Rumors for the Nintendo Switch Successor console are heating up this week. Hardware maker related leaks were put on the internet, indicating that the Nintendo Switch 2 will have only moderate technical increases, which make the leaks even that more believable  to our hosts. Is it possible the new Nintendo Switch could even release this year? We analyze all the rumors, and talk about the rest of the week in gaming news. All this and much more on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

The Game Boy has turned 35 years old in Japan! I try my old Game Boy, as well as discuss how my entire Game Boy library was stolen by a classmate and we never caught him or got any of it back. (And also nobody believed me.) We talk about a viewer comment about having high fidelity VR in an untethered headset - as long as you have high quality equipment. Target is scaling back how much physical media it carries in stores - but it's not eliminating them entirely yet. Arcade1up has partnered with TaskRabbit to build your Arcade1up cabinets for you. Anyone who has tried to install a monitor in an Arcade1up cabinet understands why this is a good thing. Then we talk to Rob about our memories of the Game Boy.

The servers for Littlebigplanet 3 unexpectedly went permanently offline this week, thanks to a group of punks who were trying to exploit the server. While jerk gamers are always going to exist, we take a moment to reflect on how sad it is that the many customized levels of this game will no longer be accessible. Of course, there was maintenance that started in January, and many people are just now finding out about this, so is it really as big of a deal as we all make it out to be this week? We still beg to have a Littlebigplanet 4 someday. All this and much more news round out another week of the longest running video game podcast now in four digits worth of episodes, Orange Lounge Radio!

Indie gaming studio Possibility Space has closed its doors, claiming it's because of questions from a journalist for an article that hasn't even been published yet. Star Wars: Outlaws will require an online internet connection to install the physical disc - which makes the game preservation aspect of physical media useless. We're still raising money for Make-A-Wish Georgia - we've smashed the original goal, so we just made the goal bigger. Then we talk to Orange Lounge Radio about their historic 1000th episode!

Keanu Reeves is Shadow the hedgehog! Also, Sightsee with your favorite idol or camper in this new collaboration, and there could be potential for a Naruto live-action cinematic universe?

I'm helping raise money for Make-a-Wish Georgia with the Stream Atlanta meetup group this month - let's make some kids wishes come true! Gaming has reportedly fallen to pre-pandemic levels, meaning we aren't playing games as much as we were just a few years ago. Are emulators coming to iOS? Yes, but no - not in the way the media headlines want you to believe. Then we talk to Rob about our playing time and more about him not starting Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (and me not continuing with it often enough)

"...Atari released a modern version of their classic system. (my first game system actually) Now by 'modern' I don’t mean high-end graphics and AAA titles. This is functionally the exact same system that was released back when I was a kid."
