SDGC welcomes back Author/Comedian/Gamer (derogatory)/Former Nintendo Employee Mike Drucker to the show! This week it's a lengthy stew of what we've been playing followed by discussion of Nintendo culture and quirks, including the ongoing Switch 2 devkit scarcity as well as the hammer coming down from them on a Japanese charity event. We also found a bit of time at the end for what we'd still like to see announced this year - time is running out!

This week serves up a terrible podcast title as we look closer at the latest Nintendo Partner Direct, which was a good one for certain fans of HD-2D RPGs. Also on the docket, discussing the scarce Switch 2 dev kit situation that is actively hurting developers, and a new video game that definitely isn't Horizon but probably confused at least one person.

Another week and more Switch 2 talk, this time its continued Bananza gushing, as well as breaking down the launch sales for Switch 2, which set new records.

Another week, another show...this time the SDGC crew is joined by Austin Lee Matthews.

It's been a few weeks, but we're back. Join us on this secret mission to get derailed repeatedly while trying to talk about PAX East, and make fun of Xbox for raising console prices.

Justin is joined by Brit and Finn to discuss South of Midnight, a love letter to southern folklore and a sorely needed original release in Microsoft's lineup.

Y'all. Can we just stop. Can we get off this rollercoaster ride. What do I have to do. Anything.

In the second of two Nintendo-centric broadcasts, we discuss the full reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 (though not before some really gushy mushy talk about how much we all love each other).

It's a big moment we've been waiting for, though it has come at a thoroughly demoralizing time: the North American gaming industry's first direct join union has formed. We talk about the potential long-term outcomes of the UVW-CWA. Plus: why have some old games aged better than others?

Derek and Justin have dedicated their lives to nothing but Monster Hunter Wilds since they got their hands on it, which isn't EVERYTHING you need to know about one of the generation's biggest releases, but it sure is a starting point. This game was reviewed on PC and PS5 using a code provided by the publisher. Thanks to Capcom for the opportunity to review this game.

Derek and John discuss the intersection between the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes in gaming, the recasting of several actors by Hoyoverse, and a dogbutt AI character demo from Playstation. More importantly, we let John nerd out about the proper reveal of Silent Hill f (I guess we type that lowercase?).

We're joined by friends of the show Sam Tolbert and (eventually) Anoriand to talk about Konami's weirdly mixed strategy for returning to gaming relevance. Also, gaming sure might be about to get way more expensive as a hobby, huh? Sorry for the very late upload. Life has been life-ing.
