The episode is posted a little late due to unforeseen circumstances, and focuses on Kickstarter videogames, both failures and successes. The podcast also asks Pokémon Go fans if they really needed those tracking software for the game.

This week’s news includes:

“Other surprises” in store for NX, says Ubisoft
Fixes promised for botched Marvel Ultimate Alliance ports
Pokémon Go fans rage as tracking site shuts down
PlayStation VR requires about 60-square feet of space to use

Let us know what you think.

Episode 350: Where In the World Is Gaming Podcast?Episode 350: Where In the World Is Gaming Podcast?

Last week’s podcast was the victim of Jonah’s ISP going down, so this week is a mix of last week’s and this week’s news, as well as a Gaming History on industry legend Nolan Bushnell.

The news includes:

EA rumored to nearing deal to stream games via Comcast
Nintendo responds to gay marriage petition
$300 3D printer coming early 2015
Kinect-free Xbox One coming June 9 for $399
Philips sues Nintendo, seeks to halt Wii U sales in U.S.

The Question of the Week: “What is your favorite educational videogame?”

Rock Band 2 Trailer – Foo FightersRock Band 2 Trailer – Foo Fighters

If you’re a rock band fan, you’ll want to checkout their new hype wagon trailer. Nothing new here, really, looks like they’ve added some “70’s style” effects to the character animations on certain areas. The Rock Band 2 title seems to adopt much from its original game in terms of graphics, rendering and overall design.

Notice the fret board looks the same, they’re sticking with the “square” pattern matching boxes for playing specific notes/beats. Some folks prefer the Guitar Hero “circle” patterns but so be it, they’re sticking with their current design. Hopefully, they’ll glow the hammer-ons or make them a bit more apprant because many Guitar Hero folks have a steep learning curve with the smaller notes for hammer-ons.

Episode 596: More Sound ProblemsEpisode 596: More Sound Problems

The sound problems continue, while Jonah complains about not being able to live stream Dragon Quest XI; this issue is something that’s frustrated PlayStation, PC and Switch gamers for the past few years, and there doesn’t seem to be a reason why the restrictions are there.

Otherwise, the news of the week includes:

Mass Effect and Dragon Age leads leave BioWare
Halo Infinite now planned for a Fall 2021 release
Square Enix delists original Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age as S version comes out
