In this episode of The Game Deflators Podcast, John and Ryan dig into their latest video game pickups and some of the latest gaming news.

They kick off the news week with Pokémon TCG Pocket and its $1 billion milestone—can it maintain its momentum, or is the digital TCG market headed for a shake-up? The conversation then turns to Xbox’s future, with a big question looming—could the next generation of Xbox consoles be Microsoft’s last? The duo examines industry trends, and the shifting landscape of hardware.

Finally, they review Cubivore for the Nintendo GameCube, breaking down its quirky evolution mechanics, survival gameplay, and whether it deserves the $500 price point.
