Claire and Paul discuss the crazy amount of TV shows out right now and how they have issues always sitting down watching things before going into some physical collecting woes for movies and games (including Limited Run Games taking FOREVER to send stuff). Claire plays through Transistor and really enjoys it, getting ready for Hades II soon. Paul finishes Cronos and sees credits for the first time in Silksong.

Nintendo had a direct! We talk at length about that, including the finer points of... Amiibos? TDP is listener funded. Like what you hear? Want to support the show and get ad-free episodes? Head over to https://www.patreon.com/topdownperspective

Claire is back and we chat for hours about all the games, including Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokemon Friends, "Mosaic" games, Zexion, Robocop 3, Shinobi and Bubsy 4D. Oh, she also has been playing Hollow Knight: Silksong so Paul jumps in and we discuss that game pretty thoroughly for no spoilers. Big Nate, as he prefers to be called, revisits Day of the Tentacle, plays through Bluey: The Video Game and jumps into the hot 360 title Too Human. Paul also has been playing the new Bloober Team Dead Space-like horror game Cronos: The New Dawn and loves it as well.

In news, Ninteno is litigious and runs out of 2DS parts. Also, Acclaim is apparently coming back as a publisher for Indies.

All this and more in this edition of the Top Down Perspective!
