But really, this episode was all about Week Old News. They talked about some weird headlines, the acclaim showcase, and the big Nintendo Direct that was… unhinged? Yeah, let’s go with that.
Enjoy!
On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris were forced to postpone the Soup-er Series for various dumb reasons, so instead they just talked for an extra long time about Week Old News and The Checkpoint. Speaking of which…

This time, it’s an episode called Train Game, where there’s a train full of kids under threat of explosion from Mr. Big from NARC, and the only hope of saving the day lies in the hands of Acclaim NES game D-listers. Fun!
In Week Old News, the new Mortal Kombat movie gets a hefty delay, the EverCade lineup gets some Activision goodness, and ninjas are EVERYWHERE! How desperate.
Finally, in The Checkpoint, Kris beat Bananza, but Dan didn’t so he can’t talk about why the final act cements it as one of Nintendo’s all-time greats. Dan got his hands on Metal Gear Solid Delta and has been annoying everyone he know switch his Solid Snake impressions, and Kris got to spend a little time with the beautiful Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star crossed Worlds. And yes, that is the game’s actual title now.
Enjoy!
