Today, we are joined by another amazing guest - Gene Park. Gene is the games writer for The Washington Post and he has so much knowledge about the state of video game journalism and what the future will look like for games media. Gene also has a ridiculous amount of access, probably more than most game journalists to the inner workings of Nintendo so he shares some stories about what it's been like interviewing Nintendo developers and getting early access to the biggest Nintendo games. Gene is an incredible person who has shared so much about himself. We're huge fans of him and we hope you are too. Also in this episode, we finished Final Fantasy 16 and share our final thoughts on the ending, don't worry, no spoilers. We also dig into Nintendo's recent financials and share some light thoughts on the Pokemon Showcase. We wrap it all up with questions from our incredible Patreon community.
