January 5, 2018 – 2017 Year In Review (Part 1)

Posted on January 5, 2018 by Mike "The Legend"

Greetings friends, and welcome to 2018! Hopefully, all of you out there survived the roller-coaster ride that was 2017, and we here at The Arcade are glad to be getting back into the swing of things after an enjoyable holiday break. This week, we’ll take a look back at some of the bigger stories that played out last year for part one of our 2017 Year In Review.

The Big Topics of 2017:

Nintendo: What A Difference A Year Can Make
Microsoft Tries To Play Catch Up w/ Xbox One… Doesn’t Quite Get There
PlayStation 4 Plays It Steady
Loot Boxes: The Insidious New Way Game Companies Try To Get At Your Money

Dennis’ Nickname:

The man whose first nickname of 2018 is elaborate and expansive, much like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – a game he has been playing a lot of recently.
