Episode 157: NES Classic Addiction

Matt, Ethan, and Ricardo return still kind of in the lull after E3. Matt has been punching Max Brass in his fist-shaped head, Ethan has been shredding monsters with the power of metal, and Ricardo is considering paying money for gems to unlock treasure chests. That, plus an SNES Classic on the way from Nintendo (with enough to sell this time they swear,) a Tumbleseed redo, and more!

Games we played:

Matt: Wolfenstein: The New Order, ARMS, Mass Effect: New Earth aka Mass Effect the Ride

Ethan: Pokemon Go, Brutal Legend

Ricardo: Clash Royale
