I’m going to fire myself from writing these intros, since AI does it oh so well anyway. Here’s the AI synopsis of this week’s show, is it accurate? You’ll have to listen to find out! “Jared and Eli discussed personal fans, subscription services, and the reliability of product recommendations for their upcoming trip to Florida. They also explored new video games, the impact of social media on YouTube content creation, and the potential of a new mobile Pokemon game. Lastly, they discussed their experiences with the Assassin’s Creed game series, their collaborations with Apple Arcade, and the future of mobile gaming."

This week’s podcast is a weird one. We enabled some AI thing on Zoom and it gave us an AI-generated summary of our entire show that is both shockingly accurate and wildly incorrect at times. I’m linking it in the Show Notes below if you want to take a gander at our AI-driven future or you just don’t want to listen to our voices this week! A huge bulk of this week’s show is dedicated to emulator talk, what with Delta arriving in such fine official form on iOS. We also hit on World of Goo 2‘s recent delay, the upcoming GUNCHO from Tinytouchtales, if No Man’s Sky will EVER actually come to iOS or not, some listener emails, and more.

Is Apple in the wrong or is the US government overstepping its grounds? We talk about it. Then we dip into the Playdate’s latest killer game Mars After Midnight by Lucas Pope. It’s a good’un. We finish the show off with Call of Duty Warzone Mobile, which is the latest big deal mobile release.

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show we kick things off by talking about all the games I splurged on during the recent Playdate Catalog one-year anniversary sale, including the new Lucas Pope jam Mars After Midnight. We haven’t played any of these games yet, but we did buy them. We also talk about the upcoming Miyoo Mini Flip, or whatever it’s called, that looks like a Game Boy Advance SP. Do we really need yet another small emulator device? Probably! We then touch on the new TipTop app which lets you trade in old electronics and put it towards something new and shiny, and we finish things off diving into listener emails.

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show we kick things off with some more discussion of Balatro and ponder about its future. We then shift gears to talk about the lAtEsT dRaMa of the week in regards to the Epic versus Apple saga. Long story short: It’s hard to root for either of them! We then get mourn the loss of dedicated devices like MP3 players, digital cameras, and the like. Is it really that great that our phones can do EVERYTHING? We have hot takes. Finally we squeeze in some Miyoo Mini and Playdate talk. Go hit up the Playdate Catalog sale that’s going on for the next week!

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show we kick things off with some passionate discussion about… fidget toys? For some reason?

We also cover the impending release of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile later this month, the new version 4.3 update for the Miyoo Mini, and get to several listener emails which is always a blast to do.

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show we talk about… the Apple Vision Pro… for like the third or fourth episode in a row. Hey, it’s the hot new gadget, ok? Plus Eli was able to do a demo of one at his local Apple Store, so we have actual real deal thoughts about the device based on actually using it. We then dip our toes into the drama of the past couple of weeks, which one listener has dubbed The Xbox Holy War. Doom! Gloom! Xbox is abandoning hardware! They’re becoming a 3rd party developer! Xbox exclusives are coming to PlayStation! Well, yesterday was Xbox’s business update thingy and things didn’t quite shake out the way everyone was afraid they would, though some aspects to the rumors were true. Console wars are alive and well, baby!
