If game scoop remains the only weekly podcast, it would be the only (weekly) videogame podcast! Hope we keep our weekly scoops

WHAT? I need to know what Justin was going to say at the end of the show so that we can come after him. Unless "they" is IGN and he's worried he will end up like Seth, Brian, etc.

36:37 Justin said "Can they still call it the Switch?". Switch Lite didn't "switch" and it was still called a Switch :)

Great to hear the GameCube get so much love. I always appreciated how Nintendo took a lot of risks with some of their titles during this gen. Sunshine, Prime, the beginning of Pikmin, Windwaker, even Luigi's Mansion. It was a really special generation even though the sales didn't reflect it.

Hey, this week's 20 questions suggestion comes from a fellow Dutch Scoop fan! Now I wonder what his or her real name is...well I guess I will wish you a speedy recovery: veel sterkte met je herstel!

Retro Game Corp is a treasure. Also Miyoo Mini Plus is a perfect travel companion and also great to wind down bf bed without disturbing your partner

We literally already have a switch lite that doesn't switch. 100% they'd keep the name.

Epic podcast! I think the GameCube suffered from launching in this kiddy purple color and Sony was running with the PS2 being able to play DVD’s.

Lost Kingdoms II, Geist, Eternal Darkness and Warioworld get massively overlooked, all great games! Love the GameCube, what a brilliant little console!

During the metroidvania conversations, everyone sleeps on "The Messenger."
Legit second best in the genre EVER behind "Super Metroid" and no one ever talks about it.

Analogue Pocket is an FPGA system; games play absolutely amazingly on it, with no lag, no software emulation, and with the dock you can play them on the TV. Its incredible. You can even unlock the open FPGA chip and get all kinds of cores on it. Its absolutely amazing.
