COD Black Ops 6 Beta, Castlevania Memories, and Switch 2 Rumors | Game Junction Podcast 99

The Game Junction Podcast

What if paying for early access to a video game turned you into an unpaid beta tester? In our 99th episode of The Game Junction Podcast, we tackle the frustrating trend of buggy game releases, using recent flops like Black Ops 6 and Outlaws as prime examples. Join us as we share our personal experiences with these game-breaking issues and debate the problematic monetization strategies plaguing the video game industry.
Get ready for a nostalgia trip as we dive into the iconic Castlevania series, revisiting classic titles such as Castlevania 1, Simon's Quest, and Bloodlines. We reminisce about the series' evolution from the NES to handheld consoles like the GBA and DS. Tune in to find out, as we celebrate the enduring legacy of these beloved titles. We'll also reflect on gaming commercials from the Nintendo 64 and GameCube eras and discuss the ever-changing landscape of video game preservation.
As we build anticipation for our 100th episode, we explore rumors about the next Nintendo Switch, potential Pokemon game launches, and the anticipated PlayStation 5 Pro announcement. We have a sneak peek at our milestone 100th celebration. Stay tuned and join us next week for an even bigger celebration!
