Hello, and welcome to today’s video games round-up where we settle down at roughly 9PM GMT and link out to the shifts in the industry that we’ve covered, and those that we haven’t.
As the dust starts to settle around us following the quaking and wobbling we’ve withstood from this year’s fantastic CES 2016 it’s time for games news to take the limelight, gawping twinkly-eyed as tech and hardware retreats from the stage – at least until Thursday’s Nintendo presentations.
