Pre-order the physical version on Limited Run Games, including the Standard Edition, Revolutionary Edition, and a Classic Edition.A Spotlight Series Interview: This week, Corey Dirrig and LeRon Dawkins sat down with Matt Bozon, founding member of WayForward and the creative mind behind the beloved Shantae series.

This week on Expansion Pass:Edward Varnell and Corey Dirrig dive into the biggest issues facing the big three platform holders—and how each is handling them.PlayStation is still chasing the live-service dragon… but should they be? Over half of their revenue comes from just ten games, none of which they own outright. After Concord flopped, Bungie hit rough waters, and Fairgame$ failed to spark interest, their only real live-service hits are a fading Destiny 2 and the surprise success of Helldivers 2—which they're publishing on Xbox this August. Meanwhile, Xbox has that lane locked down with Minecraft, Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76, Sea of Thieves, and Call of Duty.Xbox, though, still can't get its messaging straight. Mixed signals and rumored clashes with Microsoft leadership have fans frustrated—some even jumping to other platforms that still offer Xbox's games, like Forza Horizon 5, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and the upcoming Gears of War: Reloaded.Nintendo is still in the middle of the Game Key Card mess after the Partner Showcase revealed nearly every new game will use them instead of cartridges. Macronix, the Switch 2's cartridge manufacturer, is now looking at bigger storage sizes beyond the current 64GB, hoping to keep Nintendo competitive with third-party support.This and much more on Expansion Pass.
