In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show we talk about… the Apple Vision Pro… for like the third or fourth episode in a row. Hey, it’s the hot new gadget, ok? Plus Eli was able to do a demo of one at his local Apple Store, so we have actual real deal thoughts about the device based on actually using it. We then dip our toes into the drama of the past couple of weeks, which one listener has dubbed The Xbox Holy War. Doom! Gloom! Xbox is abandoning hardware! They’re becoming a 3rd party developer! Xbox exclusives are coming to PlayStation! Well, yesterday was Xbox’s business update thingy and things didn’t quite shake out the way everyone was afraid they would, though some aspects to the rumors were true. Console wars are alive and well, baby! Don’t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to [email protected].

In an exciting new episode of The TouchArcade Show, we kick things off with a topic we’ve NEVER talked about before: Apple Vision Pro. Ok, that is an outright lie, but can you blame us? Today is the day it launched for the public, so interest in this wild new device is certainly at a high. Did Eli or I end up buying one? You’ll have to listen to find out! Don’t worry though, we also talk games, with Eli going hard with Live A Live and myself wasting time doing chores virtually that I should be doing in real life by way of Powerwash Simulator. Oh, and we also hit on last week’s crazy news about all the new rules Apple will need to follow in the EU. And more!

In this week’s podcast we once again dive into the hot topic of the Apple Vision Pro. Pre-orders kicked off today and I can tell you that we personally will not be diving in head first on this new product. Will you? We also get to our lone listener email from this week, which leads to some interesting discussion as always, and then we finish things off with some real-deal on-topic mobile gaming discussion, talking about two recently soft-launched games The Elder Scrolls: Castles and Plants vs Zombies 3: Welcome to Zomburbia.

In this week’s TouchArcade Show podcast we spend darn near the entire episode talking about the Apple Vision Pro since Apple unveiled the device’s February 2nd release date this past Monday. Will we get one? Will you get one? Will anyone get one? We then turn to listener emails which leads to discussion about Apple’s extremely convoluted iPad lineup (at least to me) as well as the current state of our Patreon thanks to some very helpful advice from a listener. Did you know we had a Patreon? I should probably mention that more. Don’t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to [email protected].

This week on The TouchArcade Show we get to brass tacks, whatever that means, by kicking off 2024 with some lengthy discussion of all our Best of 2023 picks, including our Game of the Year picks for iPhone, iPad, Switch, and Steam Deck. Before that though we hit on some juicy listener emails which leads to discussion on game tracking (the good kind), buying computers for parents, and the best way to play “organize ROMs" on your Miyoo Mini.

In Ep. 576 of The TouchArcade Show we touch on a variety of topics, as usual. We start off talking a bit about our plans for Christmas, which is coming up on Monday, as well as the state of electronic toys for children nowadays. Anyone else have those Tiger Electronics-style gaming watches back in the ’80s and early ’90s? We then hit on how many dang sales are going on across all platforms, and then we move into some of the big mobile gaming stories from the week. Links to all that stuff can be found in the Show Notes below. Happy holidays ya’ll!

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show we talk about how Eli has fully fallen off the wagon and is back on his World of Warcraft kick again. Some demons never die. We then talk about last week’s The Game Awards show and how we think it could be improved, as well as touch on the latest Epic Games court battle. We then do the unthinkable and talk about… mobile gaming! The latest GTA trilogy release, some upcoming Netflix bangers, how awesome Sonic Dream Team is, and more.

After taking Thanksgiving week off we’re back with another action-packed episode of The TouchArcade Show! Well, maybe not quite action-packed, but certainly discussion-packed! The topics might sound familiar to you: The new Steam Deck OLED, the Miyoo mini, a little iOS gaming talk peppered in, and even a couple of listener emails. Hello Bob!

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show we talk A LOT about the new Steam Deck OLED, which I’ve had for about a week and can safely say is awesome, and which Eli ordered the Limited Edition of yesterday because buying expensive things he doesn’t really need is his JAM. Or perhaps I should say “Limited" Edition, because it’s still in stock as of this writing! That was the case with the new colorways of the Analogue Pocket too. Those have been notoriously difficult to get a hold of but again as of this writing there is the pink version still in stock. We also catch up on a few emails which leads to plenty of good discussion, especially around all the great strides being made recently in the world of the Miyoo Mini.

This is a particularly special episode of The TouchArcade Show as both Eli and myself were guests on this week’s Macrumors Show, the podcast of our sister site Macrumors. So you’re actually getting a double dose of Eli and Jared this week, whether you like it or not! For audio listeners you’ll find the full Macrumors Show stitched right onto the end of our normal podcast, which means there’s nearly 2 hours of junk to listen to in your future. Yikes! Video watchers can find the link to the Macrumors Show video in the description of this week’s TouchArcade Show video, and I’ll link it below too, so be sure to check it out. Our podcast mainly focuses on Eli’s new Meta smart glasses and the announcement of the Steam Deck OLED, while the Macrumors Show is focused entirely on Apple and gaming in general. They are both (hopefully) interesting listens so we hope you enjoy!

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show, Eli wonders if it’s finally time to try out a pair of those fancy smart glasses that have been coming out lately, and wonders if any of our listeners have any first-hand experience or advice. Could that be YOU? We also hit on some emails and plenty of handheld gaming talk, including how difficult it can be to go back to a game from WAY back when that you have fond memories of but doesn’t hold up so well today. Cough, Resident Evil, cough. We cap things off with some Super Mario Bros. Wonder talk and all the latest news with Apple Arcade.
