This week on The Firmware Update, the sparse summer release schedule opens the door for Joe and Malcolm to be swept away by a tidal wave comprised of Pokémon Go and San Diego Comic Con trailers.

Talking Points: Teeny-tiny retro consoles; teeny-tiny glimmers of hope for Sonic Mania; June 2016 NPD results; No Man’s Sky hits even more legal turbulance; Rise of the Tomb Raider’s PS4 release sets Malcolm’s priorities way off track; Gravity Rush 2 gets a release date, too; Sony forgoes a Gamescom conference for a second straight year; Pokemon Go makes Joe and Malcolm mere pawns in game of life.
