The 24th episode of TheGamer Podcast is out now and features discussion on the biggest news of the week as well as a deep-dive into the latest Nintendo Direct.
TheGamer Podcast is hosted by Eric Switzer and this week's episode features Issy van der Velde, Trevor Ford, Jade King, Mahin Kesore, and Jamie Latour as guests. You can listen to the podcast through Podbean, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and several other podcast apps.
To start off this week's episode, Eric Switzer is joined by community manager Trevor Ford and news editor Issy van der Velde to dive into the biggest stories of the week. Some of the highlights include Activision confirming that its games will remain multiplatform in the future, although the phrasing continues to be vague, and the continuing drama of the Horizon Forbidden West PS4 to PS5 free upgrade.
After the news, Eric is joined by Jade King, Mahin Kesore, and Jamie Latour to dive into the latest Nintendo Direct. Some of the highlights for the team include Kirby inhaling a car, Mario Strikers Battle League, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series. One of the more questionable inclusions is the 48-course DLC for Mario Kart 8, which has been fairly divisive as fans clamour for a new Mario Kart.
To finish the show, Eric, Jade King, Mahin Kesore, and Jamie Latour read the responses we got to last week's question, which asked you what games you think you've spent more than 500 hours with. This week we want to know - what did you think of the Direct? Did you have a favorite reveal or a biggest miss? Tweet us using the hashtag #AskTheGamer and we'll read your answer on the show next week!
