With the reveal of Kingdom Hearts 4, it seems there could be more to the NVIDIA Ge-Force leak than we gave it originally. Also on the episode this week, Dylan talks Pokemon Sword, Ciaran’s been playing Tiny Tina’s, and The Witcher and CD Projekt news.

Enjoy a bonus episode of Arcade Couch this week with a repost of our Kingdom Hearts III spoilercast, which has been brought over from the now-defunct Review Discussion podcast feed. Original show description follows below: Dylan and Ashley discuss their overall thoughts on the latest entry in the long-running Disney/Square crossover franchise. The review discussion covers the hectic and stunning gameplay elements of Kingdom Hearts 3 as well as the confusing and heavy plot, including the epilogue scene and secret movie. Make sure to let us know what you think of the game in the comments below and any theories you may have for the epilogue and the secret movie as well. Synopsis:Believing light and darkness must remain in balance, Master Xehanort seeks to spark war against the "tyranny of light" to restore equilibrium.
