The Champions' are joined by special guest Rod Lloyd this week to talk about the totally out-of-left-field Cadence of Hyrule announcement, what Rod thought of Crypt of the Necrodancer, what this could mean for the future of Nintendo and Indie Devs, and for a bit of fun, dream up their perfect pairings of Indie Developers and which Nintendo series they would like to see them create a game in! We've got a news round up and a story about Andy's drug-deal-like purchase of Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland behind a Tim Horton's coffee shop! You won't wanna miss this one!
