We got another great episode of Arcade this week as Chugs and Uno are joined by their good friend, Giant Bomb's Dan Ryckert, who also remembers when Uno slandered Kojima a few episodes ago! The guys talk about their experiences playing Minishoot Adventures, Hades 2 (Early Access), Vampire Survivor's latest Contra expansion, and the metroidvania that may have just redefined the genre and was made by one person: Animal Well. Plus, and this is not a drill, the Switch 2 has been confirmed in the most un-Nintendo way ever, Sony pulls an Uno reverse card (no pun intended) on their decision to force Helldivers 2 PC players to link a PSN account, and the Video Game Hall of Fame have selected their 2024 inductees. And lastly, we get into the absolutely soul-crushing news for the game industry last week as Microsoft has shut down four studios at Bethesda, which include Arkane Austin (makers of Prey, Dishonored, Redfall) and Hi-Fi Rush developer, Tango Gameworks.
