| Why Tomodachi Life is the Most Chaotic Nintendo Game Ever Made | The Press Start Podcast | 15 Apr 2026 | 01:00:48 | |
We kick things off with our review of the weird and wonderful Tomodachi Life Living the Dream before diving into the high-stakes release of Capcom’s Pragmata. This week we also dive deep into the internal turmoil at Microsoft as Pete Hines breaks his silence on the mismanagement of Bethesda and the shifting value of Xbox Game Pass. Join us for a heated breakdown of why Xbox exclusivity is being re-evaluated and whether Fable can survive a potential delay to avoid the shadow of GTA 6.
