Back from our holiday break to a massive show with tons of news and a cool interview!
The show kicks off with us being joined by our friend Ryan “Wood” Underwood to cover the huge news of the week, the Nintendo Switch! We cover all the news including the $299 March 3rd release, system information, game announcements, as well as adding our own impressions as well. Lots of potential with the Switch for sure!
We also cover the other huge news of the week with the cancellation of Scalebound on the Xbox One as well as Shovel Knight and Binding of Isaac news, Injustice 2 getting a release date, and TEN new games being added to the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility lineup including Mega Man, Dragon Age, and Battlefield! Plus Featured Games!

All that and we STILL have an interview as Enrique Corts of Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team joins us to talk about their new game Rise & Shine, a gorgeous 2D shooter out now on Xbox One and Steam with Adult Swim Games.
