One eternity later, we finally will see the release of the XBox Series X and PlayStation 5 in just a few days. Therefore, it seems fitting this week to take a look back and remember the eighth generation of consoles, as well as tackle the impossible task of naming our favorite game of the generation.

Before that, however, we've got game announcements to cover (like the long-awaited release date for Nintendo's new Game & Watch and Bravely Default 2's delay to 2021). There are also news headlines galore, including Pokemon GO cashing in on the increase of mobile game spending during the pandemic, Cyberpunk 2077's developer CD Projekt Red's bad week in the stock market, Sony's plans to buy anime-streaming service Crunchyroll, and Activision Blizzard's microtransactions taking the company all the way to the bank.

Finally, we finish up the show with a discussion on Mario Kart: Double Dash on the game's 17th anniversary.
