This week on M2 Podcast, we break down the chaos surrounding Rainbow Six Siege after a massive hack flooded the game with billions in in-game currency and forced Ubisoft to take servers offline. We also take a close look at 8BitDo's new Ultimate 3E controller, an officially licensed Xbox peripheral that looks like the Elite Series 3 Microsoft never released. On the business side of gaming, we discuss the surprisingly effective psychology behind indie game pricing and why developers believe $8 still feels like $5 to players. Finally, we unpack the growing RAM price crisis, exploring how AI demand, manufacturing shifts, and supply constraints are driving up costs and reshaping the future of PC builds.0:00 Intro1:48 Updates10:01 Rainbow Six Siege Engulfed In Chaos https://tinyurl.com/442mccbz 19:49 8BitDo's new Xbox pro controller https://tinyurl.com/4ussn7pt 38:46 Peak Developer Explains Successful Game Pricing https://tinyurl.com/53kufe6p 50:02 Why is RAM so expensive right now? https://tinyurl.com/3zemt3ca 1:28:48 OutroLeave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching/listening!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------PODCAST                ►► https://anchor.fm/m2podcastAMAZON Music         ► https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/091902c3-b83b-487c-8fe7-4c96787434fe/M2-PodcastAPPLE                          ► https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1531832410BREAKER                     ► https://www.breaker.audio/m2-podcast-2CASTRO                       ► https://castro.fm/podcast/6f69d373-d879-46d9-9f1c-bcf7c4bf1741GOOGLE                       ► https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8zNTYwNWZiMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==OVERCAST                   ► https://overcast.fm/itunes1531832410/m2-podcastPOCKETCASTS           ► https://pca.st/5jghvf6eRADIOPUBLIC             ► https://radiopublic.com/m2-podcast-GMZkY4SPOTIFY                      ► https://open.spotify.com/show/2VedhO03IRoHERJqF6Sy87STICHER                      ► https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/m2-podcastTUNEIN                        ► http://tun.in/pj3ZI#podcast JOIN THE DISCORD!  ►► https://discord.gg/Kp5Gre6KyleHeath Socials:TIKTOK           ►► https://www.tiktok.com/@mrjkheathTWITCH          ►► https://www.twitch.tv/kyleheathTWITTER        ►► https://twitter.com/mrjkheathYOUTUBE       ►► https://www.youtube.com/MrJkheathMadMikeWillEatU Socials:TIKTOK           ►► https://www.tiktok.com/@madmikewilleatuTWITCH          ►► https://www.twitch.tv/madmikewilleatu/aboutTWITTER        ►► https://twitter.com/madmikewilleatuYOUTUBE       ►► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1MoIvzyMDvH_5Ta

Well its a radio show, but its not live, and its prerecorded.... The Naked Gun is out, and its the comedy that Hollywood needed. Plus Nintendo, pulls its normal shenanigans, while we all continue to ignore the issues. Somehow EA is now the good guy as well? Also, Spider-Man begins filming, and the scenes from set look amazing, Matt Smith is joining a Galaxy Far Far Away, and Chris Hemsworth clarifies his comments on Thor.

This week, John kicks off NPC with a return to 1998, before the crew digs into 8BitDo's new Pro 3 controller, Thunderbolt 5 eGPU enclosures and docks, TrimUI's ponderous Smart Pro Mini, and Federico and John's first impressions of the MagicX Zero 40. Then, Brendon, John, and Federico bring a handheld they haven't used in a while back to the show, and as you might expect, Federico's choice was a bit of a surprise. Also available on YouTube here.

8BitDo is releasing the Pro 3 controller with enhanced ergonomics and Hall effect joysticks. The live-action Zelda adaptation has cast its leads, sparking curiosity about the actors' ability to embody the iconic roles of Zelda and Link. Meanwhile, "Donkey Kong Bananza" is receiving positive reviews for its innovative level design and challenging gameplay, though some find the difficulty curve steep. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Support the podcast on Cash App: https://cash.app/$2BGPodcast Join our Discord Server! https://discord.gg/GbE3FA9ExC Listen to our episodes live on Kick! https://kick.com/2brothersgaming Listen to our episodes live on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNS1AE-B-hU_Lsx5Lb5UBnA Follow Us On Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567044685707&mibextid=LQQJ4d Watch us play games on Twitch! https://m.twitch.tv/2brothersgamingpodcast Here is Ashton's (armoury987) personal Twitch Channel https://www.twitch.tv/armoury987 Here is Ryland's (Quixs) personal Twitch Channel https://twitch.tv/Quiixxss Here is Ashton's (armoury987) personal Kick Account https://kick.com/armoury987 Here is Ryland's (Quixs) personal Kick Account https://Kick.com/Quixs Here is Ashton's (armoury987) personal YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@armoury987 Here is Ryland's (Quixs) personal YouTube Channel https://youtube.com/@Quixs Here is our merch on RedBubble 2BrothersGaming.redbubble.com Here is our merch on Printify https://2-brothers-gaming-merch.printify.me/ Here is our merch on Tee-public http://tee.pub/lic/2bgpodcast Here is our Flowpage https://www.flowcode.com/page/2brothersgaming Music: Credit to https://www.FesliyanStudios.com for the background music. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sources: Venom PS5 Game Gets Exciting UpdateGame Ranthttps://gamerant.com › marvels-venom-ps5-reveal-update 17-Year-Old Castle Crashers Gets New DLC Release DateGame Ranthttps://gamerant.com › ... › Castle Crashers - News Ubisoft Announces Layoffs at Tom Clancy Founded StudioGame Ranthttps://gamerant.com › Video Games › Core News

I recently tested the Octopus Fight Stick, along with the Brawler64 and D6 from Retro Fighters...and before that, I'd tested 8Bitdo's wireless Neo Geo CD style controller. While I have the ability to test lag and detect major flaws, I'm not a pro gamer and can't push these to their limits. So, I sent them all to Beast, as he's both a pro-level gamer and uses specific test methods to gauge how each perform against the originals, or other options.  This is a podcast-style discussion about all four and I think Beast did an excellent job adding perspective for each, both as a pro gamer and just as someone who's good at explaining some of the more technical stuff to the casual gamer. Here's affiliate links to everything discussed:Octopus Fight Stick: https://retrorgb.link/octopusConsole Adapter Cables:  https://retrorgb.link/octopuscableAlternative Plates:  https://retrorgb.link/octopusplatesKraken Spinner: https://retrorgb.link/octopuskrakenBrawler64 Gold: https://retrorgb.link/brawler64goldbtBrawler64 (Other Colors): https://retrorgb.link/brawler64btBrawler64 (Other Colors, Amazon): https://amzn.to/4iIXolw8Bitdo Neo Geo CD: https://amzn.to/3Nzvs62D6 Controller: https://retrorgb.link/retrofightersd6D6 (Amazon):  https://amzn.to/3SevS4nSanwa JLX: https://focusattack.com/sanwa-jlx-tp-8yt-joystick/Sanwa Pro Modding Kit: https://arcadeshock.com/products/sanwa-denshi-jlf-pro-modding-kitShin-Etsu Grease: https://focusattack.com/fa-dab-20-ounce-shin-etsu-silicone-grease-vial/Octopus User Guide:  https://trfightstick.com/so/ccPP9lG2aYou can find Beast everywhere at "beast1x5":https://www.twitch.tv/beast1x5https://bsky.app/profile/beast1x5.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/beast1x5/https://www.youtube.com/user/beast1x5https://twitter.com/beast1x5https://www.facebook.com/DJBeAsTNyC/Also, if you'd like to hear more from Beast, check out a previous podcast we did and see him in action in the Neo Geo MVS-X Review: https://youtu.be/xCBm9q73hhk / https://youtu.be/J8cWivOhYhAPlease consider supporting this channel via monthly support services, tips, or even just by using our affiliate links to purchase things you were already going to buy anyway, at no extra cost to you: https://www.retrorgb.com/support.htmlT-Shirts: https://www.retrorgb.com/store.htmlAll equipment used to shoot this video can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/retrorgb

This week on NPC, Federico, Brendon, and John chart which handheld makers are still shipping to the U.S. in the wake of steep tariffs, then explore how speedrunners are stress‑testing Breath of the Wild at Nintendo's Switch 2 hands‑on events. Plus, they update listeners on Nintendo's release of version 20 of the original Switch's firmware, how a contempt order against Apple could unlock new business models for developers, the surprising arrival of JIT on the App Store, Nothing's launch of the CMF Phone 2 Pro, and how Anbernic and Ayaneo are defying economic uncertainty by releasing new handhelds.

It seems like every game company on the planet is mad about the "Trump tariffs" these days. 8BitDo is halting shipments of controllers, and the tabletop industry is in shambles. And of course, XBox is raising its console prices. Will this be a passing storm, or is it the new normal?

We're awash in games this week with Skin Deep, Clair Obscur, the Marathon alpha, and a bunch of other stuff we're continuing to play. In the news, the cancelled Titanfall extraction shooter and more hardware makers like 8BitDo suspending shipments into the United States. Then an emails section flush with the straight scoop on subjects like being a Green Bay Packers shareholder, doing publicity for Banksy, the fate of the Antarctic N64, and more.

The first half of the show has a weirdly Sonic feel as Ryan watched Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Jocelyn found Sonic in her Two Point Museum. Quickly moving away from the blue blur, Jocelyn finds a lot of fun in this business simulation game from Two Point Studios. Ryan continues his movie thoughts with George A. Romero's Resident Evil, a documentary about the failed Resident Evil film adaptation from legendary zombie director George A. Romero. Closing out what we played, Jocelyn started her adventures in Avowed. In the news, we go over the latest Pokémon Presents, 8Bitdo releases a follow up to their best controller offering, A Minecraft Movie got a final trailer, and Monster Hunter Wilds becomes Capcom's fastest selling game in just 3 days.

On the latest NPC, ASUS gaming phones, Retroid's big surprise, and more Nintendo emulation drama, plus 8BitDo tries to solve the iPhone vertical controller problem, Federico weighs in on the Any Odin2 Portal, and the whole gang has nothing but love for the TrimUI Brick.
