Very proud to announce the rebirth of The Joy of Gaming Podcast. It all starts now with Episode Zero, where we introduce our brand new co-host Brandon Brino, discuss @summergamefest, and do a deep dive into limited physical gaming media. #foreverphysical https://t.co/PizAhGExC8

Episode 30 is Live - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is here, and it’s an incredible embarrassment of riches. We discuss our early-game impressions, including the new abilities, the new “sky” and “depths” biomes, and all of our early adventures https://t.co/vu8ep2IELs

Episode 29 is now LIVE - it’s the next installment of our “The Best Games for Every Console” series - and this time we’re celebrating the Nintendo GameCube and the unbelievable games that call the system home. #ResidentEvil4 #metroidprime #retrogame https://t.co/lEu7SxZ0nD

@acevamp @RetroBlastUS Had to pry myself away from #STARWARSJediSurvivor. Wasn’t easy.

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

@MaverickGirlVG @RetroBlastUS I hear you! I’ve played P4 and P5, and been wanting to go back and finally play P3 ‘cause everyone says it’s sooo good. But for all the improvements P3P has brought in, I feel like I’m gonna miss actually walking through the 3D city. Glad to hear that it plays so well, though!

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

@aaronschey @RetroBlastUS Is it your first time?

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

@lydgendary @RetroBlastUS How are you liking Kena so far? I started it recently and was very surprised that it has those Pikmin-like elements of gathering numbers of cute little minions and using them to solve puzzles and to progress.

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

@DJecchi @RetroBlastUS Every time I start playing a new game, my friend @BrandonTJOG never lets me forget that I haven’t played Chrono Trigger and that I should be playing that instead. Is he correct?

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

@MaverickGirlVG @RetroBlastUS You playing the Persona 3 Portable version, and if so, what console?

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

@PatrixRaider @RetroBlastUS FEAR 2? Yes - What a great game! Very left field, and reminded me how much I miss that series.

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

Well said, @Chris_Dring.

[Christopher Dring @Chris_Dring]

I made some criticism about the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Limited Edition set being a bit boring. And I think that’s true on paper. But now I’ve got one in my hands… I take it all back. It’s lush

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

It isn't every day that a new entry to your favorite video game franchise comes along. The Legend of Zelda franchise has meant so much to me throughout the years. Can't wait to play #TearsOfTheKingdom and add it to the collection! @NintendoAmerica

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

Looks like we will have to wait a bit longer for #silksong. Cool with us - but it’s gonna be so great when it’s done.

[Matthew Griffin @griffinmatta]

Hey gang, just a quick update about Silksong.

We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing. We're excited by how the game is shaping up, and it's gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can.

Expect more details from us once we get closer to release.

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

TJOG Episode 28 is Live, and we discuss the “Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad” week that Xbox just had, including the release of #Redfall, the @KindaFunnyVids interview with Phil Spencer, the CMA blocking of the Activision deal and so much more. https://t.co/euAuZMVma0

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

@DariaPlays @TheDazeel That makes total sense to me. That game is remembered as the Dragon Quest where the job system & freedom were prioritized above a strong overall narrative. Even the player character is customizable, with just a vague overall story about the "Celestrians" & saving the world

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

Episode 27 is LIVE, and in preparation for #TearsoftheKingdom, we are exploring the complete release history and timeline of The Legend of Zelda series - game-by-game and memory-by-memory - with the Hyrule Historia as our guide. Join us for the adventure! https://t.co/BxXFIYefCD

@Wario64 To pre-download or to play now?

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

@RetroBlastUS Bioshock. The first one, of course.

[The Joy of Gaming Podcast @theJoyofGame]

@RetroBlastUS How's it going? Saw your call for guest hosts and would be all about it. We have 20k lifetime downloads, were on a hiatus for a while and restarted last year so we're building our audience back now. We feature a mix of modern and retro content, retrospectives, top 10 lists, and we also have a special focus on physical games media (Limited Run, etc.). We record in a home studio with Shure MV7 mics and a Scarlett 18i18 so we're loaded for bear and ready to rock :). For samples, feel free to check out the podcast or we can send something. Love what you guys are doing, and if guest hosting goes well, would be down to collab in the future as well.

Episode 26 of TJOG Podcast is Live - this week we’re discussing the #FinalFantasyXVI State of Play, Nintendo’s April #indieworld Showcase, the Island section of Resident Evil 4 Remake, two different Paper Mario Games and so much more. https://t.co/ulgJf0cNgm

If you are still looking for a physical copy of the #PixelRemaster of Final Fantasy 1-6, it looks like the waiting list opened back up. @Wario64 @SquareEnix

[Wario64 @Wario64]

Square Enix Store now says there's a waiting list again for FF Pixel Remaster Switch https://t.co/MagCWpW7uN
