Next Year, total online support will be ending for the Nintendo WiiU and the 3DS. Although the eShop support was previously pulled for these systems, this is still a major event that has some game preservationists sad. At least one title will still keep the lights on, since this iconic franchise would suffer a bit of a setback if they didn't. Pour one out for those still playing their 3DS's as the lights go out in 2024.... but could a new Nintendo system be out by that time to help us forget? We talk about all this, our gaming weeks, and much more in the news on another week of the longest running video game podcast: Orange Lounge Radio!
I'm going to be a host at Games Done Quick Express at TwitchCon! Tune in on Friday and Sunday at 1PM ET/10AM PT to hear me and possibly see me?
Unity backtracked...kind of. They changed some of the policies about charging developers per install of their game, rather than on the sales of their game.
Epic Games laid off 16% of its workforce because they need to pay its lawyers for all of their lawsuits. This includes selling Bandcamp and shuttering entire studios they recently purchased.
The Meta Quest 3 is almost out, hoping to take on some of what the Apple Vision Pro is claiming it can do.
Then we talk with Rob about the other things that happened in the week when I was out on the ocean.
A game near and dear to us turned 25 years old this past week, and we take time at the top of our show to reflect on our memories of what Dance Dance Revolution has meant to us over the years. Without it, we wouldn't have this show, and we're excited that the game has had a recent "2nd Mix" life to allow new generations to play it and bond over it. It's not just Memories (get it?) though, as we dive into the weeks news, including a major hack at Sony. Could this be something similar to what Sony experienced in the Playstation 3 era, or is the data that's been breached not that big of a deal all things considered? We discuss all this and much much more on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!
