Every week, moms Nicole Tanner and Linda Breneman, along with Stephen Duetzmann, a dad, talk about video game news, kids, and what we’re playing. This week we try not to talk too much about Pokémon GO and almost succeed!

News
- Nicole loved the new Ghostbusters movie.
- Nintendo is releasing a new plug-and-play NES that will come with 30 classic Nintendo games. Is it a good buy? Stephen displays his encyclopedic Nintendo knowledge and accuses his fellow podcasters of being Nintendo haters (not true). Check out Bubble Bobble, one of the 30 classic games:
- The new Xbox One S has a release date.
- A new study says that the portrayal of women in video games is getting less sexualized. Maybe not so much in Street Fighter, though.
Chun Li, a female (obviously) Street Fighter character
- Rise of the Tomb Raider is on its way to the PlayStation 4 this fall.
- The new Pac-Man game is crazy fun.
- There are a lot of new Pokemon for the upcoming Sun and Moon game.
- Stephen talks about the Pokémon GO lucky egg trick. Nicole complains about the Pokemon puns in this post at Yelp’s blog about their new Pokemon finder. Is there such a thing as a bad Pokémon pun?
What We Played
- Nicole played Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, Animal Crossing, and Hearthstone.
- Linda played Pokémon GO.
- Stephen played Pokémon GO and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. He’s planning on going back to World of Warcraft for the new expansion scheduled for the end of August.
