In this episode of The Game Adventure, Dan dives into the shifting economics of the gaming industry. Is it time we start "subscribing" to our consoles like we do our phones? We also think about whether 10-year development cycles are reaching a breaking point for AAA studios.
Plus, it’s a massive week for Pokémon fans as we celebrate the 30th Anniversary with the launch of FireRed and LeafGreen on Switch, a deep dive into the cozy construction of Pokémon Pokopia, and our first thoughts on the Gen 10 reveal, Winds and Waves. Finally, we talk Mario Tennis Fever to see if it’s the right fit for your family game night.
Topics covered:
Hardware Subscriptions: Paying for consoles like smartphones.
The "House of Glass": The cost of AAA overreach.
Pokémon 30th Anniversary: FireRed/LeafGreen, Pokopia, and Winds and Waves.
Mario Tennis Fever Review: Is the chaos too much?
