Chris from KaniPro Games joins me to chat about Digital Games Expo 2022, one of the biggest indie gaming events in Japan. We talk about what it’s like to be both a visitor and an exhibitor, the culture of indie games in Japan, and our favorite titles we played. I also share early thoughts on Pokemon Scarlet / Violet and Tactics Ogre Reborn. Plus, news about what new Nintendo merch you should buy!
