Three Dads and a Console

Apparently it is EA night here on Three Dads! Pez has spent some time in the war and on the gridiron with Battlefield 6's open beta and Madden 26. 

Court met with the dev team for NHL 26 and has some insight for the game, plus a new deep dive dropped today. 

Lastly, Vice has dropped a pretty good article on Gen Z buying less and less games. Does this signal a problem for the gaming industry? 

EA has dropped NHL 26's cover athlete, cover, information about the game and a reveal trailer. Two of the biggest puck heads in the business talk about expectations for EA's hockey game. 

Battlefield 6 is making PC turn on secure boot through their bios, which could potentially cause a lot of problems with less experienced PC savants. 

Wabba finally played Expedition 33. FINALLY. 

Your favorites are back! 

Joined by Matt Sowinski of Console Creatures, we talk about his time with Death stranding 2: Electric Boogaloo and how PS+ just keeps cooking

Seriously...

 Court has a Nintendo Switch 2 in his hands and he spent the weekend playing Mario Kart World. We're going to get his takes on the new console and more importantly, what his daughter thought. 

It was a massive weekend for "Not E3" with Summer Games Fest, Xbox Showcase, Southeast Asian Games Showcase and more! The Dads talk about what they're excited for. 

(It's also Pez's birthday) 

Ubisoft announced that their "biggest productions" will be delayed into 2026 and 2027. Xbox just dropped some retro arcade classics to Gamepass and we're pretty excited about it. Swapmeat is doing their playtest and Pez got his hands all over it. 

PAX East 2025 is in the books and we got our hands on some excellent games. Pezzy and Wabba share everything about their experiences at PAX East and each of them pick their favorite games of the show! 

 Bethesda shadow dropped Oblivion's remaster. With the news of a Fallout 3 Remaster on the horizon, what does this tell us about Bethesda and should we be surprised? 

Video games are increasing in price and it is starting to really cheese the onions of gamers. How high is too high for the price of games? 

Also a new Star Wars game was announced! We're pretty jazzed about it. 

Lastly, PAX East 2025 is coming! 

Nintendo has come out and said that they are delaying preorders as they maneuver Trump's tariffs. 

Tape To Tape is getting an awesome sounding update. 

 Nintendo held a 60 minute direct to talk about the newest Nintendo Switch, officially called Nintendo Switch 2. We're here to talk about the console, the hardware and the games that were announced. 

Nintendo also announced Virtual Cards last week and we're going to touch on that as well. 

What else do we have in store for you? Come on in and find out! 

 Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Direct on March 27th and there has been no mention of the Switch 2. Does this mean that the OG Switch still has a wee bit of life left? 

There's a rumor that Steam games will be integrated in the newest Xbox UI. What do the dads think about consoles and PC gaming finally meshing? 

 We have games on games on games to review. MLB The Show 25, Assassin's Creed Shadows and Metaphor Refantazio are up on the menu! 

I have partnered with Ubisoft to produce this content.

Jam packed show tonight. Pez had his mitts all over Monster Hunter this weekend and has some quick impressions for you. Tony Hawk is coming back, the NHL trade deadline is a couple of days away and an old publisher has risen from the ashes like phoenix. 

WB has shut down Monolith Studios and we're wondering what is going to happen with their incredible Nemesis system. 

Assassin's Creed Shadows has been leaked. Our thoughts!
