On this episode of The (New) Joy of Gaming Podcast, we try to keep our anticipation for Resident Evil 4 Remake in check a bit longer as we discuss the latest gaming news, including RE4 reviews, our preparations for the closing of the Nintendo eShop for Wii U and 3DS, rumors of a potential new Castlevania game from Konami (thanks Dead Cells) and the incredibly sad passing of actor Lance Reddick, an absolute giant of the games industry. We also discuss the stellar Sea of Stars Demo, Brandon’s continuing adventures in Octopath Traveler 2, Rich’s not-so-triumphant return to Final Fantasy XIV, our thoughts on Metroid Prime Remastered, and the latest release announcements for Game Pass, Playstation Plus and from Limited Run Games.
