It’s a news heavy episode this week as Google’s Stadia announcement dominated the conversation. We got a couple of announcements for games we’ve been waiting for, and it sounds like Sekiro is a good time if you’re into that kind of thing.

Microsoft is making some moves ahead of next week’s Game Developer’s Conference, so we break down two of the biggest headlines. First off, the Master Chief Collection is finally coming to PC, and Spence is STOKED about it. Then we finally get some confirmation that Xbox Live is hitting non-Xbox platforms, but Switch support may still be a pipe dream. Finally we wrap up with some channel talk about what we’re streaming, with a slight detour into raving about a particular Kingdom Hearts III speedrun (which you should watch at this link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09rqnMtbopg

Today we explore rumors that Microsoft is finally preparing to release an all-digital Xbox One S. We also debate the possibility of other consoles going all digital, and how those GamePass on Switch rumors aren't panning out like we hoped. Finally we get to something Alex is really excited about - playing PS4 on his iPhone - before wrapping up with some game discussion and what we're streaming this week.

We only got 7 minutes of info on Pokemon Sword & Shield, but there's plenty to unpack and discuss. The new region looks great, the starters are promising, and even though some lesser mechanics are returning, we're happy to see where it goes.

It's the end of an era with Reggie Fils-Aime retiring from Nintendo. It's not all gloom and doom though, as we break down some new rumors about Xbox coming to Switch (man even typing that out feels wrong but I want it. Mainly I just want to play Ori on Switch...

Later we dive into game's we've been playing - Spence has a lot of thoughts about Jump Force, while Alex has fallen completely in love with Fire Emblem.

Both of us have finished Kingdom Hearts 3 so here’s a long SPOILER discussion with all our thoughts about the game and the future of the Kingdom Hearts series.

Today it's all Nintendo as we recap all the games announced at Nintendo 2-13-19 Direct. Spence is really excited for Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Alex has mixed feelings about Dragon Quest XI, and Tetris gets a new battle royale (yes, seriously). Join us on this journey through Nintendo's 2019 plans.

A slow news week, but we cover Xbox Live doing something with Nintendo, Apex Legends surprising battle royale fans everywhere, and some follow-up on Kingdom Hearts 3.

You can watch us stream both Apex Legends and Kingdom Hearts 3 on twitch at twitch.tv/brotherlyloveg1
