July 3, 2026 · 1 h 29 min

Show notes

After the Splatoon Raiders Direct, Rhythm Heaven Groove’s release, and another week with Star Fox, Switch 2’s summer is starting to fully take shape. Join Logan Plant, Peer Schneider, Miranda Sanchez, and Seth Macy as they discuss if Switch 2’s sophomore year is off to a good start. Plus, following PlayStation’s bombshell news that it’s ending physical game production in 2028, the panel discusses what that means for the future of games ownership and if Nintendo will ever follow suit. Stick around to hear about Mario Kart World’s latest update and a potential leak of a big first-party Switch 2 game at the very end of the show.
