Episode 229 - Like God Intended - a podcast by TNP Studios

Terrence makes a triumphant return this week, and we start off by talking impressions of Dragonball Fighterz, Monster Hunter World, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, and Nioh! We also discuss possible explanations for Kaz Hirai stepping down as Sony CEO, Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment officially partnering on a Super Mario film, Far Cry 5's crazy DLC, GDC giving and then taking back an award from Nolan Bushnell, the end of Gigantic, the Nintendo Switch already eclipsing the Wii U's lifetime sales and why they're slated for long term success this time around, EA's blaming of "poor" Star Wars Battlefront II sales on the loot box fiasco, and the various rumors circulating about Microsoft possibly acquiring Valve, EA, or PUBG Corp.
