I might not be attending VGM Con anymore this year due to health, but I can bring them to me, so let’s get this monster going!

The show kicks off with a monster PartyCast of Bri Galgano, Jacob Garner, Ian “Doc Havok” Griffin, and Aki alongside guests Vaughn Rowles of VGM Con, good friend and VGM Con staff Chris “Flik” Serani, VGM Con performer and member of The OneUps Mustin, and VGM performer and BIRTHDAY BOY Grant “Stemage” Henry! We chat about VGM Con, performers, plans for the event, Mustin’s sales ideas, lamenting the fact I can’t make it, and a ton more!

After Vaughn and Mustin head out, the rest of us discuss the news of the week including tons of information on the Nintendo Switch 2 release including the price of the system and games, game title reveals and surprises, discussion on the specs and performance, and a whole lot more. Let’s hope the Switch 2 doesn’t go up in price with Captain Bonespurs’ tariff garbage going on, but I’m sure it will. There’s also Game Pass news, sales, layoffs, and more, plus a hearty batch of reviews!
