Pokemon, Smash Bros. and… I’m sure I’ll think of something…

• 2:50 – Pokemon’s “sell two slightly different versions of the same game for full price” scheme has always been crap but at least the DLC isn’t as bad as it could have been, right?
• 25:57 – Super Smash Bros. Ultimate announces it’s final DLC fighter of the first wave: another dude with a sword from Fire Emblem
• 58:54 – Resident Evil 7 gets my vote for best DLC (albeit, overpriced)

7:08 PMotritzu​200 ‘new’ pokemon each.

7:34 PMotritzu​Hero’s more magic than sword, for all that he uses it.
