Everything We Loved from Summer Game Fest
6/12/202656 min
We watched all of the Summer Game Festival events and curated the upcoming releases that we think you’ll enjoy! Plus, Frushtick and Plante attended SGF Play Days in Los Angeles and went hands-on with tons of games, from the new Tomb Raider to Stranger Than Heaven. Was this episode recorded alongside Nintendo’s big announcement? Were we struggling to retain control of our brains? Yes and yes.

First 90 secondsGriffin McElroy· Host0:00
This is a first. This is, this is a first, and it takes me back to my roots, gang.
Christopher Thomas Plant· Host0:04
Mm-hmm.
Griffin McElroy· Host0:04
It takes me back to the joystick days, where Nintendo doesn't tell anyone when they're gonna announce all their shit. [laughs] And so sometimes they do it right during the only scheduled recording time [laughs] that we have, um, for The Besties. And so we're... I mean, the Nintendo Direct is happening right now as, as we're recording this.
Christopher Thomas Plant· Host0:21
Yeah, I told Griffin that I could not multitask and speak and also keep an eye on whether they're releasing, I don't know, Banana Guys 7. So- Yeah ... you're gonna have to tell me, Griffin, if anything noteworthy happens.
Griffin McElroy· Host0:33
No, I mean, I can do, like, Hello Kitty Party Land just announced- Okay ... October 29th, 2026.
Christopher Thomas Plant· Host0:38
Thank God. Thank God.
Griffin McElroy· Host0:38
I can be there.
Christopher Thomas Plant· Host0:39
Yeah.
Griffin McElroy· Host0:40
I'm gonna have it on in the background, so, like, if we're talking about other shit and you hear me get distracted, it's because I'm watching an adult man do [laughs] virtual thumb wrestling- [laughs] ... for 10 straight minutes [laughs]- This seems very important ... in the newly announced Wii Sports Resort for Switch 2. Um, but, like, yeah. I mean, live blogging, guys.
Christopher Thomas Plant· Host0:55
Yeah.
Griffin McElroy· Host0:56
It's back in a, it's back in a big way, and it's happening here at The Besties.
Christopher Thomas Plant· Host0:59
I think this is the way to do it, too. You know? Like, you live stream by watching it, recording it, and then releasing it, like, three or four days later, once everybody else has had a chance, you know- Yeah ... to get a bite of the pie.
Griffin McElroy· Host1:12
I am so- Do we know Star Fox is coming out June 25th?
Christopher Thomas Plant· Host1:15
'Cause I'll just, I'll just keep this shit updated at, I, uh, in real time. [laughs] This is gonna be a fucking mess, guys. [laughs] We're gonna crush it.
