Episode #19

from ClubCast with Video Game Book Club · host Clay and Daniel

We made the trip to Hamilton Ontario this year for ConBravo! Nintendo announces some new bundles for all the collectors out there, but are some of them just too late to the game? We're getting a New Nintendo 3DS bundle with Super Mario 3D Land pre loaded and 2 pretty sweet faceplates for $149.99 -- which is pretty solid. BUT, we are also getting 5 new amiibo bundles, which seem pretty silly. Old game, bundled with old amiibo for $39.99 -- which isn't a terrible price, but still. Nintendo announced an NES Classic Edition a while back, and we are finally talking about it. 30 games and 1 controller. $59.99 -- Releasing 11/11 Pokemon GO is huge, but is Nintendo holding out on the Pokemon GO Plus accessory too long? Will the hype be over before the wearable is even available. Also, it's $35 and sold out on Amazon. Pokemon dropped a bomb on us with new Alola region variations of some of our favorite Pokemon! The Nintendo NX has some new rumors leaking out suggesting a September reveal for a March 2017 launch. 16-bit goodness Sonic Mania was announced as well as a very dark looking game titled "Project Sonic 2017" were both announced. Let's be honest, they say it isn't Generations 2 ... but it's basically Generations 2. At least from the images we've seen. The XBox One S 2 TB version is here for all to enjoy. But if you don't have a 4K TV, is there really that much to enjoy? Will the power dynamic between XBox and Playstation change any with the upcoming releases of the Scorpio and Neo systems?  Can the Scorpio sway the long time Playstation fans, or will the Neo pull the XBox fans over to Sony? Are there really any good co-op games out there for the PS4?  Sure, if you are interested in online multiplayer or co-op ... but what about those old school people that still want to sit on the couch and play a game with friends? There aren't that many good couch co-op games left anymore, and that is really sad.
