This week we're discussing Nintendo's ongoing struggle, the latest Call of Duty, and a couple classic game remakes. 0:00 This year's Call of Duty has been announced, and we're generally feeling excited about it. We'll explain why. 9:30 We found out this week that before Sledgehammer Games was working on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare -- and even before it was brought in to work on Modern Warfare 3 -- it was working on a third-person Call of Duty set during the Vietnam War. Some of us like the idea, but others think it just doesn't sound like Call of Duty. 12:45 Here's the meat of this week's show. As Nintendo announces its third annual loss in a row and reports Wii U sales numbers that are even lower than expected, Colin Moriarty asks the question, "How does [Nintendo President Satoru] Iwata still have a job?" Nintendo Editor Jose Otero and lifelong Nintendo fan Brian Altano join us for the discussion.
