The Weekly Stuff #207 – Destiny 2, Metroid Samus Returns, Nintendo Direct & More!

We’re back after a week off and returning to our old Monday timeslot with a jam-packed episode. After Sean gives some final thoughts on Yakuza Kiwami and we speculate about the possibility of the It cinematic universe, we cover a week-and-a-half worth of news, including the passing of acting legend Harry Dean Stanton, some big movie announcements, and a Nintendo Direct presentation with some very cool surprises. Then it’s time for some game reviews, as Jonathan gives some impressions on the outstanding Metroid: Samus Returns, and we both go deep with Destiny 2. We’ve been covering Destiny since the very beginning, back with the Alpha in the summer of 2014, and it’s been quite a ride to see the game come this far, and culminate in a sequel this confident and enjoyable.
