In today's Daily Fix:Activision has revealed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, the latest in the rebooted sub-franchise of Call of Duty. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the series is leaving the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One behind (they are 14-year-old consoles after all), although some elements of online multiplayer will remain playable for previous installments. In other news, the Steam Deck is sold out at Valve's online store, despite an immediate (and significant) price hike for the OLED models. And finally, a classic N64 game is coming Nintendo Switch Online, and its theme song might just get stuck in your head.IGN Live 2026 is happening next weekend in Downtown Los Angeles.

The monthly video gaming briefing from GameBurst documents significant industrial milestones alongside ongoing corporate restructuring across major publishers. Leading the news, Subnautica 2 has launched into Early Access today on PC and Xbox Series X|S. Developed by Unknown Worlds Entertainment, the title includes four-player cooperative mechanics and an updated Unreal Engine 5 foundation. The release follows a protracted development period marked by internal leadership disputes and legal conflict involving its publisher. In corporate developments, Capcom has reported record annual performance for the fiscal year ending March 2026, with 59 million total units sold. The results were driven heavily by Resident Evil Requiem, pushing the franchise past 200 million lifetime sales. Separately, retail data suggests pre-orders for Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 6 are imminent, prompting industry speculation ahead of Take-Two Interactive's quarterly earnings call. Further updates include Nintendo's decision to bring forward the theatrical release of the live-action Legend of Zelda film to April 2027, alongside the expansion of the Nintendo Switch Online service to include five additional Virtual Boy titles. Sony also confirmed the addition of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Star Wars Outlaws to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers. The update concludes with the panel's Picks of the Week, covering Mixtape, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, and contemporary tabletop gaming. #gameburst Featured Video Links Quinns Quest Reviews: Stonetop
Star Fox 64 is this week's NSO Game of the Week, and we're looking back at why this Nintendo 64 classic still defines the Star Fox series today. From the Rumble Pak and branching paths to Star Wolf, iconic voice lines, team banter, alternate routes, and the unforgettable fight with Andross, Star Fox 64 gave the series the identity fans still compare every later entry to. We'll talk about the game's history, why it mattered on Nintendo 64, what makes it so replayable, and why it still works so well on Nintendo Switch Online. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It's a retro throwback episode! Christina played the original Luigi's Mansion through Nintendo Switch Online. This one was a launch title for the GamCube and a game Matthew has never seen before. Christina played it when it first came out but didn't remember much. It's a cute (and short) throwback game that only has Mario in it for a minute and a half.

On that front, George, Ed, Andrew, and special friend/ guest for the episode, KnittedFox of Sunken Treasures Games chew the fat over EA’s vile layoff of the Battlefield 6 team, thoughts on Nintendo Switch Online’s take on the Virtual Boy, Capcom terminating the voice actor for Mega Man over their Union contract and a few other odds and ends.

In today's Daily Fix:In IGN exclusive report, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has announced his retirement from Xbox after 38 years with parent company Microsoft. Xbox President Sarah Bond is also resigning. Asha Sharma, currently President of Microsoft's CoreAI product, will be the new CEO of Microsoft Gaming. Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty will be promoted to Chief Content Officer and will work closely with Sharma. In other news, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has confirmed two new Far Cry projects are in development, and has assured Splinter Cell fans the remake is still happening, despite futher layoffs at Splinter Cell dev Ubisoft Toronto. And finally, Nintendo is dropping Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen onto Switch as separate $20 games. This has confused—and angered—some fans who wonder why the titles weren't added to the Game Boy Advance player as part of Nintendo Switch Online.
Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticJoin The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KThe latest Notorious Mass Effect segment from Analytic Dreamz dives deep into the 2025 video game industry landscape, drawing from Matthew Ball's State of Video Gaming 2026 report. Global content sales reached a record $195.6 billion, up 5.3% year-over-year, marking three straight years of growth and surpassing the 2021 peak despite ongoing structural challenges.This episode breaks down the paradox: record revenue contrasts with a 55% collapse in private funding, ongoing layoffs totaling ~44,000 jobs from 2022-2025 (9,200 in 2025 alone, down 40% from 2024), and a surge in outsourcing now at 35.5% of content investment. Console spending hit $41.6 billion, driven by subscriptions like PlayStation Plus, Xbox Game Pass, and Nintendo Switch Online offsetting declining direct sales, while PC grew strongly to $40.7 billion.Key drivers include China capturing 38% of global spending growth and Roblox alone accounting for 67% of net industry expansion, with peaks of 47.3 million concurrent users. Mobile shows warning signs of flat growth reliant on price hikes rather than new players.Analytic Dreamz explores projected 2026 opportunities in non-core markets, advertising, direct-to-consumer models, external development, and platforms like Roblox. The takeaway: the industry isn't monolithic—growth is uneven, concentrated, and service-driven across segmented ecosystems.Tune in for this essential analysis on the state of gaming today and tomorrow.

Service! This week GVG's Daniel Alba returns to the podcast to discuss our impressions of the latest Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive Mario Tennis Fever. Is there enough meat in this game to justify its $70 price tag? How does it stack up to other Camelot Mario sports outings? We break it all down in a lively chat. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news of the week such as the release of Virtual Boy games on Nintendo Switch Online, the return of Castlevania from the Sony State of Play, analysts predicting a price hike on the Switch 2 due to AI RAM shortages, controversy surrounding Discord's age verification policies and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.

Email the show: nintendopowblock@gmail.comThis week on Nintendo Pow Block:What if Nintendo Switch Online is only scratching the surface of what Nintendo has planned next? On this episode of Nintendo Pow Block, Edward Varnell and Corey Dirrig begin fun and speculative discussion about Nintendo Switch Online and whether we could finally see DS, 3DS, Wii, WiiWare, or DSi Shop games added to the service on Switch 2. They also talk about a voice actor profile that may have accidentally leaked the next Xenoblade Chronicles game, sparking plenty of fan speculation. They also break down the news that Apex Legends is ending support on the original Nintendo Switch, with Season 29 confirmed as the final update before the game goes offline in August, while continuing on Switch 2 with progress carrying over. They then discuss Nintendo's response to the Dispatch controversial censorship situation, concerns around Google's Project Genie AI copying familiar games, growing developer interest in Switch 2, rumors of more GameCube games coming to NSO, the Disney Afternoon Collection finally hitting Switch, new details on Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, the upcoming Virtual Boy games on NSO, this week's new releases and updates, and wrap things up with listener questions and community discussion.This and more on Nintendo Pow Block!

First, though, the trio discusses what they've played over the course of the last few weeks off! Todd has gotten Digimon Story Time Stranger, and he has a lot of thoughts on the nostalgia, the Persona-style vibes, and, um...the "plot." Yeah...the plot... As for Will, he's continued his time in FEH, Marvel Rivals, Goddess of Victory Nikkei, and a "secret title" he is happy to tease a little! Then, with Scott, he got Fantasian Neo Dimension for Christmas, as well as playing Astro Bot with his wife, reviewing The Legend of Heroes Trails Beyond The Horizon, and more! In the news, the team has much to talk about from the previous weeks, including the arrival of Fire Emblem Path of Radiance on Nintendo Switch Online, Mario Tennis Fever getting an overview trailer, the true origins of Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, and Metroid Prime 4's side characters and more! Finally, in the main event...it's the 10th Annual Nintendo Draft! What will the hosts pick for their predictions for 2026? Just how big do they think Nintendo will go in the new year? Find out here! So sit back, relax, and enjoy Nintendo Entertainment Podcast!

Welcome to a special bonus episode of Nintendo Therapy, a celebration of all things Nintendo (and beyond), where we check in on the latest Nintendo Switch Online additions like Wario World, Rayman 2, and Tonic Trouble, break down why these deep cuts matter, and react to a huge night at The Game Awards 2025, including the massive sweep by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. We also share hands-on impressions from recent demos and releases such as Octopath Traveler 0, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Dunjungle, Yooka-Replaylee, Full Metal Schoolgirl, and more, highlighting what surprised us, what worked, and what might be worth grabbing on sale. As always, Nintendo Therapy is part of the Sidepanel Network, and remember—we're Nintendo fans, not Nintendo experts.
Streets of Rage 2 launched in 1992 on the Sega Genesis and is widely regarded as one of the greatest beat 'em ups of all time.

With refined combat, iconic music by Yuzo Koshiro, and lasting influence on the genre, Streets of Rage 2 remains a defining classic.Content Creation Gear https://n64josh.com/elgato use code N64JoshFor ad-free episodes, subscribe here. https://anchor.fm/nintendo-power-cast/subscribeConnect with meMy Nintendo Switch Recommendations: http://n64josh.com/amazonDiscord: http://n64josh.com/discord Twitch: https://twitch.com/n64josh Tiktok: https://tiktok.com/n64josh Twitter: https://twitter.com/n64josh

Anitra: 54 plays of 28 unique games. H-index: 4 (Chit Chat, Trio, INK, Leaders, Odin) – and Andrew is the most played-with person by a huge margin! Andrew: 40 plays of 18 unique games. H-index 4 (Chit Chat, Leaders, Odin, Trio). 35 games together with Anitra! Pretty much everything was 2 players or 5 players. Check out our recent reviews for INK and Odin.LeadersJungo (check out our review!)Logic & LoreS’mores Galore Roast & WriteFor Sale 0:10:40 The Family Gamers Community Welcome to our newest community members on Facebook! In these darkest days of the year, let’s share some light with each other. Stop in and say hello. #Backtalk We asked what you like to do with your family that ISN’T boardgames. A few of you answered on the #backtalk channel on the Discord and in our Facebook community. 0:19:00 Video Games with Engaged Family Gaming Stephen Duetzmann helps us with the best video games to give this year, via the Engaged Family Gaming holiday list. But first we talk about videogames we’ve been playing: Dogpile (on Steam)Metroid Prime 4Dredge (more info)Hollow Knight: Silksong (which Andrew just finished – more info) 0:36:00 Consoles PS5 or Xbox Series X – They are very expensive and not focused on family-friendly titles. Not recommended unless you really want it for games you can’t get elsewhere. 0:37:15 Multi-platform Games Civilization VII – the rough edges have been sanded off. Pick a leader, but jump to different civilizations in each age. Plays pretty well on any console and on PC, but if you have a Switch 2, buy it for that system, so you can use the mouse controller. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown – turn based tactical game that still forces you to move forward like a typical side-scrolling brawler. Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar – cozy “farm and town” game with engine-building. Has a week cycle as well as a day cycle. Sonic Racing: Crossworlds – good if you don’t have Mario Kart. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted 0:45:00 Playstation Exclusives “Playstation didn’t put out anything that didn’t involve mass-murder.” Ghost of Yotei – only for grownups, but gorgeous. nothing else really new, but Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII, and Spider-man 2 are still great choices. 0:46:50 Xbox Exclusives Also not much new that isn’t “headshot-central”. But Star Wars Outlaws is updated and even better than it was last year. 0:47:45 Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 Both consoles are good choices: Switch 2 is very cool. Original Switch is the value choice, and those games will still work if you decide to upgrade later to the Switch 2. Mario Kart World Donkey Kong Bananza Also recommended: Metroid Prime 4 – if you liked Metroid Primeand Kirby Air Riders “If you get a Switch 2, don’t limit yourself to just Switch 2 games” – get older original Switch games, too. A lot of them have been updated for the better graphics of the Switch 2, and they’ll be great! 0:53:00 Online Play and Online Sales You need to do the math and decide if these are worth it for your family. Good alternative to buying a single game if you don’t know what game your recipient would want. Nintendo Switch Online – $80 for up to 8 users (don’t all have to be in the same location), even cheaper if you only need one user. This is absolutely necessary to play online AND gives you access to a bunch of older games. XBox Game Pass – probably not worth it JUST for kids. Worth it for Andrew & Anitra, where we have many people all taking advantage. PS Plus – again, needed for online play. Minimum $80/year for the Essentials plan. As always: If you're buying a console for a holiday present, do NOT leave it in the box! Don't forget to set it up before Christmas! (Plug in, connect to the internet, download updates, install a game or two. You might need to update the firmware on the controller.) It's a much more effective surprise if it's ready to play on Christmas morning. And don’t forget about free to play games like Fortnite or Disney Speed Storm! Those are good to add ahead of time so they can play right away. And don't forget about The Family Gamers holiday gift guide, too!

Battletoads is our NSO Game of the Week, and this one is a true Nintendo classic. Released on the NES in 1991, it became famous for its fast paced variety, cartoon style, and one of the most intense difficulty curves in gaming history. Tonight we look at what made Battletoads so memorable, how it mixed beat em up action with racing and platforming, and why it has remained a staple of retro gaming conversations for more than thirty years.We also dive into its development at Rare, the origins of the Battletoads characters, the wild level design, and how the game earned its reputation as one of the hardest games ever made. Plus, we will ask the community the big question, what would you review Battletoads at today?Content Creation Gear https://n64josh.com/elgato use code N64JoshFor ad-free episodes, subscribe here. https://anchor.fm/nintendo-power-cast/subscribeConnect with meMy Nintendo Switch Recommendations: http://n64josh.com/amazonDiscord: http://n64josh.com/discord Twitch: https://twitch.com/n64josh Tiktok: https://tiktok.com/n64josh Twitter: https://twitter.com/n64josh

I've heard it described as playing a Stephen King novel, and I couldn't agree more.The game goes as far as to have you play AS a writer (Alan Wake), and while you don't write anything yourself, you stumble through a horror movie set in a novel, finding pages of a manuscript that keep the plot moving as you fight enemies with guns or flashlights. Or should I say guns AND flashlights. Combat isn't its strong suit, but Alan Wake tells a HELL of a story.The Al to my Barry, ye olde Bradley McCue, joins me on the show this week. He was as stoked to jump into this game as I was, and now that we're both done our first playthrough, we have a lot to say about this one. The entire game is 100% story focused, so if you've read this far (does anyone read these?), know that spoilers are incoming.And before we wake Alan, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week we talk the indie game Ball X Pit, the best games to play while high, and will we ever see Sega Saturn or Dreamcast games on Nintendo Switch Online?Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One'!! This one features 3 narrative heavy horror games: Eternal Darkness, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Heavy Rain.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
