This week was a hot time for Jonah — really hot time as Los Angeles was sweltering and the Arctic was literally on fire. However, that didn’t stop the crew from doing the podcast (albeit a day late), though the news was a bit thin again.
The news items for the week include:
- The C64 Mini is coming to North America on October 9
- Datamined logo offers more evidence Taiko Drum Master for Switch is coming West
- Next Xbox will focus on “XCloud” game streaming
- GOG: Classic console games “might be possible”
The Question of the Week: “What little known game did you love?”
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.
I saw articles about the C64 Mini a while ago, but hearing you talk about it got me really psyched. I forgot about all those fun games.
