2. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book Is Video Game Bubble Wrap - NVC 813

   Fri, 22 May 2026 13:00:04 -0000

   Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is the latest Switch 2 exclusive, and this week's NVC is all about breaking down what works and what doesn't in this experimental platformer. Join Logan Plant, Tom Marks, Nick Limon, and Kinda Funny's Tim Gettys as Tom and Tim talk about their uneven experiences with Yoshi, including how making discoveries for the first time is charming, but there's not much joy left to find after each box has been checked. Plus, the panel talks about Yoshi's identity crisis and how this risky direction doesn't quite solve the problems the series has faced over the last 30 years. Stick around to hear about Pictonico, that weird new mobile WarioWare-like game coming next week, and Nick's trip to the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, Japan.<br /> <br /> #yoshi #nintendo #switch2<br /> <br /> 00:00:00 - Intro & Yoshi and the Mysterious Book Review Discussion<br /> 00:46:10:09 - Pictonico!<br /> 00:52:53:47 - Nintendo Museum & Outro

   Sat, 16 May 2026 13:00:49 -0000

   GTA 6’s third trailer has not yet dropped as of this recording, which makes the wait until the game’s eventual release in November seem further away than ever. But what happens if it gets delayed, again? Well, luckily there are a ton of awesome new games coming out before then like Wolverine, Blood of Dawnwalker and Phantom Blade Zero later this fall, plus LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight very soon. We talk about some of these games, plus other activities you can do to cope on the off chance that Grand Theft Auto 6 doesn’t drop when we’re expecting it. In other news, we have some questions from our newly minted Discord, asking what we think about such relevant hot-button topics as Saros sales, and its likelihood of getting a PC release, 007 First Light, game studio closures that made us sad, Japan Studio franchises we’d like brought back, plus the video games that need to be reinvented with Muppets. Look, this episode we’re a little loopier than usual, please bear with us. And also: go join the discord so we can do more fun mailbag episodes like this.

7. PlayStation Loses Even More Money on Multiplayer - Beyond 946

   Wed, 13 May 2026 13:01:06 -0000

   <br /> some extremely expensive big-ticket items in the world of game development. From Sony's recent financial earnings reporting a $765 million impairment loss (at least partially due to the underperformance of Destiny 2 and this year's Marathon launch) to SEGA's cancellation of its mysterious "Super Game" announced back in 2021, to reports of Grand Theft Auto 6's budget being over a billion dollars.<br /> <br /> Not all games can be GTA 6, though, and we're skeptical about Sony's continued pursuit of AAA live-service projects, rather than dusting off a few tried-and-true games from the vaults to earn a few bucks off our nostalgia. After all, there's a long list of PS3 games we'd be eager to revisit on PS5 while we're waiting for whatever the next big first-party projects are.<br /> <br /> Speaking of expensive things, we also unpack some other things that cost over a billion dollars, like the Burj Khalifa, Yankee Stadium, another Star Wars Trilogy, some Avatar movies, or an actual trip to space.<br /> <br /> 00:00 - Intro<br /> 00:40 - Games are Expensive<br /> 05:02 - Sony's recent financial earnings reporting a $765 million impairment loss<br /> 24:04 - JOIN THE DISCORD!<br /> 24:42 - Games are Very Expensive<br /> 25:54 - SEGA's cancellation of its mysterious "Super Game"<br /> 35:27 - PlayStation should invest into reviving classic games<br /> 38:03 - GTA 6’s Development Reportedly Cost $1.5 Billion, Here’s What Else That Can Buy<br /> <br /> This weeks show is hosted by Max Scoville, Brian Altano, Jada Griffin, and is produced by Nick Maillet.<br /> <br />

10. Mortal Kombat 2, Resident Evil & The New Era of Gaming Movies - Beyond 945

    Thu, 07 May 2026 13:00:14 -0000

    video game movies again! Specifically, Mortal Kombat 2, which we loved. Resident Evil’s trailer dropped last week, and the internet seems divided on it, but we’re willing to give it a fair shake given director Zach Cregger’s past work, and clear love of the franchise. We dig into what makes a good video game movie, reflecting on the past hits and misses, and looking ahead to a big one: A24’s Elden Ring movie, directed by Alex Garland. <br /> <br /> In other news, Vampire Crawlers has big sticky hooks and we can’t get enough of it, and Spell Brigade is better with a buddy.<br /> <br /> <br /> 00:00:00 - Intro & Mortal Kombat II Movie Discussion<br /> 00:18:51 - Resident Evil Movie Trailer Breakdown<br /> 00:46:20 - Vampire Crawlers, Spell Brigade, & Outro<br /> <br /> #mortalkombatmovie #playstation #residentevilmovie

    Thu, 07 May 2026 00:52:33 -0000

    In a VERY surprising Nintendo Direct, Star Fox 64 is getting the remake treatment with a brand new Switch 2 game simply dubbed, Star Fox.

Nick and Brian give all their thoughts and reactions to one of Nintendos most suprising and abrupt announcements in years. <br /> <br /> This weeks show was hosted by Brian Altano and Nick Limon, it was produced by Nick Maillet<br /> <br /> #starfox #nintendo
