After rolling credits on a game, what do you do if you want to spend more time with the title? Rather than wait for a sequel. you can pay for DLC that keeps the good times rolling! Or does it?

Matt & Gen discuss paid DLC. When is it worth the price, if ever? Does it encourage you to keep playing the game any more than just starting a new file? What does the current game marketplace feel like when these paid extensions are advertised or released at the same time as the base title?

Working with companies such as Capcom, Toei, Sega, and Square Enix requires license negotiation and constant communication to keep the games both fun and faithful to the source material.

After the Wii, but before the Switch, Nintendo released the Wii U. Not just a touchpad controller for the Wii, but a console with its own library and its own identity. However poor sales, and the fact that many of its titles have been ported to Switch, leave the Wii U in the dust of obscurity.

Matt & Gen are joined by Jacob McCourt for a console retrospective on Nintendo's lowest selling non-portable gaming system. The Gamepad provided unique and fun game experiences. Many fantastic series got their start here, or have a unique entry that lives exclusively on the Wii U. Lowest selling console, perhaps, but not least loved.

You can find Jacob on Bluesky, and links to his works here!
