This week’s episode covers everything you need to know about the new “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” DLC, and Zach’s mixed opinions about it, which leads into his overall view of Nintendo as a company and their tendency to release “beta” products at full price. 

Discussions go deeper into the ethics of charging a monthly fee for 20-year-old games without much real improvement to warrant the price, as well as Nintendo’s refusal to lower the price on games that have been out for several years already.

Come hang out at “The Usual Spot,” the newest addition to The State Hornet podcast network, for gaming news, discussion, critical analysis and just general geek talk.

Hosted by A&E staffer Zach Cimaglio, episodes can range in topics from upcoming releases, gaming-related internet content or movies and possibly even guest stars to keep things nice and fresh.

This week’s episode discusses the upcoming “Resident Evil” film adaptation, specifically how it seems to be adapting both of the original two games at the same time with a huge amount of references to them in the trailer alone, though the plot leaves a lot of room for potential mistakes.

Zach hopes it doesn’t pan out too badly.

Also in the episode is some discussion about the newest and final Smash Bros. fighter, Sora!

He’s been a long time coming, but he’s finally here with nostalgic alternate skins and a moveset just like the original games.
