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.

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!

This week we’ve got the Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect and we thought we’d do a quick review on a couple of the titles we picked up. We’ve dug up some history on the Game Com Handheld, comment on some community feedback and hit the news:

More MMORPGS using the free to play model
Microsoft convinced Kinect will sell better than awesome
Sony hopes Nintendo’s 3DS does well
Microsoft Kinect Selling out

This week’s question of the week, have you ever caved into the peer pressure, press and “sold out” signs to pickup a piece of hardware, software or other device?

Reports: Microsoft plans cheaper, disc-free, white Xbox Ones in 2014
Nintendo cuts overheard on executive salaries

The Question of the Week, “What was the best game you played that you felt was unfinished?”

This week’s edition is a little different, in that there’s no set format, just a roundtable discussion of the past week’s events. TJ raves about Owl Boy, Jonah talks about N7 Day and the new Mass Effect: Andromeda revelations, and everyone on the podcast discusses how games have really been a disappointment this year and not much is coming. Oh, and a $99 3DS coming for Black Friday.
