NPC Gaming Podcast

Gamescom is here, and we have some fun (and not-so-fun) summer announcements to get to! The team talks Switch 2 framerate struggles, price hikes for consoles people actually buy, a look at the new Resident Evil movie AND Fallout Season 2, and... Mario's 40th birthday? Lots to digest!

The FBI found a list worth investigating... a ROM list! Free/inexpensive games live on as Microsoft backs down from premium pricing. We have updates on the Zelda movie casting, new Donkey Kong movie leaks... in fact A LOT of gaming media is on topic for this episode. Fuen also gives his take on Donkey Kong Bananza and Tony Hawk remakes, while Cordova hones his Wolfenstein pronunciation!

Microsoft makes major cuts to Xbox across the board, with huge shake-ups for most of their studios and A LOT of game cancellations—we break down the destruction and leak a whole lot of last-minute stuff (Naughty Dog's latest, Marvel goodness, and Fallout) in this week's episode! 

For fun stuff, we have a finalized Street Fighter movie cast we're MOSTLY excited for... figure out who doesn't make our cut by tuning in!

You ready for Sony to own Harry Potter? How about 50 Cent in the new Street Fighter movie, that's cool... right? Oh, we got takes! This week, we recover from the Summer Games Fest hangover and the Switch 2 launch with updates on Switch 2's software woes, and Capcom celebrates a huge success... and earns the ire of PC players worldwide! BIG episode yet again, gaming's moving quickly... enjoy!

Somehow, James has returned for possibly our biggest episode yet! All our previous leaks and rumors have come to fruition right in time for the release of the Switch 2. Resident Evil 9 makes its debut at Summer Games Fest, Sony and Xbox have competing conferences with some big (and mid) announcements, and we have hands-on impressions of the Switch 2! 

There's so much more, including updates on The Legend of Zelda movie and our spoiler review of The Last of Us season 2... so sit back and enjoy!

Star Wars Battlefront 2 makes the comeback of a century, we have Last of Us season 2 finale spoiler free thoughts, news on who is directing the Elden Ring movie, and we say goodbye to the Switch in its last week of relevancy.

That's right, quick turnaround on this one since Fuen will be obsessing over his Switch 2 next week. Until then, ENJOY!

GTA 6 has been delayed, Microsoft continues to make the worst business decisions in the world, and publishers are getting real aggressive with their game prices... at least we got Doom The Dark Ages?

Randy Pitchford can't convince us to buy Borderlands 4, but you can always use some of that attention to listen to your NPC boys! Also, WTF is happening with Bungie? OUR TAKES!

Oblivion is back in all its janky glory with an amazing coat of paint, EA goes on a firing spree, and Nintendo's Switch 2 pre-orders are just as crazy as you thought they'd be (and Fuen secured one!)

The fellas talk through this month's highs and lows in the gaming industry as the calm before Summer Game Fest (*cough E3 lite*) begins! Listen, share, enjoy!

Episode 50 time! We celebrate two years of non-stop (bi-weekly) gaming news with EVERYTHING Switch 2, from features to software and... pricing. We look at Minecraft's insane success at the box office and eat our own words, BIG Zelda movie news and a ton more. It's a big episode. 

Fuen and Cordova include a very special "Did They Get it Right?" looking at the console launches of every generation till now. Which one is the BEST generation? We got takes!
