Last year's E3 was pretty much a write-off long before the Electronic Software Assosciation announced that the show would not go on in 2020. Extraordinary circumstances and saw E3 skip out on having any presence whatsoever in 2020, but this year things are a little bit different. The ESA has put together an all-digital showcase, one that has a beefy number of names attached to it, ranging from the biggest players in the industry through to smaller but no less important brands.

Adopting a digital approach this year, E3's proud daddy The Entertainment Software Association has been stocking up on partners for the event. A bunch of big names are confirmed to have something to show off, and the ESA has now confirmed that Sega, Square Enix, and Bandai Namco will be rocking up to the party as well.

Amusing visual design aside, the only thing that Balan Wonderworld is good at is being consistently boring.

Here’s this week’s episode, in which we quickly got over a case of the Moon-Bends, talked for four hours about Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the delightful Kaze and the Wild Masks, Square Enix’s recent showcase, and promised to go back to the one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism: SPACE!
