SNGP 61 - The Face Plant of the Wii U

Send us Fan MailWhile not mourning that Stadia is dead and gone, David Radd wishes he could slide in Mega Man Powered Up and somehow avoids killing Ensign Ricky in Star Trek: 25th Anniversary.  Meanwhile, Tuesday had a much better experience in Forspoken when they turned down the Cuff dialog and laughed at all the localized  American names in Raw Danger.  Meanwhile, Microsoft withdrew it's assertion that the FTC is unconstitutional while the EU looks likely to object to the Activision Blizzard acquisition, while Activision Blizzard itself refuses to acknowledge the Union at acquired studio Proletariat.  Meanwhile, the NPD reports on the best selling games of December 2022 and the year as a whole and Ubisoft cancels three games and sees unrest over an email that reportedly put the onus on workers to turn around the company's fortunes.  In the SNGP Topic, the maligned launch and poor fortunes of the Wii U are discussed, from the flawed GamePad to the marketing woes and the poor third-party software support.If you enjoy the podcast, visit us at Patreon.com/SNGP!
