X Button Gaming

Its time to talk about the handheld video game system that everyone is talking about this month, the PlayStation Vita! While other shows are covering that Switch 2, here at X Button Gaming we decided to talk about a different handheld console that we have a lot of love for, even if Sony didn't.

In this modern day we are all used to buying a game and having to wait for the updates to download before we can actually play it. But what if your internet is down and you can't download that update, or you can't download the other 90% of the game so you can actually play it? Well that will be the case most of the time, but there are exceptions! Come join Rob, James and myself as we talk about the world of cart revisions on the Nintendo Switch!
