Nintendo is in the news once again as more employees have spoken out against the treatment they received working in QA at the Nintendo of America HQ in Washington state.

Gender discrimination, assault, and harassment aren’t usually things you associate with the whimsical worlds and games Nintendo builds. Tune in to this week's roundup to get the rundown on what’s been going on at the house Mario built.

In other news; There will be single-player DLC for GTA 6, The Xbox One sold really badly, Stadia is still not dead, and We could have had an open-world Iron Man game.

This week's 5-Second Review isn’t too cool to reference being a kid in the 80s and the Coming Soon section will surprise you because Saints Row is out next week.

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!
