This week on The Kaito and Red Show, we dive into the latest gaming news and video game discussions, including why players choose consoles over PC and why full-price games are becoming harder to sell in today’s industry.

We also talk about the surprise Star Fox Direct and discuss whether a 20-hour campaign could hurt 007 First Light.

On the games front, Red needs to have a serious word with Kaito about the Mass Effect 3 DLCs after a listener email revealed he had no idea what he was actually playing. We’re finally nearing the end of Mass Effect 3 and will wrap up the journey next episode. Meanwhile, Kaito finished Fire Emblem Engage and unexpectedly jumped into Mario & Luigi: Brothership, a game Red never touched.

For this week’s Question of the Week, we discuss our favorite video game controllers and what really matters in controller design. Kaito’s answer left Red a bit speechless.
