Episode 67 - Tears Of The Kingdom Is Just More Breath Of The Wild (And That's Okay)

Since the first trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, we've known that the game is basically going to be more Breath of the Wild. In fact, when it comes to selling audiences "more of the same," nobody does it better than Nintendo. But is that really a bad thing? We're joined by Kenny Thomas of the Leetist Podcast to debate the merits of iterative sequels, as well as discuss what we hope to see from the next big entry in the Zelda series.

We'll also be talking about how sales of the PSVR2 headset are off to a slow start, how Monster Energy is once again starting beef with a game developer over its name, the news that a new live-action Street Fighter adaptation is on the way, and how Shigeru Miyamoto cruelly teased new Mario games for "future Nintendo Directs."

Finally, Kenny quizzes our gaming trivia knowledge in "Wikiliteration."
