🕑 Added 2025-08-21 14:33:42 +0000 UTCI share my honest thoughts on Drag x Drive, we talk Kirby Air Riders, Gamescom, when Metroid Prime 4 will come out, and more!
On this slightly longer than usual episode, Dan and I dig into Kirby Air Riders and a bunch of the reveals at this year's Gamescom including LEGO Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight. We also talk about a new Fast & Furious game that is basically just more Cruis'n Blast from the same developers, Indiana Jones on Switch 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong resurfacing, and more.
We also debate metroidvanias (hot take alert) and I share my verdict on Nintendo's new IP on the Switch 2, Drag x Drive!

I really liked Hollow Knight early on, the feeling of exploring below and slowly mapping out the areas was really neat at first, but thought it overstayed its welcome. Couldve easily been an 8hr experience with the amount of biomes present, theyre all kinda samey. Half way through my 30hr play through I was just slogging along so I could finish it. Also, thought the DLC was poorly implemented. I 100% what was out at the time, but it was confusing how to access what they added after that point. Silksong seems to remedy that samey world though from what we saw in those trailers years ago. Hope its less bloated
