In this week's exciting episode of The Game Deflators, John and Ryan delve into the future of gaming technology with a discussion on Sony's latest patent for controllers featuring solar charging. Could this be the eco-friendly breakthrough gamers have been waiting for?

The duo also tackles the growing challenges faced by the Steam Deck as it struggles to keep pace with the demanding specs of modern AAA games. Is the handheld powerhouse losing its edge in the fast-evolving gaming industry?

Finally, they turn back the clock for a nostalgic deep dive into the iconic Mega Man 1 for the NES. Was it truly a defining classic, or does the Blue Bomber's debut have its flaws?
