Perhaps the biggest release of the entire year is finally here! @TheOuterhaven's Scott Adams (find him on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sithscott) joins Sean to discuss his first impressions of Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, thoughts on what's being done to all of the Korok's, and of course if this is the correct way forward for Link and company in the future.
Although there are some other Nintendo news bits to get to, The EU handed down their decision in the Microsoft Activision-Blizzard Deal and it has passed with a few remedies, one of them is that Microsoft must provide access to ABK titles to any and all Cloud streaming companies for at least the initial 10 years. Does this provide an avenue to pass the deal in the USA and UK? What did the CMA have to say? And will Cloud Gaming even matter in 10 years anyway?
Speaking of new gaming habits, Nintendo's Switch and Valve's Steam Deck have spurred quite a few competitors, but Asus ROG Ally looks to perhaps be the closest one yet, and it is releasing June 13. Although it carries a hefty $699 price tag, if it succeeds, could it lead to a major adoption of Portable Gaming devices? Would Sony or Microsoft benefit from this? And could it really be in for a fight with the Steam Deck?
Plus, learn about Scott's gaming origins and Our Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Thoughts, Mortal Kombat 1 is a thing, with more game delays, and Scott and Sean have been playing other games too, such as Bat Boy, Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord, and more!
