Lots to talk about this week, starting with the Nintendo 3DS press conference update, where we go over the system's features before its launch next year; some light mudslinging from Bobby Kotick and EA; NBA Elite's delay and NBA Jam's new life; and in the second half, an honest-to-god discussion about new games we've played, including Ubisoft's Outland, From Dust, and more; Castlevania Lords of Shadow; Enslaved, and we forget what color taupe is.

Sharkey and Tina talk about Iwata's 3DS comments, Beyond Good and Evil's HD return, Jeremy's Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light Review, and new Red Dead Redemption Zombie DLC.

Fresh from Nintendo's big 3DS (re-)unveiling in Tokyo, the 8-4 crew is ready to drop all kinds of knowledge on the upcoming portable picked up at and after the show. Opinions on the price and date? You got it. Breakdown of all the new hardware features? Natch. Analysis of games and other announcements? Sure. List of questions used to point out show highlights? Done.

Jeremy joins Tina to discuss Nintendo's 3DS announcements, zombie mode for Call of Duty Black Ops, a Matt Leone haiku, and a creepy Dead Rising 2 video.

When did at1UP become a news show? And now they're a "humpday" extravaganza? Outrage. At least there's plenty of comics talk about Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, and the NYCC. Also, the crew checks in with the Funnier-than-Outsourced Hotline.

Frank and Sharkey discuss new PSP 2 developments, EA's revised NBA Jam plans, our Dead Rising 2 coverage, and a ridiculous Minecraft creation.

Sharkey and Tina break down the Activision v. EA battle royale, Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer reunited, PS3 3.50 update killing older MadCatz controllers, and our new weekly Pokemon Black/White blog.

Chris, missing? Boo! But Matt Leone gladly fills in on this week's show! We make fun of the TGS gallery, Halo Reach sales in Japan, Batman Arkham City, Medal of Honor being banned on military bases, and we take call-in questions!

Somehow, Beastmaster and Master of the Universe make it on the show, starring Tina Sanchez and Scott Sharkey.

The thread is packed to the gills this week, as we open with TGS leftovers, Who's Beaten the Donkey Kong High Score This Week, the Michael Jackson MMO, Billy Blanks' Wii game, the iffiness of GOG.com's death and return, Netflix in Canada, and tangents, tangents, tangents!
