Episode 214

We're back after a three week hiatus, and there is much to discuss! Between Summer Games Fest and PlayStation and Xbox's showcases, there are a slew of games that caught our eye. This is also the first episode released after the Nintendo Switch 2 launch, so we dive deep into our first impressions with the new console and discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Mario Kart World, Pokémon Scarlet, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, PEAK, The Headliners). This episode was recorded in June 2025. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase (dylan.robert.chase@gmail.com).
