Episode description

From "My uncle works at Nintendo" to the existence of the Dreamcast 2, video game rumours have captured the imagination of enthusiasts and fans alike. With the recent announcement of the Switch OLED, that dashed many dreams that people held surround the "Switch Pro" and rampant speculation over what Hideo Kojima is up to next, this is a topic that has never been more relevant. Zach and Brendan, joined by first-time special guest Dash, dissect this rumour-fueled cartridge and outline their respective beliefs regarding the role of rumours in the gaming media.
