This week on the Game Deflators Podcast, John dives into some current gen PlayStation 2 accessories and his recent play of Prince of Persia Sands of Time. Meanwhile, Ryan’s deep into Silk Song, and he’s got thoughts—lots of them.
The duo also tackles Nintendo’s latest round of controversial patents, raising eyebrows across the gaming community. From overbroad language to stifling creativity, John and Ryan break down what these moves might mean for the future of the gaming industry.
Then it’s on to the September 2025 Nintendo Direct, which left both hosts feeling... underwhelmed. Missed opportunities, recycled hype, and a lack of punch—was this the weakest Direct in years?
To wrap things up, the guys revisit Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland for the Game Boy Advance. Is this puffball platformer still a dream to play, or has time dulled its charm?
