Also in this episode, we react to all these actors that were leaked for The Legend of Zelda movie. Does this mean a Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct is coming, and soon? We also react to Nintendo's most recent financials. We're also playing some great new games including Final Fantasy 14 and The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered!

Today we want to dig into the inner workings of video game reviews. How does this whole thing actually work and especially with Nintendo, how do they work with reviewers? There seems to be some misinformation around this so hopefully we can set the record straight. Also in this episode, we discuss Sony's latest comments on the discontinuation of physical games and we're playing the brand new Game Freak game Beast of Reincarnation.
