Month in Review: May 2016

Well Source Gaming fam, another month has passed us by. Not just any other month– the month before E3! With E3 peeking its head around the corner, we will undoubtedly get a lot of information in the coming weeks. Not just from Nintendo, but from the other console makers, and publishers. I’m looking forward to hearing what the next year (or so) will have in store for us! With Nintendo announcing its limited E3 show, I wonder when we’ll hear about the next Nintendo console. Anyway, let’s go over this month’s posts. April 2016 Review is here.
