This week, Niki and John are joined by game developer and former colleague (and current friend) Fūnk-é Joseph to discuss the Nintendo DS! That's it! That's all! Just two hours of Nintendo DS! Actually, you'd probably be totally cool with that, but we did move onto other topics, including:

• the Nintendo Switch 2 preorder mess
• Donkey Kong Bananza's clear connection to Red Faction
• how Mario Kart World is attracting the haters
• Marathon alpha
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the world's most French game
• explaining Blue Prince

All of this and your HIVE QUESTIONS, answered each and every episode.
