Square-Enix continues to deny its true fans.

James is out this week, as he decided to (in his own words) "live large, peace suckazzzz". We don't have to like it, but we maybe have to respect it. But probably not.

This week's New Business has Greg discussing Splatoon Raiders and Goemon Collection, Gui talking Mario Tennis Fever and Absolum, and Jon finishing Great Circle and beginning Halo Campaign Evolved.

Email dives into what the next 2D-to-3D shift might be, why Square Enix can't decide if it wants to provide upgrades for old games or not, and which games might benefit from an upgrade using Switch 2 features.

Don't worry Gui, after people play the AI game made just for them they won't need or want to talk to other humans about it. They'll have AI friends and groups with whom to discuss it! They'll do the same after watching the AI movie made just for them, listening to their AI song, reading their AI book (well, maybe not that one), and consuming their AI-generated news and history as well.
