This week, Nintendo treated Splatoon fans to an in-depth look at the series' upcoming entry, Splatoon 3. We chat about the new stages, mechanics, game modes, and weapons, as well as what else we hope to see in the soon-to-be-released title.
We'll also be discussing Twitch and YouTube Gaming's plummeting viewership figures, how fewer than 1% of Netflix subscribers play Netflix Games, and whether video games are really that expensive (or it only seems that way).
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the history of the Aladdin Deck Enhancer.

Episode 33 - Sony Loves Exclusives... Except When Microsoft Owns Call Of Duty
This past week has seen a ton of Sony news, so we’re doing a roundup of PlayStation headlines. We'll be talking about how Sony will retire the PS5's Accolades feature later this year, Sony's fear that Microsoft's ownership of the Call of Duty franchise will have the power to influence users' console choices, and the official PlayStation mobile controller coming from Backbone.
We'll also be discussing how Nintendo’s digital software sales now account for over half of its overall software sales, the newly announced handheld cloud gaming device from Logitech and Tencent, and a look back at the Ouya on the failed console's 10th anniversary.
Finally, @LudoTimbo of The Leetist Podcast challenges us to movie/video game trivia.

Episode 35 - Will The Death Of Video Game Consoles Kill Sony And Nintendo?
The digital-only age is coming, folks. We may not like it, but it's hard to deny that streaming services are the future of entertainment, including for video games. But when customers no longer need a console to play games, what will that mean for Sony and Nintendo, which don't have the PC presence that Microsoft has?
We also discuss how Nintendo of America contractors are calling out the company for sexual harassment and a "frat house" environment, how the Final Fantasy 16 director says the series is "struggling" to adapt, and Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa's promise that the Nintendo Switch won't be getting a price increase despite higher production costs.
Finally, Donnie takes us on a Retro Rewind in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at what was going on in the gaming world in August 1992.
