Hey everyone - Jon here,

There have been some valid criticisms of our lack of Patreon output lately. It isn't enough for us to only supply Patron Credits & perform to Live Audience, we need to fulfil all our commitments. I think a big pillar of this comes down to the type of content we're making being incompatible with Patreon and I would like to get started on fixing this. We're still going to continue covering new Switch 2 games but this shouldn't come at the expense of more creatively expressive videos. I miss exploring different topics and want to get back to doing them ASAP.

Thanks, hopefully the video sums up these points clearly.

It's good to hear you still have that passion for covering more retrospective stuff. The lack of Patreon stuff is understandable, but I'm still glad to support here where I can. And it's funny you bring up Chinatown wars, as I've been playing it for a little while recently lol. And the thing about ring fit is something I can relate to as well. Good luck to you and everyone in the GVG family! We'll always be here and appreciative of all the fun gaming discussions you bring about. Happy gaming!🙏

Hey can I make a recommendation I miss this week in Nintendo

Thanks for the update Jon! That's great to hear - some of my fave GVG videos to date are stuff like your Snoopy Concert video and Daniel's F-Zero GX/AX video, where you are just talking about a piece of gaming history that you are clearly passionate about. I'm glad those aren't being left behind in favour of more topical, as you put it, GameXplain-style content.

appreciate you making a video about this jon. shows a lot of integrity. while the patreon aspect itself doesn't bother me, i do look forward to you dudes making more videos based on passions and interests. i definitely understand the value of the topical news and reviews and channel growth so i would never be against it, but i love seeing those other more expressive videos since that's something i can only get here and that's the kind of stuff i value the most. much love dude

Just had a conversation about this with some other patrons yesterday actually. Totally understand the focus on Switch 2 in recent months, it was a huge deal and you guys have had arguably some of the best coverage of it. Glad to hear the more unique style of videos aren't taking a back seat since they really do add some spice to the channel's lineup in a space that can definitely feel oversaturated at times (which is just the nature of gaming and Nintendo-leaning content unfortunately). I don't envy y'all having to fight the algorithm, and myself and others very much miss content like GVGCast, What's That Track, etc but I understand it's probably a nightmare to maintain the channel's health when that kind of stuff underperforms. Would love to see some of it return even if the format changes but that's easier said than done I assume, so just keep on keepin' on the best y'all can!

Looking forward to the content. Although thought I'd mention I think I'm missing from the end credits after joining early September 😅

I feel you guys so much, feeling like the passion projects aren't as lucrative as the topical news videos are is the worst feeling ever. Hopefully you guys can get back to what you want to do!

The channel's Switch 2 coverage in general has been excellent, and I'm glad you all have been able to grow the channel a lot through that. I have, however, really been missing the more passion project-type videos, so I'm really happy to hear there are more in the works.

I'll go a step further and say I miss GVGCast as well (but I assume it just wasn't feasible anymore). In general, I think I just really enjoy hearing this group talk about games together, no matter the format.

Very much appreciate the clarity! Small question about a more specific thing, does Derrick have an estimate on when NSO Game Club Season 2 will start? (does he now have to call it Nintendo Classics Game Club?) Just curious if he knows or if he’s decided to not continue it, it’s one of my favorite series

Thanks ❤️
