There are no news items in this podcast. Instead, it’s just post-E3 discussion. Everything is E3. What the crew liked, what the crew didn’t, and T.J.’s reports from doing the show floor. The episode is almost 2 hours long, so there was a lot to talk about.

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?”
RUMOR MILL: Wii 2 Controllers to Have Cameras?RUMOR MILL: Wii 2 Controllers to Have Cameras?
Some leaked documents are showing that the Wii 2 controller will not only have screens on them, but front facing cameras, too.
According to Escapist Magazine:
According to a source that Develop calls “close to the matter,” the controller for Nintendo’s next console will have a front-facing camera, which will be used for creating in-game images.
This comes after weeks of speculation about the new console and its controller, and the source also claims to be able to confirm some of those rumors. Supposedly, the controller will indeed have a large, 6 inch touchscreen (stylus perhaps included) and a standard button layout, as was first rumored about a month ago.
With a touchscreen and camera, the new controller sounds suspiciously like a Nintendo DS or 3DS, and the source believes (but does not know for sure) that the handheld may be able to be used as a controller for the console. “The functions are the same,” he says. “It is a standard wireless controller added with a front-facing camera and touch screen. That sounds far too much like a 3DS to me. But I can’t confirm this, Nintendo is being very cautious about the details.”
Let us know if you believe this rumor.
