The Six-Button Samurai and @GameAgentET (OGiH) contemplate the arrival of Nintendo Switch 2, offering early impressions after just a couple of sleepless days with the new hybrid console. But the industry writ large is blowing up with news this week, after direct videos from Sony as well as Xbox, not to mention some key announcements our grizzled gaming veterans have been waiting on, such as Season 3 for Street Fighter VI, Resident Evil Requiem (RE9), and the unexpected megaton announcement of Arc Systems' new Marvel fighting game. It's another emotional rollercoaster with your trans-Pacific dynamic duo on OH GOD IT Hz!

@GameAgentET (OGiH) welcomes back his cohost The Six-Button Samurai from his forest bathing, and they take some time to reflect on the ongoing debate over price increases that erupted in his absence with Charlie & Hoptimus in Episode 72. (Spoiler: this discussion is bound to dominate the rest of the year and they'll definitely have them back, especially once there's a baseline for how Nintendo's audience is receiving Switch 2 and its more expensive games post-launch.) Beyond that, there's plenty of other things our heroes dish upon, especially with the Switch 2 arriving in stores by the time you hear this, one of them being the future of SNK after Fatal Fury: CIty of the Wolves appears to have absolutely bombed and their CEO was sacked. Put up your dukes for an always-scrappy episode of OH GOD IT Hz!

The Six-Button Samurai is away on a spring vacation for this-here Episode 72. So GameAgentET, opting not to subject our listeners to an unhinged 1-hour soliloquy about the evils of gaming while on the toilet, decides to bring on fellow Ruminators Hoptimus (Retro Futurist Culture, Game Roominations) and Charlie (Brevity Box) for this special show. Discussions are made about the recently-delayed Grand Theft Auto VI, our favorite industry-defining game of our lifetimes, and the sobering new norm of prices going up, up and way up for game systems and software. We three ponder about these price-volatile times… if it’s temporary or here to stay. Just tell us where you WANT IT from Oh GOD it Hz!

Console Launch Blues, Greens, and Reds. The Six-Button Samurai and @GameAgentET (OGiH) delve into their own experiences on either side of the pond in trying to lock down a Nintendo Switch 2, but also swerve pretty hard into the history of console launches, which once upon a time, had ZERO hype, they just managed to show up at a Toys 'R' Us nearby. We also discuss a simultaneous playthrough of a Squaresoft classic that had eluded both of us in Secret of Mana, and another new Jeff Minter joint, with his wildly frenetic and colorful style now gracing a remake of Atari's I, Robot. Don't miss the latest OH GOD IT Hz!

@GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six-Button Samurai are joined by @Hoptimus (RFC) of Retro Futurist Culture to grapple with the arrival of Nintendo Switch 2 after the Direct hype cooled a bit. While we're still pretty excited about the hardware itself, the nickel-and-dime nature of charging for updated visuals for older games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (not to mention overall game prices) feel a bit greedy. The gang also takes on the uneven state of fighting games in 2025, specifically some of the upheaval in the Tekken 8 community following their Season 2 launch, some weird marketing moves from SNK. and what may be next for Street Fighter VI in Season 3. Summer Games Fest is also within shouting distance, and we're intrigued to see what Not-E3 has in store at such a weird point for the industry. It's a packed hour of power on the latest episode of OH GOD IT Hz!

While @GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six-Button Samurai have been patiently awaiting the much-ballyhooed Nintendo Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2nd, in typical Nintendo fashion, they zigged when everyone awaited a zag and dropped a final (?) original Switch-focused Direct the week before. They went about announcing some new titles (including a very real and Duke Nukem Forever-level overdue) Metroid Prime 4, and definitely some surprises one normally associates with PlayStation, such as Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots and Patapon 1 & 2. Is this the beginning of the end for console wars? Not likely, but there's a lot to pick apart on the latest OH GOD IT Hz!

Ol' Six-Button has an itch, and the only cure for that itch is MORE YAKUZA. And while our favorite GameAgent is still getting in some sporadic time with Yakuza: Kiwami on Switch, he's quite pumped about M2 returning to crank out another modernized classic, this time in the vein of Taito's Night Strikers series. And what does it mean, if anything, to well...anyone if the 1990s whipping boys of licensed game publishing, that being Acclaim ...returns? Get answers to this, and so much more, on the new OH GOD IT Hz!
