After 28 years of being on the cutting edge of arcades globally, the Sega Ikebukuro Gigo arcade in Japan is closing its doors. Bruno & Nick chat about the significance of this location to the struggling arcade scene, and where arcade enthusiasts go from here to keep that arcade flame alive! Later, Fortnite has teamed up with designer clothing company Balenciaga to release not only in-game content, but a line of actual physical clothing, with price tags sometimes in the thousands! Has Fortnite officially jumped the pop culture shark?
Finally, rumors are swirling that negotiations have begun to get a re-release of the iconic fighting game Marvel vs Capcom 2. The guys chat about the legal hurdles of making it happen, and what they'd like to see if the game got greenlit.

I loved MvC2 back in the day on Dreamcast, but man it was always one of those titles I was just absolutely awful at. If it indeed does come back I'll support it of course, but I doubt I'll ever be a contender again, even in a strictly for fun setting. Just don't have the coordination for fighting games anymore. Excellent episode as always guys.

That was a quick listen! Yeah I was never any good at fighting games but man it felt cool to have Mega Man team up with so many iconic characters. Thanks as always Morgan!

Having such an iconic arcade close was a gut punch to cover, but not surprising - the arcade era is long behind us.
