With multiple rumors and possible leaks about new Nintendo Switch hardware flying around, we finally break our vow of silence and talk about what may be next for Nintendo. The Nintendo rumor scene has a pretty mixed track record, but ignoring all the leaks and rumors we think it's still pretty obvious that a successor is coming sooner rather than later. We talk about realistic scenarios for when we might see announcements and releases, and reasonable expectations for what it might be.

It's once again Jeff, Justin and Sam discussing the big character developments in the latest 2 episodes of The Last of Us - Episode 6 'Kin' and Episode 7 'Left Behind', in which we get to see the vulnerable side of Joel and explore some Ellie's tragic past.

Brittney and John are here with the latest installment of Final Fantasy's beloved rhythm game spinoff series, and spoiler alert: it's nothing short of a masterpiece. It's a love letter to Final Fantasy, and to Square Enix in general, bursting at the seams with some of the best music in gaming history.

This week it's Jeff, Justin and Sam reacting to the explosive latest episode, one that sees us to the conclusion of the 'Summer' portion of the story.  Among the topics are our impressions of the extra screen time for Henry and Sam, Kathleen's further development, and those intense final scenes.

There was a massive Nintendo Direct and we're gonna talk about it. That's the only thing that happened this week that we want to talk about, so that's the only thing we talk about.

This week's cast - Jeff, John, Dio and Sam - discuss what may be the first simply 'good' episode, following in the shadow of three great ones.  Topics on deck include the new leader of the bandits, Kathleen, the relationship between Ellie and Joel, and the setup work this one is doing for what will likely be an explosive next week or two for the series.
