What's up, everybody? Welcome to IGN GameSoup. I'm your host, Damon Hadfield. Joining me today

0:16.4

is Greg Miller. Hi. Sam Clayborn. What's up everybody? Justin Davis. Lost to talk

0:21.6

about today. We're going to talk about Elder Scrolls Online. We're going to talk about this

0:24.1

strange new Vita game that's being censored. But first, everybody is talking about whether

0:29.3

or not Nintendo should put their games on iOS and Android on mobile. For their part,

0:37.7

Nintendo has said they have no plans to do that, although they have admitted in light

1:42.6

Nintendo games ever. There happens to be a lot of really good Nintendo games on 3DS

1:47.1

right now. There's nothing on iOS that's as good as the best 3DS game.
