The Third Player Games Podcast crew has a great show for you this week!  Josh & Amy are a bit busy to play any games other than Red Dead Redemption 2. Jeffers picks up the slack this week and delivers an interesting mixed bags of games this week. Breath of the Wild, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Undertale for the first time & so much more!

 

In news we talk about a new feature in Sims 4, obviously, Amy is excited! Somehow players are still discovering things in Bloodborne, despite the game being almost four years old. We also talk about the weird decisions EA is making about Battlefield 5, PlayStation Now is way more popular than you think and PUBG is coming to PS4. Then of course we play a rousing round of What’s That Video game, the Jeffers edition!

 

Are you excited for Super Smash Bro. Ultimate?! We sure are! In our rotating segment, we guess the five future DLC characters of the game, but that’s not at all. After that, we give our five probably never going to happen but wish they would characters!
