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!

While @GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six-Button Samurai have been patiently awaiting the much-ballyhooed Nintendo Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2nd, in typical Nintendo fashion, they zigged when everyone awaited a zag and dropped a final (?) original Switch-focused Direct the week before. They went about announcing some new titles (including a very real and Duke Nukem Forever-level overdue) Metroid Prime 4, and definitely some surprises one normally associates with PlayStation, such as Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots and Patapon 1 & 2. Is this the beginning of the end for console wars? Not likely, but there's a lot to pick apart on the latest OH GOD IT Hz!

Ol' Six-Button has an itch, and the only cure for that itch is MORE YAKUZA. And while our favorite GameAgent is still getting in some sporadic time with Yakuza: Kiwami on Switch, he's quite pumped about M2 returning to crank out another modernized classic, this time in the vein of Taito's Night Strikers series. And what does it mean, if anything, to well...anyone if the 1990s whipping boys of licensed game publishing, that being Acclaim ...returns? Get answers to this, and so much more, on the new OH GOD IT Hz!

Our dear friend and cohost @GameAgentET (OGiH) was still under the weather, but onwards he and The Six Button Samurai forged, talking about, of all things, Yakuza: Kiwami, which is a game they both recently started and have been enjoying. It's a series that has been a genuine phenomenon for SEGA since it began way back on the PlayStation 2, arguably their biggest franchise that doesn't date back to when they had their own hardware to support. Clear your throat and enjoy this somewhat shorter, but no less spirited cross-Pacific convo on the latest OH GOD IT Hz!

@GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six-Button Samurai welcome their old real-life friend @Hoptimus (RFC) to rap not just about the latest and greatest news surrounding Capcom's recent fighting game announcements, but to also wax about our favorite Star Wars video games, which now comprise a history nearly as long as the medium itself! The Force is STRONG with this all-new episode of OH GOD IT Hz.

Nintendo finally broke the seal on their next-generation Switch console, simply called Switch 2, and released a short trailer that showcases the (quite similar) physical form factor, along with a tiny tidbit of what will likely be called Mario Kart 9. Eddy and The Six-Button Samurai dive headlong into the details on this long-awaited yet truncated nugget from the Wonka Factory

Join us in closing out 2024 in style on the latest episode of OH GOD IT Hz!
