A whole mess has been made in the Smash Bros. competitive tournament scene, with statements from Smash World Tour, Nintendo, and Panda Global all leading in different directions causing some very big moves by those involved. We discuss the news, and how it might be indicative of key communication problems within an apparently siloed Nintendo. Late in our show, a long time podcast listener calls in to help us make sense of the issue, and share a really cool small community ritual he partakes in every week. Community is a big part of why we come back to Video Games, and another episode of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

 

Also in the News:

 

* Fuser to shut down this month

* Playstation Tournaments on PS5

* Game Awards to be Shorter this Year

* Twitch new Shield Mode

 

All this and more on the show where EVERY gamer has a voice-- Orange Lounge Radio!

LIVE on the VOG Network, Sunday nights at 6 Pacific, 9 Eastern www.vognetwork.com
