In this week’s episode of The Game Deflators, John and Ryan dive into a treasure trove of gaming updates, pickups, and hot takes:
Magic: The Gathering fans won’t want to miss the duo’s latest haul from Edge of Eternities, plus an update on the closure of Strixhaven Year Three in their long-running Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
The Game Deflators also explore Hasbro’s initiative to attract more women to Magic: The Gathering, analyzing what it means for future set releases.
On the digital front, Nintendo’s aggressive IP protection strikes again—this time forcing a popular speedrunning charity event to remove all Nintendo titles. John and Ryan provide their differing views on the outcome.
Rumors are swirling about the Nintendo Switch 2 and a potential increase in cartridge storage capacity. Could this be a game-changer for next-gen titles or just price increases?
Finally, the retro spotlight shines on Tomba! for the PlayStation 1, as the hosts visit this cult classic with a fresh review—does it still hold up in 2025?
