Summary In this episode, the hosts discuss the MSI Claw and the IONIO Next Lite. They review the features and performance of the MSI Claw, comparing it to the ROG Ally. They also discuss the marketing and pricing of the IONIO Next Lite, expressing their opinions on its value. Additionally, they share their experiences playing Chrono Trigger, highlighting its story and characters. The hosts provide insights and recommendations for listeners interested in these gaming devices and the game. The conversation covers topics such as nostalgia for Guitar Hero and the challenges of playing old games, the experience of using guitar controllers and the memories associated with them, the discussion of piracy and copying games in the past, reviews of recent games like Leica, H or Blood and Final Fantasy VII Remake, the anticipation for Metroid Dread and Prince of Persia, the desire to send signals to game developers through purchasing decisions, and the appreciation for cinematic platformers like Flashback and Lunark. The conversation covers various gaming topics, including the Xbox Developer Direct, the upcoming Indiana Jones game, the excitement for an Indiana Jones game, comparisons to Uncharted and Tomb Raider, the reputation of Machine Games and Wolfenstein, the anticipation for the gameplay trailer of the Indiana Jones game, the frustrating gameplay of Hellblade 2, the rumor of a stealth release for a Double Fine game, the issue of announcing games too early, the waiting time for game releases, negative game reviews, the possibility of a new Switch announcement, and upcoming videos and projects.

Follow the Panel @FanTheDeck @ThePhawx @NerdNest The MSI Claw handheld uses an Intel APU, which may have power consumption and driver issues compared to other handheld devices. The hosts express skepticism about the performance and battery life of the MSI Claw handheld. The price of the MSI Claw handheld will play a significant role in its success, but it may struggle to compete with other established handheld devices. Personal preference and familiarity with Steam input may influence the decision to purchase the MSI Claw handheld. Console amenities, such as extended battery life, are important factors for handheld PC gamers. The concept of a gaming phone with built-in controls and a larger battery is appealing to some gamers. Power and efficiency are crucial in PC gaming, and there is a need for more efficient chips and optimization. Subscription services for indie games can help highlight and support smaller developers. The number of games on Steam is overwhelming, making it challenging to discover hidden gems. NCSoft's decision to license a fan project for City of Heroes shows a positive approach to game preservation and community support. Cannibalization of game sales may not be a significant concern given the vast number of games available in the industry. The snapshot feature in Prince of Persia helps players navigate metroidvania-style games more efficiently by marking areas of interest on the mini-map. Prioritizing performance over visual quality in games can lead to a more enjoyable gaming experience. Lengthy tutorials in games can be a turn-off for players and may discourage them from continuing to play. The hosts express their gratitude to their patrons for their support. 🔔Get notified! https://www.youtube.com/c/NerdNest?sub_confirmation=1 ——————————— 🎯SUPPORT THE CHANNEL ——————————— ▶️Send in a tip! https://streamelements.com/nerdnest/tip ▶️Support on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/nerdnest ▶️Join us! https://www.youtube.com/nerdnest/join ▶️Humble Bundle Partner Link - https://www.humblebundle.com/?partner=nerdnest ▶️Nerd Nest Merch - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiC38Llz5e3qR6EaQAGlWvw/store ▶️Check out my Wife's Etsy Shop - https://www.etsy.com/shop/runjumpstomp ——————————— ⚠️CONNECT ——————————— ▶️ NERD NEST DISCORD - http://nerdnest.tv/discord ▶️THREADS - https://www.threads.net/@billfairchild ▶️ MASTODON - https://mas.to/@BillFairchild ▶️BLUESKY - https://bsky.app/profile/nerdnest.tv ▶️ NERD NEST TWEETS - https://twitter.com/NerdNestTV Steam Deck Discord https://discord.gg/pbyRVycu7B ——————————— 🎧PODCASTS ——————————— ▶️ THE NERD NEST PODCAST- http://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nerdnest ▶️ ON DECK - https://nerdnest.tv/ondeck ▶️ 143 PIXELS - http://nerdnest.tv/143 ——————————— ⚙️GEAR I USE ——————————— ➡️GEAR I USE - https://www.amazon.com/shop/nerdnest 💵Nerd Nest may receive a commission on sales of items linked above.
