Ninja Gaiden 4 Cover Story, Voidbreaker, And Metal Gear 3DS (Feat. Mike Drucker)

Ninja Gaiden 4 Cover Story, Voidbreaker, And Metal Gear 3DS (Feat. Mike Drucker)

Author: Game Informer August 30, 2025 Duration: 1:19:26
In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, Emmy-nominated writer, comedian, and former Nintendo developer Mike Drucker (The Tonight Show, Bill Nye Saves the World) joins us to discuss our Ninja Gaiden 4 cover story, roguelite first-person shooter Voidbreaker, UFO 50, and his time working on Kid Icarus: Uprising — a formative handheld title for co-host Charles Harte. Later in the show, we laugh about the absurd controls of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, Lumines Arise, and The Rogue Prince of Persia.

We connected Drucker with legendary game designer Roberta Williams (King's Quest, Mystery House) to discuss her legacy and its impact on his life in a new feature in Game Informer Magazine Issue 371. Drucker's latest book, Good Game, No Rematch, is available now.

Every Thursday, the conversation starts up again with Alex Van Aken, Kyle Hilliard, Marcus Stewart, and Charles Harte. The Game Informer Show is where that weekly chat lives, a place to dig into the headlines, dissect new releases, and sometimes get a first look at what's coming next. It feels less like a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a chair with friends who happen to have their fingers on the pulse of the entire video game world. You'll hear their honest reactions to the week's biggest news, thoughtful reviews that go beyond a simple score, and discussions that can jump from a beloved classic to a hot new indie title in a single segment. The regular crew is often joined by other editors from Game Informer's staff, as well as developers and special guests who bring unique insider perspectives. Tuning into this podcast means getting a comprehensive, entertaining, and deeply informed take on the games you're playing now and the ones you'll be excited about tomorrow. It's a consistent weekly check-in for anyone who wants to stay connected to the broader culture and business of gaming, all delivered with a blend of expertise and genuine enthusiasm that makes the industry feel a little smaller and a lot more interesting.
