My 2 Cents - Nintendo, June NPD, Gran Turismo & Spyro the Dragon

For this week my 2 cent Switch/Gaming video for the week of July 29 to August 4 I give my thoughts on Nintendo latest financial report, June 2018 NPD Sales, GT adding micro-transactions (and getting some backlash from it) and controversy surrounding the Spyro the Dragon remake.
