Episode 93 - Resident Evil Village On iOS And The Future Of AAA Mobile Games
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Things have come a long way since the original Resident Evil 4's infamous mobile version more than a decade ago, and now Resident Evil Village runs natively on iOS, bringing AAA console parity to the mobile gaming market. We discuss what this development might mean for the future of not only mobile gaming, but ALL video games. Are we (*gasp!*) finally onboard the mobile game hype train??

We'll also be talking about Elon Musk's doomed quest to turn Twitter/X into a Twitch killer, how canceled loot shooter Hyenas was allegedly Sega's biggest budget game ever, and how Capcom’s greatest ever catch phrase has been decided by its players for the company's 40th anniversary.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Nostalgia 101 segment. In this episode, Professor Ryebread is sharing his top 5 list of '90s games shows for kids.
