Wed. 08/26 - Nintendo drops a surprise third-party Direct and next-gen games will probably be $70

It’s the last week of Gaming Ride Home, and I apologize if that news has caught you off guard. I would recommend listening to the beginning of the Friday August 21 episode for more details there.

Nintendo shared a surprise Direct this morning focusing on third-party publishers, there is more evidence that next-gen games are probably going to cost $70, Oculus seems to be rebranding, and The Sinking City’s developer is butting heads with its publisher which has lead to the game being delisted.
