Check out 10 minutes from Koji Igarashi’s CastleVania inspired game Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. I didn’t have a chance to play Bloodstained at E3 but I’m super excited as I’m a huge CastleVania fan. Its been too long since a good side scrolling CastleVania has been released. The only bad news is that this game is still a long ways out and isn’t expected to be released until some time in 2018.

So the dust has settled and another E3 is in the books. This year for me though was a true whirlwind of excitement and emotions. What started as a long shot last minute trip, made entirely possible by strangers on the internet I was able to go and have one of the best con experiences of my life. With a shit load of luck and less than a weeks notice I was at the gaming worlds mecca once again. Not only did I play an insane amount of games, I met some new and amazing friends along the way. Here are just a few pics I snapped while I was down there.
Thanks again to @Wario64 for basically getting me a badge and Jim Hale for scoring me accommodations. Without either of your help I would of never made it there.
For more info on what I saw and played check last weeks podcast episode
Rico Skypes in from LA on his crappy laptop microphone to give us the lowdown straight from E3. We talk about the Press conferences and some of the biggest announcements. Rico also talks about all the amazing games he’s played straight from the show floor while avoiding getting shot. I apologize in advance for the poor audio quality but I forgot my microphone at home.

New Pokémon games have been revealed! Pokkén Tournament DX comes to Nintendo Switch on September 22, and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon come to the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on November 17!
Fans were disappointed that the rumored Pokemon Stars version for Switch was nowhere to be seen and a website listing showing TBA led to rampant speculation. The Pokémon copy shut down rumors that a Switch version was coming and that the website listing was an error. Maybe we’ll find out more at E3? Here’s hoping as I for one would love a mainline Pokémon game on the Switch.
