Send us a textIn the latest episode of the Spectator Mode Podcast, the crew kicked things off by discussing the games they've been playing and the shows they've been watching. The crew then dove into their initial impressions of the highly anticipated Capcom Fighting Collection 2, exploring its gameplay mechanics and features, moving on to a lively debate about Forza Horizon 5 heading to the PS5 and how suddenly it's a great game. Of course, we didn't shy away from major headlines, covering Sony's PS5 price hike in several regions and speculating on the cost of the rumored Nintendo Switch 2 in North America. Other topics included Shuhei Yoshida's remarks about the Switch 2, rumors of an "Oblivion" remake, and news from the INDIE Live Expo. On a more somber note, they reflected on Niantic's announcement of layoffs and the broader impact on the industry. #playstation5 #oblivion #switch2 #shuheiyoshida #indieliveexpo #gamingpodcast #videogamesThat and more on Spectator Mode Podcast episode 185!

Send us a textOn Spectator Mode Podcast episode 184, the crew kicks things off by diving into the games they've been playing and the shows and movies they've been watching. One of the big highlights is the debut trailer for Tron: Ares, which has the team buzzing with mixed excitement and frustration about Disney's latest sci-fi venture. From there, the conversation shifts gears to more serious territory, touching on the impact of tariffs and how they've trickled down into consumer tech and gaming—sometimes in unexpected ways. The team also discusses how Switch 2 pre-orders are being delayed in Canada, sparking a broader debate on hardware availability and Nintendo's next-gen rollout strategy.The Nintendo talk doesn't stop there as the hosts weigh in on the company's decision to introduce variable game pricing for the Switch 2, and Nintendo's defense of that choice. They also question why Nintendo Tour isn't offered as a freebie or bundled in, especially as competition in mobile and handheld gaming heats up. There's also a good laugh (and a little heat) over people defending the Steam Deck over the upcoming Switch 2. For those feeling priced out of the new console, Nintendo's not-so-subtle answer is: just buy a Switch 1! The episode wraps by explaining Nintendo's game key cards and a surprising twist in comic book news—the All-New Venom host has been revealed, and it's none other than Mary Jane.Hosts:Keith MitchellScott AdamsKarl SmartThanks for listening and watching!Support the showYou can find the Spectator Mode podcast on the following podcast platforms.

The Spectator Mode crew and guest Baron from LV1 Gaming discuss the major news from the gaming industry this week. First up is the Xbox podcast business update that addressed the state of Xbox, its ongoing plans for going multiplatform (not that they aren't already), and what we thought about the podcast. Then we jump over to the PlayStation side of things, as they also had some big news this week regarding its plans for ramping up its PS5/PC games, the PlayStation 5 not selling as much as Sony wanted, and the state of PlayStation.
