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 gaming podcast covers a bit of the Microsoft Press E3 news, a tiny portion of our own opinions on Kinect and a slight bit of a gaming flashback on Beat ’em and Eat ’em, an Atari 2600 “game.” A game by any other name would have to be a porn… and that’s as close as we get to one. This weeks news includes:
- DreamCast games coming to PSN and Xbox Live
- Sony trying to bribe people to buy a PSP Go
- Activision‘s Indie Game Competition is Sneaky
- Microsoft partnering with Disney and Star Wars
- Microsoft releasing an Xbox 360 Slim
- Next Assassin’s Creed due out in November
- E3 Microsoft Media Conference
Question of the week: Does Kinect sound more desirable with all the new information and rumored pricing make you consider the purchase?
