Are we back?! Not really, haha, sorry. BUT, we have a very interesting interview with Colin Cox and Jon Phelps from The Hop-Ons Podcast. The Hop-Ons Podcast typically covers television shows (specifically, it has run through both Arrested Development and Twin Peaks), but there's a bit of a connection to video games that comes up in the interview that we think our listeners may appreciate. This episode was a lot of fun to record, so let us know if more off-topic interviews like these are your...

Well, sometimes. It depends on the format. That's kind of the point of this episode. Mitchell and Wyatt are in it and stuff. You know the drill. All that and more on this week's Super Jump Podcast!!

Mitchell and Wyatt need to know: Where are all the studios going? It seems like every mid-size studio is either failing or is being absorbed into larger companies. Is there a future for game makers bigger than indies, but smaller than triple-A? All that and more on this week's Super Jump Podcast!!

We especially recommend his podcast Pal Keys.

Two movies are coming out this year about electric rodents from video games. Why is Sonic electric in the movie? Wass Detective Pikachu everything Mitchell has ever wanted? Will James force Mitchell to stand in line for four hours to play Final Fantasy VII Remake at E3 for the good of the magazine? Is Valve's new VR hardware maybe a bit too expensive? The answer to all of those questions is "Yes!" but you can go ahead and listen to the episode anyway. There's more information on this week's...

It's been a little while since the show has returned to its roots, so we made a point to have just James and Mitchell sit down and talk games. In this back-to-basics episode, we go over the last few weeks' news items including Nintendo letting an indie studio use The Legend of Zelda, Microsoft's exact plans working with other hardware makers, and Google's foray into games streaming. All this and more on this week's Super Jump Podcast!! Theme music is by Jamatar.

Wyatt and Mitchell get together this week to discuss Dragon Ball, Jason Schreier's coverage of Anthem's development, a Power Rangers fighting game, and much more! Is Nintendo's attempt at VR worth talking about? Is competitive Melee sick as in "Righteous, bruh!" or sick as in "has an illness"? All of this and more on this week's episode of the Super Jump Podcast!! Theme music is by Jamatar.

Mitchell is joined by Daryl Baxter, a freelance writer and fellow podcaster, to talk about some very para-exciting developments! Apple is launching a new premium game subscription service, Google is premiering a streaming platform that may very possibly be the first one to truly "work," and Nintendo and Sony both made some announcements of their own. Will these reveals have the industry-shaking effect that they seem to have, or will they come and go only to make room for the next Future of...

You know the drill. When big Pokémon news happens, we bring Jeff Onan on the show to talk with Mitchell about it. This time, we got new trailers for two distinct Pokémon movies releasing before the end of the year. Can you believe we're getting two in one year? By the time both of these come out, there will be a total of 23 theatrical Pokémon films. That's wild. Also, we of course need to talk about Pokémon Sword and Shield. Are they the big, exciting, console Pokémon games we've been waiting...

For our Pi episode, we talk about the recent Activision Blizzard layoffs and Nintendo Direct! Mitchell's still playing through Dragon Quest III and Wyatt's still playing Apex Legends. Additionally, both folks tried out the new Nintendo free-to-play battle royale, Tetris 99! That sentence has so many parts that don't make any sense. Nintendo has a battle royale? And it's Tetris? What's next, puppies for dead people?! Why would they even need puppies? It seems like a poorly thought-out...

Mitchell and Wyatt talk up that new hotness, Apex Legends. How good was that stealth reveal? Also, Blizzard is having a bit of an issue at the moment (this episode was recorded before the layoffs). What does it mean for the company's future? Finally, should the term we use for immediately releasing a game after its reveal be "shadow dropping" or "throwing a Beyoncé"? We think both terms have merit. All that and more on this episode of the Super Jump Podcast! Reach out: Contact us with your...

Mitchell and James are absolutely floored by a recent Nintendo announcement. Frankly, we didn’t think being open about that kind of thing in the video game industry was something you could do. Additionally, Mitchell started playing Kingdom Hearts IIIwithout first experiencing any of the other Kingdom Hearts games in any way whatsoever. It goes about as expected. James has been playing the Resident Evil 2 remake and he’s been desperately trying to finish Persona 5 — it never ends! Finally,...
