SIXBUTTON

After wall-glitching our way through winter break, we catch up on games, rumors, and speedruns.

HOT TAKES ON STAR WARS

We buy into the TGA hype trailers and DO NOT APOLOGIZE for it. We get stoked on games. Welcome to SIXBUTTON! More Super Punch-Out, 'cause it released on Switch Online and we had not idea.

We've been playing Into the Breach, Modern Warfare, and, of course, Super Punchout.

Did we talk about Punch Out for 45 minutes? Again? Maybe.

These Mandalorian Hot Takes are so spoilery, they can't even be described here. Trust us, this episode is out of control.

Hot takes on the hottest video games mess.

We go deeper into what it means to be an S-Tier video game, and what keeps a game out of the S-Tier.

I finally picked up Breath of the Wild, and it's the only thing I've been playing. It's a masterpiece that sparked a discussion about what it takes to be the Greats Game of All Time. -Dez

PS: Yeah, we really should have talked about The Witcher 3, Deus Ex, and many others. Stay subscribed, because we will have a lot to say about those games in the future.

In this episode we review the Switch Lite! Spoilers: it's good. Also, Steamworld Quest is good. Also: is Marior Kart Tour a gacha nonsense mobile whale hunting trash app? And how many streaming services is too many?

Our favorite news from the latest Nintendo Direct. Old games are better because the don't use exploitative gacha mechanics.

What is gacha?

We dive into WoW Classic, refreshed by its difficult but rewarding gameplay. Then we do Disney's job for them and talk about Star Wars for a good half hour.

Dez and Jase figure out gaming tvs, talk Genesis Mini, play Samurai Shodown and Mario Maker 2, and come to the conclusion, once again, that Nintendo Switch is the best console.

Have we turned the corner on WoW Classic? Do we really miss vanilla Wow?

Video Games are weirdly mainstream, and it shows up in weird places. Like Sports Center.

MtG Arena is becoming the best digital card game, even better than SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash 2.

Also? Is the Vita the best handheld that no one's playing? It is if you love PS One games. Or weird Japanese visual novels.

Finally! The Switch Lite gets officially announced. Does it meet our expectations? Is it a snap buy? A hard pass?

Also, bad MMOs, WoW Classic, Teamfight Tactics, and more.

Why do PC hardware names have to be so complicated? Doesn't matter. Just buy whatever card is $500 at the time. Also? Why can't we stop playing DOTA Underlords? Are we alone in this? Or is this game just that good? Spoilers: it's just that good.
