We discuss the fantastic Resident Evil 4 remake and enlist the help of the community to make a list of Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games we want to play on Switch. We also talk about our time with the Exoprimal beta, check in on Wo Long potentially one last time, and Marcus talks WWE 2K23 and Bayonetta Origins: Whatever the Subtitle Is.
