Description
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has only been officially available for a few days, but Nintendo has already confirmed that it's the fastest-selling Zelda game ever. In an industry enamored with trendy titles that are online, multiplayer, free-to-play, battle royale, and riddled with season passes and microtransactions, should the massive sales of a traditional single-player game be a wake-up call? We discuss what the early success of TOTK might mean for the gaming world.We'll also be talking about Amazon's newly announced mulligan at a Lord of the Rings MMO, how EA Sports' relaunched college football game series will allow players to opt-in, Summer Game Fest's confirmed lineup of 40+ partners (including PlayStation and Xbox), and Nicolas Cage's upcoming role in Dead by Daylight.Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the history of Tiger Electronics.We love our sponsors!
