- The 3DS and Wii U servers are done, and it prompted us to ask if the preservation of video games as a medium is in danger as we move toward an all-digital future. Plus we give our picks for the Top 3 Must-Play Nintendo Switch Indie games, talk about review scores, and there's even a little discussion about the Sun and Moon, but the real ones and not the Pokemon ones.

Thanks for a great conversation about my question, guys! Brilliant insight. What a treat that Mark Toms was even there to give his perspective.
Gotta say one of my favourite genres of NVC is Reb and Tom gushing about indie games
Our libraries in Canada have switch, Xbox, Series X and PS4 and PS5 games. Which is amazing.
You can also borrow Switches and Labo etc.
Same here in Michigan ❤
Reb's top three was nothing short of poetic.
So it’s not solely NVC…. Your local library is another place you can- GET THE THING! 16:08
Loved the shout out to local libraries!
🕹Many of us ask:
"Is this what you call an excellent panel???"🕹
Red is so mysterious and foxy. I'm intrigued.
Seth strikes me as a guy whose middle name is Francis.
Nope.
Thank goodness we have a trustworthy and reliable person like Jirard The Completionist committed to Games Preservation! Oh, wait….
Always love seeing Tom on the panel.
Pretendo announced you do not have to mod your WiiU for it to work
Nice comment!! Just beat the False Knight last night and I'm hooked can't wait to play more Hollow Knight!! Glad to hear all the love! 😁
Mark inspired me to pick up my first bowtie today. NVC is such a joyful listen. Never stop being you, guys/gals/non-binary pals.
My top 5 list of must-play indies for Switch are Hades, Hollow Knight, Celeste, Steamworld Dig 2, and Spiritfarer. Honoable Mention to Cuphead.
Film is also because the negatives were used to create ammunition and bombed in the blitz during WW2
To wit, film is highly combustable, making storing it kinda tricky 😝
great episode so far, love this cast!!
id like to request, someone there look into that occasional earr*pe noise (one of them is at 21:24) that happens what feels like every episode.
other than that, the quality and content are top notch! keep it up guys and have a great weekend!
Here's the thing. We know that Nintendo is by far the best at preservation based on the giga leak. They kept documents, journals, art, code etc. They are not the best at making that open to the public. Microsoft praise is fleeting at best, they're at the forefront of elimination of physical media. We know that their next revision of Xbox disappears the disc drive entirely
Officially bought FEZ for the first time off the back of this episode 👌🏼
Great episode!
Love this podcast. Keep up the great work guys!
Door Kickers: Action Squad, Sakuna: Of Rice & Ruin and Mark of the Ninja remastered. Would be my top 3 must plays
shovel knight was my game of the year in 2014 🤷♂️ i fell in love with that game and when treasure trove came out it was even better each playthrough with the characters feel so different
If any game company could actually do their own criterion collection, it’s Nintendo. But that will never happen
My favorite indies on switch are Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars. Chained echoes is my 2022 goty, masterpiece.
Most libraries do have video games you can check out.
My recommendation for indie games that weren't mentioned in this episode are: Death's Door, Gris, and River City Girls. And my honorable mention is Nexomon Extinction.
Seth is my mom’s age!
She sounds cool
@@CowbopBeBoy running theme with the 77’ people
Seth.... Tubular, or Gnarly Macy
Heck yea!! Let’s go 🙌🏾 great panel
Best NVC crew!
There are not laws restricting libraries from loaning games or any video game content. Please do not seek legal advice from NVC. Lol
Many public libraries do offer this. Sometimes they don't know there is interest, and you just need to ask a librarian to start a collection. They would probably love your video game recommendations.
Sadly YET and eventually the PS4 PS5 Switch X box line of current systems that will eventually happen as well.
Love this podcast ma dudes and dudettes
Piracy = Game Preservation
People only start talking about game preservation when there are no new games coming out. This what you get after an amazing 2023. Basically scraps
Simple answer: yes.
Seth Seth Macy?
Seth Graham Macy???
Nope
Microsoft is definitely leading the way for game preservation.
Kind of. Because their games usually are not in their disks. And it's highly possible that their next Gen console won't have disk drive.
In other words, we are depending on their network infrastructure to be able to play their games.
GAME PRESERVATION IS NOT IN DANGER... IT'S DEAD... COMPANIES ARE KILLING IT AND WE CONSUMERS ARE SUPPORTING IT... PERIOD... SYKE... 😢😢😢
Ocarina of time 3D > ocarina of time (64). Don’t at me
Xbox and Sony stores on the current consoles looks like that will be the same forever
They treating it like steam
Same store for there main console
Seth Elizabeth Macy?
No. Game preservation will never be in danger because there will always be people pirating software, ripping roms, and breaking encryption.
Thankfully
Game preservation is already in danger. A lot games have already been lost to time. The title of the podcast is ridiculous, it's been in danger since the beginning.
sorry but xbox is the death of games preservation! sure all their games are backward compatible BUT it doesn’t work without being online… so this is essentially anti game preservation
Great panel minus Oinkbecca
Nice 👍🏾 comment!
Nice comment!
Magically ‼this 🎈🎈🎈
Nothing is funnier than Gamers thinking "video game preservation" is the most important issue of our times.
If you tuned in to hear us talk about the war in the Ukraine I urge you to check the name and podcast subject before listening.
