This week, Lotus, Niki, and John contemplate Nintendo's strange (but maybe deliberate) choice to launch Animal Crossing's Switch 2 edition, Pokemon Pokopia, and Tomodachi Life in one tidy two month stretch. Also:

• Epic lays off 1,000 due to Fortnite "underperforming"
• OpenAI cans Sora and Disney exits investment
• Alex from Street Fighter 6 married his adopted sister!
• Nintendo to price digital and physical differently
• PlayStation raising all hardware prices
• Nintendo planning new Star Fox, Ocarina of Time remake, no 3D Mario in 2026
• Wanderstop dev Ivy Road is shutting down
• Funi Raccoon Game is Irish in surprising and delightful ways
• Tomodachi Life's demo reminds us why the Wii era was so successful
• Marathon might make it????
• BLΛƆKPIИK has a new EP out!
• We answer your burning HIVE QUESTIONS from our lovely Discord

Thanks so much for listening! Leave us a review and we'll read it on the show!
