I wish it wasn't the case, but with the news of layoffs at Microsoft (including layoffs and cancellations at Xbox), I couldn't not talk about it, so I start the show on that downer before getting to what I've been playing with Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - Arbites Class, How 2 Escape: Lost Submarine, Pinball FX - Tomb Raider Pinball, Maximum Football, Without a Voice, Blankspace, and Clash: Robot Detective. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

There isn't much news this week, so, after mentioning a little mishap that forced a rerecording of this episode, I get right to what I've been playing with Star Overdrive, Ruffy and the Riverside, Vessels of Decay, Revenge of the Savage Planet, TETRA's Escape 2, Prehistoric Gal, Neon Apex: Beyond the Limit, and Missing Banban.

This week's episode starts off with a bit of news--including the delay of Marathon and third-party games not selling well on Switch 2--before getting to what I've been playing with REMATCH, The Alters, The Precinct, Preserve, and Garten of Banban 0.

A lot of stuff happened this past weekend, so I spend a little time talking about the few things that stood out to me, including the ROG Xbox Ally, the bait and switch Resident Evil 9 announcement, and the reveal of a very cool-looking new game: There Are No Ghosts at the Grand. Of course, if you're sick of hearing about Summer Game Fest and all that nonsense, there's always what I've been playing, this week with Section 13, Trident's Tale, Spirit of the North 2, Keeper's Toll, and Bunny Cubed. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

With the Nintendo Switch 2 officially released and one in-hand, I give my first impressions on what it's like using the console (very sparingly) and why the Switch 2 Pro controller is a noticeable upgrade over the previous model. If that's not enough excitement, I also talk about the recent PlayStation State of Play and the surprising game that stood out to me most--spoilers: it's Shakespearean. Of course, if those topics don't tickle your fancy, there's always what I've been playing, this week with Starlight Legacy, Polterguys: Possession Party, NanoApostle, Detective From The Crypt, Is This Game Trying to Kill Me?, and Mortisomem. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is less than a week away now and we know what to expect at launch and a bit of what to expect for the rest of 2025--Donkey Kong Bonanza in July and Pokémon Legends: Z-A in October--but there's still a lot of empty space for games already announced--Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime 4--and maybe some unannounced games too, so with that, let's talk about what wishes and predictions we have for Switch 2 in 2025. Of course, if that topic doesn't tickle your fancy, there's always what I've been playing, this week with Blades of Fire, Maniac, Copycat, and Deep Deep Deep Nightmare. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

With the announcement of difficulty options coming to Lies of P in an update alongside its upcoming DLC, I figured it was a perfect time to bring back one of my favorite topics: should Souls games (or any game for that matter) have difficulty option? Of course, if that topic doesn't tickle your fancy, there's always what I've been playing, this week with Undivine, Spellcaster University, Knight's Night!, Super Engine GT Turbo SPEC, Royal Romances: Endless Winter, Red Solstice 2: Survivors, and Drug Dealer Simulator. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

The main topic of this week's episode is: "What's the greatest gaming handheld of all time?" Is it the original Game Boy? The PlayStation Vita? The Switch? The N-Gage? I have my thoughts, of course, but I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks. Of course, if that topic doesn't tickle your fancy, there's always what I've been playing, this week with City Bus Manager, Mad Experiments: Escape Room, Mad Experiments 2: Escape Room, Beef Cat Ultra, and DAMN!.
