This episode follows the landmark 500th episode, and this next episode is dominated by Nintendo, both in the news and looking back at the Gaming Flashback for Wii Music and the infamous E3 performance starring Reggie Fils-Aime and Cammie Dunaway.
The news includes:
- Nintendo Labo first week sales sluggish in Japan, UK
- Atari announces Atari VCS pre-sale begins May 30th on IndieGogo
- Eastfound looks to scratch that retro Zelda itch
- Nintendo starts moving to a Wii-like “non-gamer” strategy for the Switch
All of this and Listener Feedback.

Imagine that, a well known game developer finally says what everyone has been thinking, “it’s the walking dead.” Will Wright, famous for TheSims, SimCity and upcoming Spore believes E3 is in a state now where we’ll never see the old E3 and we’ll never accept the slimmed down anorexic thing we’re getting now.
