Then we enter the "Xbox Power Hour" and discuss all the Microsoft news before heading into hands-on.

Lastly, in honor of Black History Month, the panel discusses what the celebration means to them, the challenges of being a black content creator online, and the importance of education and activism with their platforms...and yes, the oatmeal raisin cookie debate rages on. Follow Riana Manuel on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/rianatweetsnowWatch Riana stream on Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/rianatwitchesnowFollow Kahlief Adams on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/kahjahkinsWatch Spawn on Me on Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/spawnonmeFollow Parris Lilly on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/vicious696Watch Parris on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/marcello696Thank you to our Patreon Producers:·        Chewy’s Godson·        FlyinCosmo·        Justin Foshee·        Punkdefied·        Faris Attieh·        Mohammed Mohammed·        Marcus Brown·        Alex RigopulosSupport What’s Good Games on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/whatsgoodgamesDiscuss the podcast on our social channels!http://www.facebook.com/whatsgoodgameshttp://www.twitter.com/whatsgood_gameshttp://www.youtube.com/whatsgoodgamesJoin the community page!https://www.facebook.com/groups/whatsgoodgames/Timestamps: Segment One: News5:40 Nintendo Direct Recap32:32 Microsoft’s accessibility program38:23 Xbox FPS Boost feature49:14 New Xbox wireless headset56:07 DualSense lawsuitSegment Two: Hands-On1:04:20 Call of Duty Zombies1:11:46 Control: Ultimate Edition1:13:30 Halo 51:22:15 Amazon Luna1:37:41 Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s FurySegment Three: Let’s talk to Parris, Kahlief and Ri!155:25 Welcome back!
