Did Nintendo try to steal the show, only to stumble? Is the Wii U just an expansion for the Wii, with only enough extra horsepower to run the GamePad screen? Did Sony and Microsoft play it too close to the vest, or can we expect something greater from them in 2013?

Sean and Vinnk talk about the ups and downs (sometimes it feels like mostly downs) of E3, Vinnk's game of the show Project P-100, and all of the reasons we tell ourselves that E3 wasn't that great, even thought we just really wanted to be there in person.

There will be no Nintendo NX at E3 2016, but they will be showing up the new Zelda Wii U game. Which will now also be an NX game.

Sean and Vinnk wonder what this means for the release of the next installment of the Zelda series, if the full NX system will launch in March, or just one component of the rumored handheld/console hybrid. Also, more Zelda in Pile of Shame, and a decidedly non-Zelda game is Vinnk's Future Retro!

Can a movie based on a video game ever be any good? If their Rotten Tomatoes scores are to be believed, these films are never critical darlings. Some find fans in niche places, but many are just... you know... BAD.

Vinnk and SeanOrange plumb their memories of video game movies to find out if either of them belong to the "so-SO-bad-but-I-still-love-it-even-though-geez-it-sucks" club!

Could consoles ever be like smart phones? Smart phones cost more, but are subsidized, and people use them all day every day. Could that work for dedicated gaming hardware?

Sean and Vinnk explore the possibilities that a 4K iteration of the PS4 could offer, and respond to rumors about the Xbox One following suit. Vinnk shares a Future Retro on the Famicom with a framerate better than a PS4 running at full HD resolution, and Sean laments the number of games languishing on his PS4 hard drive.

If Sega were still making consoles today, what would they have brought to E3?

When we last left off, SeanOrange had quasi-seriously prophesied that the Wii U might be the next generation's Dreamcast. With rumors of a new Microsoft console being announced by E3 2012, will those fears come to pass? And would that be such a terible thing?

Vinnk and Sean reminisce about the final days of the Sega Dreamcast, and what a current-day Sega system might be like.

In a word, no, but don't worry: we'll totally qualify that position.

Nintendo's financial troubles in 2011, and initially slow sales of the 3DS, followed by its steep price cut have renewed perennial calls for the company to forego the hardware market and release its titles on other platforms.

SeanOrange and Vinnk discuss whether or not such a move would be vialbe for Nintendo, and if the company is leaving a lot of money on the table by not embracing the iOS market.

The Nintendo PlayStation, the rising price of retro games, the merits of Patreon, a new haiku, and your questions!

Aside from the obvious genre implications, there are all kinds of references and in-jokes that developers make tweak the noses of their customers, and get them fired up for their games.

Vinnk and Sean invite Satoshi Matrix to talk about fanservice (both kinds), and some of the most fanservce-y Future Retro (again, both kinds) we can think of. And somehow Vinnk combines Future Retro and Pile of Shame.
