According to anonymous sources, development kits for Nintendo’s next console are now with key partner studios, and the console's launch is planned for next year. Although specific details on the console are being kept closely guarded, Nintendo has previously stated that it wants to convert as many of the Switch’s 100m+ user base as possible to its next system, although some third-party publishers are said to have expressed concern that legacy support for Switch games could negatively affect sales of next-gen titles. We discuss this idea, as well as imagine what the next gen of Nintendo might look like.

We'll also be talking about how Microsoft is now selling controller replacement parts for Xbox, how Final Fantasy 6's director admits Square Enix staff want a remake of the title as much as fans do, and how indie games have entered the era of bespoke publishing.

Finally, Donnie takes us all the way back to August 1997 in Retro Rewind.
