Will Cooling

When is Starstruck Vagabond getting onto the Switch, Nick?

Shelby Benton

Does anybody at Second Wind plan on playing Atomfall/will there be any coverage related to it?

Lil' Cass (CJ)

What grade would you give today's Nintendo Direct? I'd give it a B

Far Too Many Frogs

Hey, this episode is half a gross! Also, if viewers decide to take the leap Into game development will second wind be able to offer support? even if it's just a shout out?

Pixel Grip

Since Nick is back from GDC, I'm wondering if there was ever a game you guys played at a past event (E3, GDC, etc) that didn't impress you at the show, but then turned out to be really good when it officially released?

Pixel Grip

Do you think that the Nintendo Direct this morning should've been played alongside the Switch 2 direct or do you think there was some benefit to them having their own direct less than a week before the Switch 2 direct?

Ryallen

The release of AC: Shadows is proving more divisive than a normal Ubisoft release usually is and I'd love to hear you guys' thoughts on the topic. About if Shadows is benefitting from the culture war, if the game is actually a standout from other AC games in any significant way, about the ratio of people angry there's a black guy in it vs. people who just don't like Ubisoft titles, if Shadows' success means anything in the grand scheme of AAA "declining" as people keep hoping it will, that sort of thing. I can't really deny that I've been hoping that it would do well partially due to the culture war and partially due to my position on AAA games needing to exist to sustain the gaming industry but I know that feeds into the issue of AAA games remaining stagnant despite the industry's need for innovation. Which is ironic since I'm also really excited for the Raidou and Saga Frontier 2 remakes on Steam so perhaps I'm part of the problem

Steady Goblin Wood

Whatcha been watching: Any early thoughts or opinions on the initial cast release for Doomsday? Excited to see where it goes, but it feels like a lot of names are missing as well.

Shua

Since we're a just under a week away from the Switch 2 Direct, any predictions on what we'll see there?

Cameron Gore

Ssh no one tell Nick what Marty said last week about Halo 🤫

JikoDays

I'm curious what your guy's opinions on the Virtual Game Card system Nintendo announced today. Seems like a step toward the original vision of the Xbox One without tying things to physical copies. Surprising how Nintendo is the only console maker that wants to experiment with additional incentives for buying digital games.

Mrticketron

The absolute cojones on those lil freaks in japan to get a last droplet of life out of the nintendo switch

Ryan Petron

April 2nd will be the next direct about the Switch 2. And predictions or hopes for the console

Blackmage

Marty: What Japanese IP do you think is most deserving of a reboot/sequel? KC: What IP do you think would do well as a Genshin like/ crossover? Nick: Favorite thing you ate in California?

Inverse Skies

Once again I don’t have a specific question this week. I just enjoy using these threads to wish you guys a good podcast and say I am looking forward to it.

TooManySpreadsheets

Maybe it's just my recency bias, but it seems like more East Asian devs (not just the established Japanese powerhouses) are starting to break into the Western/US market more. Lies of P is from a Korean studio, Black Myth Wukong is from a Chinese studio, and some cool-looking upcoming games like Lost Soul Aside and Tides of Annihilation are both from Chinese teams. Is this a new phenomenon, or just something I haven't been paying attention to until now? Do you think these titles are outliers, or indicative of a trend?
