Marc then gives final thoughts on Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and also discusses the Fire Emblem: Three Houses DLC too. While Sean gives spoiler-free thoughts on the Sonic Movie.
The PS5 price debate and whether or not Sony will have first-party exclusives in year 1 of the console drive a large part of the conversation on the show. Plus, Geoff Keighley not doing E3 2020 and what it says about the current and future state of E3 as a show. Additionally, the duo also discusses Disney wanting more games from their franchises, Disney saying no to Sora in Smash, and breaking free Persona onto the Nintendo Switch.
