My god, what a week! From epic betrayals, the return of childhood classics and an epic opening showcase for fans, there’s plenty to talk about. We are going to get into it in The DayOne Show Episode 330!

As always, before we get into things, we do take a moment to dive into the games we’ve been playing this week. The lovely Joe Cumbo has been playing The Blood of Dawnwalker and has rendered his verdict on the Xbox Series X version with the ‘Day One’ patch in play, so be sure to go check it out. Nick’s been playing Avatar: Fighting Legends and not having a good time, but thoroughly enjoying what he’s played of Crazy Taxi so far.

Jon’s been playing co-op puzzle platformer WheelMates, which isn’t too bad for the price, but it’s a shame more wasn’t done to take advantage of WheelMates unique, twitchy RC-Car setup, because on that front, the developers have done a great job. Jesse’s been playing lots of things he can’t talk about, but did talk a little about NBA2K27 and his continued issues with Star Wars Zero Company on PC.

Beyond the games, there’s a ton of news to talk about. We started the week with a surprising leak from Steam that revealed the achievements for a ton of announced and unannounced games. Then, Nintendo made some dreams come true with a Zelda Direct, revealing gameplay for The Ocarina of Time, a Special ‘Anniversary’ Switch 2 console and accessories and even an ocarina you can buy. Nifty! Then we go Nintendo Direct part two, with a ton of 3rd party reveals and some surprises, including Metroid Ravenous and a new Kirby game!

We capped off this weekend with a ton of announcements from Blizzcon – a new Starcraft open-world shooter, Diablo V was announced and World of Warcraft: Forever was revealed. For everything from Blizzcon, check out our roundup here.
