    BAFTA-nominated indie darling Xalavier Neslon Jr. joins the podcast this week to discuss the diverse lineup of games from his studio Strange Scaffold and their approach to making games in an ever-changing industry.

    Did Nintendo Today Kill the Nintendo Direct? - #351

    This week fan favorite Jay Rios joins the podcast to discuss Nintendo's newest announcement strategies in the era of the Switch 2. With the proliferation of their app Nintendo Today and bespoke, smaller announcements and overviews of upcoming games, it's hard to not take that as a sign that the Nintendo Direct is dead once and for all. We break down the likelihood of this situation and whether or not Nintendo even needs a Direct in this day and age. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as the release dates and overviews for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book & Splatoon Raiders, rumors of a live-action horror themed Metroid movie, Tomodachi Life's HUGE sales numbers in Japan and much more.
