We get started off with some non-gaming news about Game of Thrones and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which is apparently singular according to the director. We don’t believe him.

Speaking of Star Wars, Star Wars Battlefront II has been announced. Unlike the previous game, this one is going to include a single-player campaign and the star of that game mode might surprise you.

It looks like Nintendo is getting ready to make a SNES Classic Edition. We talk about how that might relate to the discontinuation of the NES Classic. Blizzard surprised everybody by making StarCraft completely free months before it was supposed to be. And GTA 5 is being used to help train driverless cars.

Nintendo gave us lots of details on upcoming games, including Arms and Splatoon 2. They also gave Kirby some love for his 25th anniversary. But, if there’s one thing Nintendo does well, it’s making its fans sad and that’s because the NES Classic Edition is no more. But it’s not all about Nintendo. Microsoft has started distributing Project Scorpio dev kits, and is making promises to developers that it won’t be any more work to develop for than the Xbox One. There’s also a huge spring sale going on and it looks like the Xbox and Windows stores may soon be offering refunds on digital downloads. Blizzcon details have been announced. There’s another event happening in Overwatch. And, finally Journey to Un’Goro is live.

The Switch is facing some problems. Turns out if yours breaks, you’re likely to lose any save data for games. Lesson: try not to break your Switch. Final Fantasy XV’s DLC is getting interesting by taking some of the key characters in a different direction. In other news that is not really news. Destiny 2 has been announced. Blizzard is also launching a high-end collectible store. Tetris can help with PTSD and finally there’s going to be a My Little Pony tabletop role-playing game. No, seriously.
