Podcast #317 - Questions Wanted!
Added 2025-03-31 09:30:01 +0000 UTCHello Friends!
We're all set to record another podcast but would love some more questions from you lovely lot. This is for the TripleJump Podcast! Remember, as our esteemed financial supporters, we'll be exclusively coming to you for weekly discussion topics, so please read the following guidelines before submitting:
- No controversial or naughty questions please
- This is a video game podcast about video games so please keep the questions video-game-related
- Going forwards, we'd love it if you can base your questions on any video game news that drops in the week. It doesn't just have to be big serious stories though, so ask us about anything you find on the web. While we will still answer non-news questions from time to time, we're hoping that with a different focus we can avoid repetition.
- If there's a particular event or happening in the industry that you'd like us to discuss in detail, feel free! We like to address one 'big question' per week to headline each show, and pepper in smaller questions throughout
- Try to avoid topics we've covered before
- "Questions on a postcard" (don't make your question too long!)
- We typically record on Thursday morning, so try to get your questions in by Wednesday afternoon!
Thanks all! We look forward to reading through your offerings, and we can't overstate how much we appreciate your support on Patreon and elsewhere!
love ya <3

Mello greetings BAP, *I know you have already recorded for this week, so I will submit this again in the appropriate post.* In your recent news segment about the Switch 2, you spent some time wondering if the higher prices of the games and console may have had something to do with tariffs from the US. Nintendo have just clarified their position and put a halt to the planned rollout of pre-orders so that they can evaluate pricing in the face of these tariffs. As a member of the American market, I was already frightened of buying into such an expensive gaming ecosystem, and honestly probably could not afford it. But now, with tariff pricing, the only way I will get to play a Switch 2 is if a store somehow has a demo unit I can use. Will the US get an exclusive price point? Will the prices go up worldwide in response? Or will the US get cut off entirely? And how do you think this will impact gaming at large? Expensively yours, Ferris Wheeler https://www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc.com/news/articles/c78j64dqj2qo.amp?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQGsAEggAID#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=17437935769993&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Farticles%2Fc78j64dqj2qo

2025-04-04 19:32:59 +0000 UTCGreetings BP (unless Ashton is back from Japan)! So how 'bout that Switch 2 eh? Are you tempted to be an early adopter, planning to hold off for a while, or not interested at all? As with most products it's possible that those who wait a year would benefit from an updated version with efficiency or quality improvements; they released a switch 1 with better battery life a month after I bought mine 🙃 Keep up the great work!
