No. Well, according to Matt. While nothing was BAD in the direct, and plenty was GOOD: Nintendo didn't justify the new system or the cost increases (Tariffs not included). Personally, I was easier to please. Maybe be... more

  • Critical Hit

    A very good gaming podcast for fans of YoVG. I appreciate the critical takes from the hosts, it makes for refreshing commentary for the most part; but, the tenor of the program is overwhelmingly negative, which does get exhausting from time to time.

Q: What was the impetus to create a game with such high narrative ambitions with a small team?
