Lockleth says “What’s not to love about this podcast?!”
What’s not to love about these 2 lovely people?! If you’re a Nintendo fan, I highly recommend this podcast. Not only do Sean’s intros (he’s basically yelling lol) always make me laugh, but Caito’s calming voice soothes my soul at the same time. Not only that but these two know a lot about Nintendo, so give them a listen! You won’t be disappointed!

Caito was right (for now). Head Of Xbox Shuts Down Idea Of Game Pass Coming To Other Platforms (Again). Head of Xbox Phil Spencer recently did an interview with GamesRadar about all things related to Microsoft's gaming ecosystem. During the interview, Phil Spencer said “We have no plans to bring it to any other kind of closed platforms right now, mainly because those closed platforms don't want something like Game Pass. There's a ton of open platforms out there for us to grow in: the web, PC, and mobile. So all of our focus, frankly, is on those platforms."
