The Weekly Stuff #381 – Nintendo at E3 2021 and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Review

<p>We’ve got two big topics this week, starting with a wrap-up of E3 2021, which we mostly covered in last week’s show, but wrapped up on Tuesday with Nintendo, by far the best showcase of the event. With big surprises like <i>Metroid Dread, </i>welcome new entries in the <i>WarioWare </i>and<i> Mario Party </i>series, our best look yet at <i>Shin Megami Tensei V, </i>and our first gameplay footage from the <i>Breath of the Wild </i>sequel, it was a great show that put everyone else at E3 to shame. After that, we dive deep with Insomniac’s incredible <i>Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, </i>an outstanding PS5 exclusive that offers great storytelling, nigh-perfect gameplay, and some of the most amazing technical accomplishments we’ve ever seen in a game. It gets our highest recommendation, and it’s a ton of fun to talk about.</p><p>Enjoy, and come back on Thursday for a second podcast this week, with our <a href="http://weeklysuitgundam.com/"><i>Weekly Suit Gundam</i></a>2-Year Anniversary Celebration! </p><p><strong>TIME CHART:</strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:05:46</p><p>Stuff, including Sean’s Beta Corner: 0:05:46 – 0:30:06 </p><p>E3 News & Nintendo: 0:30:06 – 1:22:01</p><p><i>Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart: </i>1:22:01 – 2:52:34 </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBqje0qmCVn0WkCXJzckaA"><strong>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://anchor.fm/weeklysuitgundam"><strong>Subscribe to the WEEKLY SUIT GUNDAM Podcast!</strong></a></p><p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wgtc-radio-we-got-this-covered/id535584943"><strong>Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in Apple Podcasts!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/JonathanLack"><strong>Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/SeanTheChapman"><strong>Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!</strong></a></p>
