About this episode

In this week's episode, the industry landscape shifts as Nintendo posts robust profits despite a hardware sales dip, while legendary developer Warren Spector announces his retirement. We also unpack Harvey Smith's new venture, Black Pony Immersive, 2K's strategic move to rival EA Sports FC, and the unexpectedly deep RPG mechanics heading to the Tomb Raider remake.

Meanwhile, the panel shares their top picks of the week, ranging from the tactical tabletop depths of Duel of Meloch and the deck-building brilliance of Balatro, to the pastoral charm of Fields of Mistria and a nostalgic deep dive into CD ripping. #gameburst
