Nintendo Labo: What it is, how it works, and why it's good.

Teased by Nintendo as a "new interactive experience" that is "specially crafted for kids and those who are kids at heart," Nintendo Labo seems at first to be a very strange meshing of papercraft and DIY robot building.  Utilizing unique features of the Nintendo Switch console with custom cardboard cradles and housings, you'll be able to transform the video game console into a myriad of devices with new functionality, creating new gameplay experiences in the process.  It's kind of the reverse end of what the public thought Nintendo might do with custom switch joy-cons for certain games, instead adapting the unique functionality of the joy-cons themselves.

E3 2015 Press Conference Review

With E3 going into wind-down mode, the folks here and Pixel Loadout decided to do a quick review and breakdown of each individual show and conference for this year.  We had some absolutely monolithic announcements to show for this year, but how does everything stack up when it's all said and done?

VGR 5.10

Nintendo Direct for April gets a rundown for all those things to look forward to (especially with a delayed Zelda),  Fire Emblem is confusing, and Pillars of Eternity is striking up some interest in some of the cast.

VGR 5.05

We stretch out interests out a bit to talk about the Marvel Cinematic universe, get our hopes up for Fallout 4 (again), and have some first impressions for Evolve, Apotheon, Sunless Sea and Darkest Dungeon.

VGR 503

So January managed to get pretty busy right near the end there.  While Kevin is knee-deep in the dead and online CCG's, everybody else is getting irate about the kerfluffle that is the Nintendo Creators Program.  Hear our thoughts on this, along with other news of the week, and some cool music to boot!

VGR - Season 1 Finale

Well, it's the end of our first season of shows, but we go out with a bang by having Trey, DJ, Miguel and Ren in the studio, as we play some of the best music from our theme shows, as well as some new tracks to boot.  We also roundtable Nintendo's decision to go on hiatus at E3.

I'd like to take this chance to thank everybody who's listened, supported, and guest hosted on the show this spring,  I couldn't have done this without all your help.  I'm hoping to be able to get a 2nd season going soon, but for now, we'll be taking a break for a while.  Make sure to check back soon for more details.
