Episode 164 | SNES Classic, Cuphead & Community Questions

This week on the show, it’s just the three core hosts as we answer questions from the community. Are achievements really important? What developers would we like to see tackle other franchises? What games are good for child development? We answer those and more!

News this week includes our thoughts on the Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer, the hacking of the SNES Classic Edition and Andrew House leaving Sony.

Games we played this week include:

• SNES Classic Edition
• Maize
• Steamworld Dig 2
• Cuphead
• Hob
