Episode 38 - Nintendo Switch 2 Launch, Queer Game Controversies, Women-Led Games Showcase

Amy-Lynn is back and we’ve got the juiciest, hottest queer game gossip on this side of the internet!

Runescape is canceling their Pride events — kind of, it’s messy, we have a followup on the Dragon Age 4 development issues story from Episode 33, The Last of Us Season 3 will neither be starring Ellie nor Joel but a secret third character, and Amy-Lynn accurately predicted the existence and reveal of a Splatoon spin-off! Plus a lot more.

We also have another showcase from last weekend: Women-Led Games Showcase. As you’d happily expect, it was also loaded with queer games.

To top it all off, Amy-Lynn and I discuss our thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2, its launch, and even some spoiler-free Deltarune impressions!
