Super Switch Headz

This week Jordan Starkweather from the Pocketoid podcast joins to talk about the historic Paramount/Warner Bros./Skydance merger and how it fits into the future of media and video games. For years now, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund has been buying up stake in video game companies around the globe, and now with the help of Jared Kushner, Donald Trump and other gulf nations, the largest media merger of all time has taken place. What does this mean for video games and the future of media? We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as a huge bump in physical game sales thanks to game key cards, new cheat codes found in F-Zero GX after 25 years, Nintendo of America president Devon Pritchard commenting on the likelihood of GTA coming to the Switch 2, and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing. Listen to Super Switch Headz on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you enjoy podcasts.
