We had two Directs to cover this week. You know what was in them; I don't need to recite their contents, I'm already going to have to tag eleven billion games in the site's tag list. [Editor's note: the site has refused to let me add any additional related games.]

The Double Direct Drop turned this episode into a news show, and unless Nintendo announces something truly unhinged - think Alarmo or some cardboard - it isn't easy to concoct an article made up 88% bullshit by volume for these kinds of episodes.

Wait. Ravenous.

LET'S TALK ABOUT EATING MONSTERS!

You are what you eat, and for Samus Aran that means she's going to turn into a some kind of glowing little gubbin that hurts on contact. This probably isn't going to get me a box quote.

Let's go back to the O.G. Nintendo monster-munching game: Pandora's Tower!

...I am being asked to not go back to "the O.G. Nintendo monster-munching game." Well...

Anyway, there's a pretty good manga/anime about this topic. You should consume that. I did not intend this pun.

And you should also send us emails. That's all I got.
