This week James is off tending to some personal business, so Jon "The Professional" Lindemann steps into the host's chair to bring the podcast a modicum of class. An organized, thoughtful, and reasoned three-man podcast ensues.

On the New Business front we've got Greg kicking things off with his continued thoughts on The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Gui then follows that up with Dragon Quest XI S and a step back in time (pun intended) with Chrono Trigger (he just can't get enough of Akira Toriyama, apparently). Jon then finishes it off with his thoughts on the surprisingly controversial Ori and the Blind Forest. Friendships are broken on this podcast; let the healing begin.

This weeks' mailbag features inquires about online lag in Super Mario Maker 2, why former rappers are making HDMI accessories, Nintendo music on streaming platforms, and the recent bankruptcy of AlphaDream. You can contribute to our professional and moral bankruptcy by sending us an email.
