On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris talk about the double feature of Nintendo Directs that happened earlier in the week. Everything announced at both the Indie Showcase and the Partner Showcase will be detailed, scrutinized, and celebrated! How excluded were the guys about the Castlevania Dominus Collection? How amazing does Capcom fighting Collection 2 look? What are Morsels? How tall is Pizza Tower? All will be revealed!     

At the top of the show, it was Dean’s birthday! He decided to spend it talking to Dan and Kris about a weird rash on his hands. Apparently he’s allergic to certain Xbox controllers. Dan continued to deal with his cancer treatments, and got a big ol’ surprise from some of our listeners. (You know who you are!) And Kris got to spend some time with the upcoming Atari game Yars Rising, entered the world of online newspaper scans, tried to fix his dryer, and wrestled a basketball hoop.      

Finally, in Week Old News, Concord is unsurprisingly having a hard finding an audience. Apparently trying to ape Guardians of the Galaxy and Overwatch 5 years too late is a bad way to spend millions of dollars. Who knew? Plus, Activision continues to be the worst after it’s discovered they canceled a Crash/Spyro crossover game because Crash 4 didn’t sell a trillion copies, Argonaut is back with a fresh remaster of Croc, Sonic 3 gets a Keanu-filled trailer, and more. Enjoy!
