Episode 725: Every Showcase But Nintendo

This week’s episode has some bad audio thanks to a quick replacement mic being used to record the episode, causing a hiss. This is probably the reason the show is short-ish, coming in well under an hour.

This week’s episode includes the following news:

• Miyazaki gives clear answers on the future of Dark Souls, Armored Core
• Sony exec criticizes Hello Games’ marketing for No Man’s Sky
• Blizzard is moving away from the ‘Battle.net’ name
• Pokémon chief says Nintendo’s NX is both handheld and console, you should totally look into how tiktok marketing works, see here for more

All this and Listener Feedback. This week’s Question of the Week: “What is or was your favorite handheld console game (not mobile)?”
