Main Quest! Call of Duty Black Ops IIII has been announced and apparently they don’t know how Roman numerals work!

With that, Chad and Holden discuss what they feel has become tired and stale in the gaming industry from genres, franchises, and gaming tropes.

Speaking of Star Wars…

We have TON of quests this week in our Quest Log!

Not one but TWO earnings calls from Nintendo and Sony. Nintendo has a new President and lets us know when we can expect to hear about their online service. PS2 finally coming to PS Now. Oculus Go gets a stealth release. Platinum Games announces a new mobile game. Radical Heights sheds players. Hackers break into Switch. There’s so much to talk about!

We even had to create a new segment counting down to E3, which is cleverly called Countdown to E3, to bundle all E3 stories into one section each week while we await the show.

This week’s Main Quest focuses in on Nintendo’s decision to continuing 3DS support way past what it needs, but we offer up some reasons why they might be maintaining support.

Reminder that this month’s Backlog Accomplishments with Respawn and Friends (BARF) will be Super MARIO RPG! If you want to share your thoughts on the game feel free to tweet @RespawnAimFire or email us at [email protected].
