Wavelengths with Brendon Bigley

I'm absolutely in love with Pokemon Pokopia, enough so that it has me wondering if it could have been a cultural moment — Animal Crossing-adjacent, even — had it released later in the Switch 2's lifecycle.

Steam Next Fest is the equivalent of perusing a library until you find something that seems interesting to you, which is an experience that’s extremely rare in video games these days. Hell, it’s rare in ANY media these days.This week’s episode of the show is mostly about some demos I loved, and a little bit about Playstation and Xbox.Join the Patreon: https://patreon.com/wavelengths

The PS6 might get delayed. The Switch 2 might get even more expensive. The Steam Deck is currently completely sold out. The AI industry is to blame — so let's talk about it.

Welcome back to the show! This week I work through my feelings about Discord's new verification plans and how it will impact everything — even platforms outside of Discord. After that we run through some news about Riot layoffs, Mewgenics sales figures, and Yakuza Kiwami 3's confusing direction before going through my five months of using the MCON mobile controller.

Hello and welcome back to the podcast! And the first one with video posted publicly for all to see! This week I'm talking about the four games that extremely worked for me from the Nintendo Partner Direct (and a bunch of other notable announcements), Switch 2 sales struggling outside of Japan, Valve kind-of-delaying the Steam Machine, and Sony's extremely stupid patent for AI podcasts.
