more bad news on the video game developer front. We take a nostalgic look at some game systems that didn't make the grade. We discuss if genres have any meeting and discuss the latest news out of Nintendos camp.http://www.joystickandmouse.comhttp://shop.joystickandmouse.com   Show Notes: We try to keep you up with the state of game development and unfortunately the trend of the last couple of years continued this past week. Eidos Montreal and Myst developer Cyan had layoffs this past month.https://www.gamesindustry.biz/eidos-montreal-lays-off-75-staffhttps://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/myst-developer-cyan-worlds-has-laid-off-half-of-its-workforce We've all been there. you run out and buy that shiny new game console and it just falls flat and never goes anywhere. As the proud owner of an Adam computer system back in the day I can relate to this feeling. Well here are a few others that just didn't live up to the hype.https://www.xda-developers.com/video-game-consoles-never-stood-chance/ What's in a genre anyways. Well kataku thinks they are all mixed up and it's our fault.https://kotaku.com/genres-fps-hero-shooter-adventure-rts-action-opinion-1851772168 The Switch 2 looms on the horizon, and in less than a week's time, we'll learn more information about Nintendo's next console. Last week, though, Nintendo hosted a Switch 1-focused Direct, and it felt like a flurry of last-minute announcements for the record-shattering handheld hybrid console ahead of its successor. So here's all the things announced that will be irrelevant later this week.https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-direct-march-2025-everything-announced
