All Elite Arcade TNT

This week on Arcade: Uno managed to trip and fall into an animal-filled well last week, but he survived, and now he’s here to give his full review of Bigmode’s Animal Well. Meanwhile, Chugs is currently double-fisting two epic titles: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Dark Souls 2. 

Afterwards, the boys talk about their impressions of the Assassin’s Creed Shadow premiere trailer, the release of Braid: Anniversary Edition, Playstation and Helldivers 2 crushing sales records, the Xbox 360 store shutting down, the announcement of the new Mortal Kombat 2 movie, and downloading ZX Spectrum games over radio airwaves.

Following that, Chugs and Uno recap their favorite, god-tier controllers of all time.

We got another great episode of Arcade this week as Chugs and Uno are joined by their good friend, Giant Bomb's Dan Ryckert, who also remembers when Uno slandered Kojima a few episodes ago!

The guys talk about their experiences playing Minishoot Adventures, Hades 2 (Early Access), Vampire Survivor's latest Contra expansion, and the metroidvania that may have just redefined the genre and was made by one person: Animal Well.

Plus, and this is not a drill, the Switch 2 has been confirmed in the most un-Nintendo way ever, Sony pulls an Uno reverse card (no pun intended) on their decision to force Helldivers 2 PC players to link a PSN account, and the Video Game Hall of Fame have selected their 2024 inductees.

And lastly, we get into the absolutely soul-crushing news for the game industry last week as Microsoft has shut down four studios at Bethesda, which include Arkane Austin (makers of Prey, Dishonored, Redfall) and Hi-Fi Rush developer, Tango Gameworks.

The boys then unpack the latest in gaming news:
- Miyazaki's bittersweet announcement regarding Elden Ring's upcoming expansion
- A new Batman Arkham VR game in this economy?!?!
- Helldivers 2 getting review bombed
- 7-11 and Tetris are collaborating because why not?
