The Six-Button Samurai is away on a spring vacation for this-here Episode 72. So GameAgentET, opting not to subject our listeners to an unhinged 1-hour soliloquy about the evils of gaming while on the toilet, decides to bring on fellow Ruminators Hoptimus (Retro Futurist Culture, Game Roominations) and Charlie (Brevity Box) for this special show. Discussions are made about the recently-delayed Grand Theft Auto VI, our favorite industry-defining game of our lifetimes, and the sobering new norm of prices going up, up and way up for game systems and software. We three ponder about these price-volatile times… if it’s temporary or here to stay. Just tell us where you WANT IT from Oh GOD it Hz!

Console Launch Blues, Greens, and Reds. The Six-Button Samurai and @GameAgentET (OGiH) delve into their own experiences on either side of the pond in trying to lock down a Nintendo Switch 2, but also swerve pretty hard into the history of console launches, which once upon a time, had ZERO hype, they just managed to show up at a Toys 'R' Us nearby. We also discuss a simultaneous playthrough of a Squaresoft classic that had eluded both of us in Secret of Mana, and another new Jeff Minter joint, with his wildly frenetic and colorful style now gracing a remake of Atari's I, Robot. Don't miss the latest OH GOD IT Hz!

@GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six-Button Samurai are joined by @Hoptimus (RFC) of Retro Futurist Culture to grapple with the arrival of Nintendo Switch 2 after the Direct hype cooled a bit. While we're still pretty excited about the hardware itself, the nickel-and-dime nature of charging for updated visuals for older games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (not to mention overall game prices) feel a bit greedy. The gang also takes on the uneven state of fighting games in 2025, specifically some of the upheaval in the Tekken 8 community following their Season 2 launch, some weird marketing moves from SNK. and what may be next for Street Fighter VI in Season 3. Summer Games Fest is also within shouting distance, and we're intrigued to see what Not-E3 has in store at such a weird point for the industry. It's a packed hour of power on the latest episode of OH GOD IT Hz!
