To gain clues about the future, it's helpful to look at the past. But if the dominance of mobile, digital, and free-to-play video games in 2021 is anything to go by, the future of video games may be unrecognizable to those of us who grew up blowing into our NES cartridges. But is it all bleak, or can we find some ray of gaming hope in the face of these dark, dystopian days?
We'll also be discussing PlayStation's newly patented system for coaching players who have "fallen below a skill threshold," how Square Enix's president already knows you hate NFTs, Ed Boon's blessing on a petition to remake the original Mortal Kombat trilogy, and the wrestler who owns 2,706 copies of the Burger King game Sneak King.
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking back at the legacy of the game design giant, Gunpei Yokoi.
Hosts: @retrogamebrews, @donniegretro, @wrytersview
Opening theme: "Gamers Week Theme" by Akseli Takanen
Patron theme: "Chiptune Boss" by @donniegretro
Closing theme: "Neon City" by @donniegretro
