For the Aftershow this week we spend a little more time talking about the Nintendo Entertainment System. If you have an idea for a game we can play in the Aftershow, email it to us at playeronepodcast@gmail.com! Thanks for your support!

This week! CJ and Greg dig into the grim Xbox news as Ninja Theory, Compulsion, and possibly Double Fine face closure, more executives head for the exits, and Senua gets paraded in front of potential buyers. Then it's lighter fare: GTA VI preorders, a Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Switch 2 port, the long-overdue Switch eShop fix, and Dispatch's HR Violations update. On the games front, the guys cover LEGO Batman, iRacing, Parking Garage Rally Circuit, Pragmata, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Gitaroo Man, The Legend of Kage, and much, much more. Join us, won't you?
