This week is plagued by the Mark of the Beast, but next week’s will be a giant landmark, too. No Gaming Flashback, but a lot of legal happenings in the past week.
The news includes:
- USB-C charging ports will be required by law in the EU for most portable tech from 2024
- NetherRealm’s next game won’t be revealed during Mortal Kombat anniversary events
- Cyberpunk 2077 sequel is why there’s only one expansion, says dev
- Nintendo has updated eShop rules on adult content, publisher says
Let us know what you think.

This weeks gaming podcast, we’re talking a bit about E3 but not enough to make you sick. We’re curious to the fate of the E3 event, is it really done or will it live on? We’re finishing up the RPG history and we take a look back at the Atari title KABOOM! Was he catching bombs with a box, barrel or pie?
Nintendo’s new rules seem exceedingly strange when you consider Chaos;Head Noah apparently failed Steam’s standards and practices, but was immediately picked up for the Switch.
Steam has since reversed the decision, but still!
