Episode 452: Goodbye Princess Leia, Hello 2017Episode 452: Goodbye Princess Leia, Hello 2017

January 3, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 6:59 pm

The year has ended, as the last podcast of 2016 was recorded last week, and released today. There’s much discussion that was cut out and saved for a future outtakes episode. Regardless, there’s plenty of show to go around, and the sound quality is also far better than ever thanks to Jonah getting a professional headset and mic.

This week’s news includes:

Nintendo registers trademark that could point to a SNES Classic Edition
Windows 10 may be getting a new “Game Mode” option
The next game by That Dragon, Cancer‘s dev is not what you’d expect

This week’s Question of the Week is “What game in 2017 might you buy that you normally wouldn’t?”

For the second week in a row, the podcast has had some technical issues. This time the problem was less, but there are still present. Part of the reason is that the mic is subpar, the other is that the PC it’s being recorded on has a damaged fan. That said, this week’s episode (and the unreleased episode) were really good. The unpublished one will be issued at some future date when we all need a break (maybe over the Christmas week.)

This week’s episode includes:

Assassin’s Creed 3 goes free, murders Ubisoft servers in the process
After Blizzard shutdown, legacy World of Warcraft server returns this month
Halo 5: Forge custom game browser is launching on PC this week
Report: Nintendo Switch will get GameCube Games

Let us know what your favorite 2016 game has been.
