The NPCs Discuss - The Future of Handheld Gaming

The NPCs Discuss - The Future of Handheld Gaming

Author: The NPCs February 17, 2022 Duration: 1:08:12

On today's episode: Handheld gaming was originally dominated by a select few. The likes of Nintendo's Game Boy and it's offspring, the Nintendo DS, were the rulers of the gaming-on-the-go scene. Competition from Sony with it's PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita, Sega with the Game Gear, and many others could not keep pace with the house of Mario. However, Nintendo's attempt to bridge the gap between handheld and home console became an overnight success, and the Switch continues to be a best seller since it's release in 2017. That got many others thinking of what they could provide in lieu of a Game Boy-style device - either stick with the ability to provide retro gaming in place of what Nintendo had previously done -or- take the ever-expanding PC gaming market and make it even more accessible in an on-the-go package. And that's what we are here to discuss today: The Future of Handheld Gaming.

Every week, Kyle and Travis settle in for a conversation that feels like hanging out in a friend's basement, dissecting the virtual worlds they love. Their The NPCs-Video Game Commentary, Video Game News, And More! is a weekly check-in from two self-proclaimed terrible gamers who are deeply invested in the culture and community surrounding their favorite pastime. You'll hear them unpack the titles they're actually playing, from the latest blockbusters to forgotten gems, and sift through the gaming news that actually matters to them. The discussion often meanders into the broader "video game life"-those funny, frustrating, and universally relatable moments that happen both on and off the screen. And yes, they might even circle back to their long-running, utterly unserious investigation into gaming's greatest mysteries, like the true parental lineage of a certain enigmatic figure in a trench coat. It's less about expert analysis and more about shared enthusiasm and genuine camaraderie. This podcast thrives on the unscripted tangents and personal anecdotes that come from two friends simply talking about what they enjoy, making each episode a casual and entertaining dive into the heart of gaming fandom.
