The Game Junction Podcast

How do you feel about the trend toward digital-only game releases? On this week's episode of The Game Junction Podcast, Brandon Hurles and Marky Mark dive into this pressing issue, sparked by the announcement of the Lollipop Chainsaw Repop Collector's Edition, now available for pre-order exclusively on Limited Run Games. We express our concerns about the lack of physical copies, a move that seems to be gaining traction in the gaming industry. Could Nintendo be the last holdout for physical media in the next generation of consoles? Tune in to hear our thoughts on this evolving trend and what it might mean for gamers who cherish their physical collections.
Despite our demanding schedules this week (busy busy), we still found time to catch some exciting updates. While the Deadpool Wolverine release might be delayed, we're watching other releases and events to ensure we bring you the latest. Our weekends may be jam-packed, but we'll make time to share our impressions with you as soon as we hit the theaters. Stay connected with us across social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for more updates, and join the conversation about the future of gaming.
