Mario & Luigi Brothership was the last major release of the year that the guys were excited to get their hands on, and they did just that about two weeks ago. Kevin has put nearly 35 hours into the game, while Sean has played a great deal less. They both give their thoughts on their time with it so far, and dive into how it compares to some of the other Mario RPG games that they have played. Also, for the first time in a long time, there was some actual gaming news to discuss! Sony may be looking to acquire FromSoftware, Phil Spencer says no games are off limits in terms of migrating over to PlayStation, and Death Stranding got a surprise release on Xbox 5 years to the day from when it launched on PS4!

The seemingly inevitable has finally happened, as Sony made it official that Concord would not be returning in any form, while also announcing that they have shut down Firewalk Studios barely a year-and-a-half after acquiring them. Neon Koi, formerly known as Savage Game Studios, was also shut down despite Sony stating that Mobile gaming remains a focus for their business. On top of all that, word broke late last week that Brian Horton, Creative Director for Insomniac's Wolverine, had left Insomniac to take over as Creative Director for Perfect Dark at The Initiative. To put it mildly, there seems to be trouble in paradise over at PlayStation, and the guys give their thoughts on all of the moves. Other topics include Kevin's shoulder surgery (!!!), Vampire Survivors, Castlevania The Dominus Collection, Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, College Football 25's continued sales dominance, and lots more!

The Plucky Squire is a game that the guys have had their eyes on ever since it was announced. The concept of jumping back and forth between a children's book and the real world always sound fantastic, but how does it fare once you get your hands on it? The guys go through their full thoughts on the game and how it compares to their expectations. In other news, Sony's long-rumored State of Play finally arrived and finally delivered by showcasing a lot of titles that are, at the very least, intriguing before ending on an extremely high note. Other topics include why Kevin is living in The Truman Show, PlayStation finally announcing 30th anniversary consoles and accessories, getting the Platinum in Astro Bot, and the recent leak of the design for the Switch 2/Super Switch.
