We discuss continued support for existing games, specifically Overwatch and Splatoon 2. With new weapons and characters always being added we could play these games forever... and we just might have to if we want to keep up.

Our discussion involves
1. Splatoon 2's and its ongoing support
2. Overwatch and its ongoing support
3. How continued updates and expansions affect us?
4. Our final thoughts

---------------------------------------------------------------

Details/podcast spoilers:

Jess raves about Overwatch, is pro Doomfist, and loves how Overwatch is new player friendly while respecting ranked players who are in it for the long haul (ex. Doomfist wasn't immediately available for ranked play because he might not be balanced just yet). Janet loves Splatoon 2 but between the hats, shirts, shoes, guns, game modes, and maps, she's starting to realize her dreams of being the best Splatoon player in the midwest may be a bit unrealistic.

In many ways, on going content rewards players who are here to stay by keeping them entertained but (sometimes) inadvertently punishes players who try to jump back in (uhhhh... what's happening???). If you want to be a diverse gamer these title might just ruin your life in the best way possible. It's hard out there for a heroes and squids.

We discuss the end of handheld consoles and (yet) the popularity of handheld gaming.

Our discussion involves
1. The future of handhelds or lack thereof 1:35
2. Our favorite handhelds 15:44
3. If this is the end, what now? 26:30

---------------------------------------------------------------

Details/podcast spoilers:

Janet doubts a handheld console will ever return but ultimately thinks the ball is in Nintendo's court. Jess claims handheld consoles aren't dying because the Nintendo Switch has given them a form of new life. Both of us reminisce over the days of GameBoy carrying cases, long car rides, and so many gaming accessories. And finally, we decide that it'd be good to get in to mobile gaming (the overlooked handheld) but neither of us know wuite how to seek it out.

We discuss the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and how we feel about remasters in general.

Our discussion involves
1. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy 5:08
2. Our favorite remasters 12:51
3. What kind of games should be remastered? 20:20

---------------------------------------------------------------

Details/podcast spoilers:

Jess played Crash 2/3 as a kid but was never a big fan. She hasn't played the N. Sane Trilogy because she doesn't have a PS4 but she wouldn't be dying to play it, even if she did. Janet loved the old games but hates this one. While the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy looks gorgeous (all the coding was done from scratch and that's damn impressive) it controls horribly. Playing the game feels clunky and the depth perception issues cause way too many cheap deaths. In the end the N. Sane trilogy is all frustration and no satisfaction. 0/10 would buy again.

But things aren't all horrible. We love when our favorite games get remastered (like the Jak trilogy or Skyrim) and love it even more when there are bonuses added: see: new Pokemon/features and Skyrim mods. Plus remasters can be a nice way to get around to last gen/older games without having to do a visual downgrade.

But when it comes to remasters there is such a thing as too soon... we're still buying it though so I guess, at the end of the day, we are the problem.

QUESTION: How did you guys feel about the N. Sane Trilogy? What are your favorite remasters? And what do you want from remasters? Let us know!

We go over all the info we have about the SNES Classic, what games we are looking forward to, and are we buying this system.

The console releases September 29th, 2017. It's 79.99 but comes with two controllers and the following 21 games:

Super Mario World
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Metroid
Earthbound
Final Fantasy III
Super Mario Kart
Secret of Mana
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Mega Man X
Street Fighter II Turbo
Super Punch Out
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island
F-Zero
Kirby Super Star
Contra III
Castlevania IV
Donkey Kong Country
StarFox
Super Ghouls ’N Ghosts
Kirby’s Dream Course
StarFox 2

What's the story on preorders for all our American friends? We've yet to find out but suspect they will happen soon.

We discuss Why StarFox 2 never came out.

Janet gushes over the SNES which was her first console EVER. Obviously she's hyped for Yoshi's Island, Kirby (because he's adorable and freaking amazing), F-Zero, Donkey Kong, and Super Mario World (for the culture). And even though she has never played it she's ready to jump into Super Metroid, Star Fox 2, and more.

Jess is all about that Donkey Kong Country which she used to play to Shania Twain (why? no one knows. This is just what she did). Plus Kirby's Dream Course is going to be a blast since Jess was a pro as a kid. Super Mario World is also on her replay docket which she played when she was 15. Jess is ready for the glory of Yoshi's Island, Super Metroid, and more.

We both need to hit up Earthbound.

Our plans?

Janet dreams to pre-order it: flip one and keep one but that's a lot of dreaming.

Jess wants the console too and thinks it'll be easier to get than the Mini NES was but Janet is more cynical.

What are your thoughts? Will you buy the SNES classic? What games are you excited about?
