Episode 167 | NeoGAF, South Park & Mario Spin-offs
On this week’s episode of The Gaming Outsider podcast, it’s just Scott and Josh as they cover the latest news, what games they’re playing and our From the Outside In topic.
News this week includes the dumpster fire that is NeoGAF and the controversy surrounding its owner. Activision may be implementing some shady new practices into microtransactions with a newly discovered patent. Also, we discuss Xbox One’s original Xbox compatibility and our experiences with it.
Josh gives his final thoughts on South Park: The Fractured but Whole and also dives into WayForward’s The Mummy: Demastered. Scott discusses finishing Golf Story on the Nintendo Switch and gives us a bit more details on Middle Earth: Shadow of War.
Finally, to celebrate this week’s launch of Super Mario Odyssey, we wrap it all up with a discussion about our favorite Super Mario spin-off games.
