In this week's episode of The Game Deflators Podcast, John and Ryan dive into the latest gaming drama: delays to the U.S. preorders of the Nintendo Switch 2. As American gamers grow restless, Japan takes a bold approach to curb scalping by introducing a Japan-exclusive Nintendo Switch 2—a strategy that could reshape global preorders.
Fresh off his trip to the 2025 Game On Expo, John gives his in-depth review of the event—sharing his experience at the event, convention purchases, and the general atmosphere of one of the year’s biggest gaming conventions.
Capping off the episode the guys review Paperboy on the NES and Arcade 1 Up. Is this game still as difficult today as it was in the 80s?
