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.
Microsoft’s fast to push out their press release, probably hoping to overshadow any reports Sony may be releasing for sales numbers. At this point, we’ll have to believe their press release as fact until someone proves it otherwise; Microsoft would hate to be caught in a lie. Unfortunately, NPD figures aren’t collected in Europe so we have to wait for all the other metric gathering companies to release final December 2007 figures.
