but a Switch emulator does get some discussion.
The news this week:
- Battlefield 1 is setting one of its maps free this week
- LEGO Incredibles 2 and DC Villains games reportedly in the works
- BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle has nabbed a Western release date
- Stardew Valley creator teases multiplayer
This week’s Question of the Week is again “What popular game did you play long after its initial release?”
Microsoft’s fast to push out their press release, probably hoping to overshadow any reports Sony may be releasing for sales numbers. At this point, we’ll have to believe their press release as fact until someone proves it otherwise; Microsoft would hate to be caught in a lie. Unfortunately, NPD figures aren’t collected in Europe so we have to wait for all the other metric gathering companies to release final December 2007 figures.
