Never miss an episode and subscribe to the GI Microcast on all podcasting platforms and YouTube. This week, we discuss the line-up shown at the latest Nintendo Direct, with new Mario, Zelda and Metroid titles on display, and ponder what this says about the Switch’s final year before its successor arrives. We also look at the untapped potential for the Metroid franchise. From there, we weigh up the showcases from each of the platform holders and the implications for those businesses as well as the wider market. And, inevitably, the conversation turns to ongoing turbulence felt across the industry, and when we might start to see signs of recovery in the wake of various layoffs and studio closures. ► Subscribe to our Podcast - ► Subscribe to our Podcast RSS - ► Subscribe to our Podcast on Spotify - ► Newsletter sign-up - #VideoGames #VideoGamesIndustry #Podcast #VideoGamesPodcast
