This week! CJ's back after an unplanned trip to the ER. Plus: Netflix and Sega team up, the Steam Frame gets a price, Xbox hands Halo to Activision amid more layoffs, Meta reveals its VR Glasses, Tetris Effect goes mixed reality, and Castlevania turns 40. Then Greg wraps up Wolverine, CJ gets his RPG fix with Final Fantasy IX and Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, and we answer listener questions about one game forever vs. six months of everything, Midway-era sports games, and dormant franchises. Join us, won't you?

Such a CJ Complaint
This week! Nintendo drops not one but TWO Directs, headlined by the Ocarina of Time remake, the 40th anniversary Switch 2 and Pro controller, Metroid Ravenous, Kirby and the World Beyond, and a pile of Switch 2 upgrades and updates. Sony cuts Kojima's Physint loose only for Xbox to grab it (monkey's paw move?), Moss developer Polyarc shuts down, and IKEA releases a Skyrim mod starring a Kallax shelf voiced by Matt Berry.
