@matpiscatella.bsky.social , this was an awesome watch, thanks for doing this!👏

Too many gaming podcasts are happy to paint narratives out of assumptions, this was an awesome data explainer in a really unpredictable time.👍

Finished another #FE3H run - seems somehow still underrated in the greater gaming space.🤷‍♂️ The "Skip-to-Date" function was a literal game-changer in the final chapters. 👏

Nintendo’s solution is to have consulted the heavens and moved manufacturing to Vietnam to temporarily avoid high tariffs / increasing the price.

Microsoft’s solution is to say your existing devices are already an Xbox.

Sony’s solution is to release another HD remaster of a 3 year old game.

With #XenobladeChroniclesX coming to Switch I made a video about how it differs from the main Xenoblade trilogy, mostly as a service to those who love the trilogy but have not yet played #XCX 😁

Succeeding with a new live service game is like winning the lottery but every ticket costs tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.

I agree with the always sagely Mat, and though it won't change the overall industry trend I'm curious to see the impact of Nintendo Switch 2.🤔
Anyways. The biggest challenge in the video game industry going into 2025 is that the list of most played games today looks the same as it did in 2018.

That's my hill. I also believe this is a Very Not Good thing for the overall industry.

@mvg.bsky.social , pretty cool find!
I was asked to verify and photograph a Nintendo 64 Disk Drive (64DD) Development Kit from a private video game collector. The system was new in box and needed to be carefully documented.

This is what it looks like to unbox one.

Page 36 of the Nintendo Investor Relations report highlighting #Xenoblade as a new core series due to series growth on the Switch. 🥳

Just finished the undercover quest line in #Starfield; wow.
The overall experience was great and the depth of the mission was excellent. The faction missions in this game are easily the highlight. 👏

#Xenoblade games always have incredible music but the lack of recognition for the #Xenoblade3 OST is sadly still remarkable. Yes, it was nominated at the Game Awards, but...I mean, really?

Nintendo Fans are suggesting that factory leaks will force Nintendo to make a formal announcement of #NintendoSwitch2 but Nintendo will keep on schedule.

Video game sites will cover leaks.
When Nintendo makes a formal announcement it will be everywhere.
