Metroid Primary Master is an action game from former members of the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive team you play as a riot squad in like future Hong Kong. The only weapons are heavy machine guns and uh katanas sure and you just slice and dice your way through a world that looks like how video games looked in the PS2 era but through the lens of Unreal Engine 4 or 5 "It's truly bizarre I am in disbelief by it," he says."I can't recommend people you know rush out to buy it because I believe it's full."

The Yakuza series has a new name. "Like a Dragon" is a literal translation of the original Japanese title Ryu Ga Gotoku. Returning to where things started fits the latest release: a remaster of Like a Dragon: Ishin, an action-heavy spin-off set in the Late Edo. The historical setting and standalone story make Ishin a compelling starting point for a series we love. For the back half of the episode, Frush and Plante share their recommendations for listeners preparing to dive into the Game Boy and GBA games now available on Nintendo Switch Online.
