Sacred Symbols+, Episode 473 | Sacred & Punching: The Long-Awaited Crossover
Added 2025-08-16 16:00:18 +0000 UTCIt's me, Colin. Please welcome the cast of our Nintendo podcast, Punching Up -- Brad Ellis, Gene Park, and Micah Moriarty -- to Sacred+. It's finally time for us to do a crossover episode between these two shows, just like we've endlessly done with Defining Duke, and we convene with a big topic in mind: The potential of more PlayStation games migrating to Switch and Switch 2. Together, we wander through Sony's expansive history of first and second party products which may make sense on Nintendo hardware, all the while trying to qualify just what PlayStation's strategy should be in the first place. Do current market conditions require an aggressive third party play? Should single player fare be included? Are Sony and Nintendo truly competitors at all? Naturally, we've much to discuss.

Agreed. I’m tired of hearing people say Astro would make sense on Nintendo… um no, it makes zero sense on anything but PlayStation

2025-08-20 16:30:58 +0000 UTCI love you Brad (and it’s not just you who has suggested it), but I’m AstroBot make zero sense on Switch. It’s a love letter to PlayStation history. You fly around on a DuelSense trying to repair a PS5 while collecting bots from PlayStation games. Everyone needs to stop suggesting it get ported to Nintendo consoles

2025-08-20 12:50:00 +0000 UTCSpider-Man isn’t eligible for Smash, Sakurai has been clear the character has to originate from video games

2025-08-20 00:34:27 +0000 UTCReally disagree with Colin about Ratchet 2016. That game is vastly inferior to the original, the story is completely neutered and compromised by its connection to the movie

2025-08-19 15:05:51 +0000 UTCLove the crossover! My only note is Spider-man would never make it in Smash. Sakurai has explicitly stated he only picks original video game characters

2025-08-18 14:15:23 +0000 UTCI wish Colin would take his PS jersey off and become agnostic. For someone who I’ve listened to for years for his articulate analysis of games it’s a massive waste of talent. I’d love to hear him talk about games outside of PlayStation especially Nintendo.

2025-08-18 06:51:40 +0000 UTCWouldn’t Astro Bot be really weird on any other platform than PlayStation? You fly around in Dualsense contoller repairing a a ship that looks like a PS5. Not to mention all the PlayStation IPs littered throughout the game…

2025-08-17 03:59:33 +0000 UTCWanted to to put this here, just so you guys see it, doesnt need a dm or wait a week to hope for a write in lol: My ex room mate and good friend cole texted me this morning "Raygun is on fire, on this weeks sacred symbols " Obviously meaning he's still on yall's patreon. Sometimes you go thru a breakup and dont know if that person still listens to the music you showed them or other stuff like podcasts etc. Anyway i swear anytime i msg/comment yall i wanna be positive cause goddam, theres a lot of negativity out there like when folks say gene is a womanizing braggadocios exaggerator. Jk But for real, never heard LMAO pronounced as a word. (Le-mow) peace boys!

2025-08-17 02:04:22 +0000 UTCI got you, Gene. BDSM parties are totally a thing. I’m not into it either, but people would be surprised at how many people are actually into it.
