On this episode of the Plug N Play Podcast, Henry discusses how Nintendo finally caught up to everyone else with the new price increase for the Switch 2, Sega cancelling its incredibly vague, incredibly overstated "Super Game", Saros reported underselling, Xbox is now XBOX, and Embracer splitting up once again. Its a good time to be a video game podcast!

Impressions this week touch on the nostalgic re connection to Sly 2: Band of Thieves. And the major conversation the circles around the somewhat controversial new release Mixtape. Does it live up to the review scores or does it crumble under the constant criticism. Tune in to find out!
