My 2 cent Nintendo, EA and Activision

For this my 2 cent video for the week of Oct 15 though 20 I give my thoughts on Nintendo new update for the Switch & a change in there review policy, EA shutting down Visceral Games & the chance that Star Wars Battlefront 2 coming to the Switch (which I doubt) and Activision file a patent for micro transaction.



Part 1 Nintendo - 0:18 to 13:58
