Episode 70: Entering the Next Generation with Switch 2
@GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six-Button Samurai are joined by @Hoptimus (RFC) of Retro Futurist Culture to grapple with the arrival of Nintendo Switch 2 after the Direct hype cooled a bit. While we're still pretty excited about the hardware itself, the nickel-and-dime nature of charging for updated visuals for older games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (not to mention overall game prices) feel a bit greedy. The gang also takes on the uneven state of fighting games in 2025, specifically some of the upheaval in the Tekken 8 community following their Season 2 launch, some weird marketing moves from SNK. and what may be next for Street Fighter VI in Season 3. Summer Games Fest is also within shouting distance, and we're intrigued to see what Not-E3 has in store at such a weird point for the industry. It's a packed hour of power on the latest episode of OH GOD IT Hz!

Game Agent ET (aka Eddy)
Game Agent ET (aka Eddy) occasionally phones home to the US from Japan, where he has set up covert operations since 2007 under the guise of an English teacher. Originally birthed from the dusty trails of Tucson, Arizona, ET has shown great intrigue in earthly customs and rituals, such as playing video games, learning about Japanese culture, partaking in a fantasy football league, drawing depictions of humans with big kawaii eyes, and engaging in other artsy endeavors.
