Press Start: Tokyo Game Show, Hearthstone skullduggery and, oh yeah, Destiny

For the 0.2 percent of you who didn't know, The Taken King launched last week, and for the 0.2 percent of those who don't know what it is, it's not a tribute to Liam Neeson. It more or less remakes the most popular current console game.

As such the week was jampacked with Destiny news but a few other subjects did manage to squirt through — like Tokyo Game Show, where Sony had plenty to say after skipping a Gamescom keynote. Nintendo also named a new president to lead the company after Satoru Iwata's very untimely passing, though the real news may be in the leadership reorganization that goes along with the appointment. And Shenmue 3 must have gotten nostalgic for E3 2015 — was it really three months ago? — as it reopened a new crowdfunding campaign. They must really need to hit that $10 million Yu Suzuki alluded to in June.

It was a sportsy week, too. The NCAA screwed up the kind of thing it should be good at promoting: Opportunity for women athletes, as it finger-wagged thirteen off the roster of FIFA 16 over its byzantine and heartless eligibility rules. Konami, according to a developer, is left with its Pro Evolution/Winning Eleven soccer franchise after ending plans to make anything video gamers would care about. And while NBA Live 16 didn't get many thumbs up from real basketball pros for their appearances in the game, at least the face-scanning app for users isn't a comical disaster.

Welcome back to Press Start, our recap of news, features, videos, opinion and everything from the week that was, to get you prepared for the week ahead.
