The Six-Button Samurai and GameAgentETare joined by longtime friend and former fellow fighting stick assembler, Aaron Holley, who unlike The Last of Us's Joel and God of War Kratos, actually enjoys fatherhood while trying to get in some gaming with his trusty SteamDeck. He provides a fresh third perspective as we take a last conclusive dip into the Not E3 Summer showcases, talking about what we're looking forward to the rest of the year in gaming. Plus, we talk about the sheer challenge that awaits the folks making the just-announced new live action Street Fighter movie. It's a damned fun episode, so don't sleep on the latest OH GOD IT Hz!

@GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six-Button Samurai continue to be awash in trailers for new games as Not E3 Season marches on. We stop to pick apart the Season 2 DLC announcement for Street Fighter VI, as longtime SNK stalwarts, though Eddy himself had some timing qualms about what it all meant for the future, while James took a rosier view of the big news. Then our heroes plunged headlong into the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, which to be fair, was pretty jam-packed with a lot of great-looking new games, delivering the Xbox faithful a much-needed shot of positivity and something to look forward to. (The calculated PR rehab of the Three Microsoft Suits, perhaps, not so much.) Don't miss the latest episode of OH GOD IT Hz!

It’s ‘Not E3 Season’ in the gaming industry, and in 2024 that means a loose amalgamation of streaming events that mostly seem destined to underwhelm, as the long tail of development weirdness from the pandemic continues to sow instability after a horrific round of layoffs this year. Despite this, @GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six-Button Samurai continue to charge into the breach, discussing Sony’s State of Play event and the forthcoming Summer Game Fest, Xbox Games Showcase, and the June Nintendo Direct (whenever that happens). In this episode, we also pick apart the fortunes of various game franchises, parsed by The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly. We also stop to observe the 1st Anniversary of Street Fighter VI, and what our hopes are from Season 2. We’re in a fighting mood on the latest OH GOD IT Hz!

The tide of bad news for gaming continues to rise in 2024, as The Six-Button Samurai and @GameAgentET (OGiH) attempt to make sense of the recent closure of studios by Xbox, a dim earnings report from Square Enix, and a variety of other issues hitting console-makers and devs alike. But it isn’t all sad songs and whiskey, as Eddy and JJJ also discuss the raging rumor mill for the next Nintendo Switch and talk about what they’re playing right now. Enjoy the highs and commiserate about the lows with us on an all-new OH GOD IT Hz!

The Six-Button Samurai and @GameAgentET (OGiH) take a look at the Amazon streaming series Fallout, based on Bethesda Software’s RPG franchise, just renewed for a 2nd season, while Fallout 4 gets a next-gen upgrade on PS5/XB (a mixed bag thus far), along with a sharp spike in interest in the entire line of games generated by the show. Given the success of Fallout and The Last of Us on streaming television, and Mario and Sonic at the box office, are video games finally due for a gold rush in movie/TV adaptations? With superhero movies seemingly in decline, this may be the time for games to shine. Eddy and JJJ also take on the rising expectations for JRPG localizations in Western markets, and observe the 35th anniversary of the first handheld gaming system that mattered, the Nintendo Game Boy! We’ve definitely got our hands full on the latest OH GOD IT Hz.

@GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six Button Samurai get a bit misty-eyed talking about reaching their 50th episode of OGIH. But they’re also knee-deep in chasing the retro gaming biscuit, as Eddy continues to play Shadow of the Ninja in anticipation of the Natsume-Atari remake due later this year and further experiments with the Taito Egret trackball, while JJJ continues to grind through Earthbound for SNES and Suikoden on the PlayStation. They also discuss aesthetic gripes over Stellar Blade and Star Wars: Outlaws, and both wax heavily about their desire to see Konami restored to their former glory. Enjoy a monumental milestone episode of OH GOD IT Hz!

The Six Button Samurai and @GameAgentET (OGiH) are quite excited about SNK’s journey back to Southtown, in the form of FATAL FURY: CITY OF THE WOLVES, and we dive headlong into the previews to discuss how we felt about the first reveal of this LONG-awaited follow-up to 1999’s Garou: Mark of the Wolves. But that’s not all we have in store, as we talk GTA VI production woes and a return to office edict from Rockstar, the all-new Mega Drive shooter EARTHION from the legendary Yuzo Koshiro, and Atari’s return to making… arcade cabinets?!? We’re never quite sure what year it is on this show, but get ready for another hot episode of OH GOD IT Hz!

Oh God It Hz Episode 48: In Toriyama We Trust

GameAgentET and The Six Button Samurai are squeezing the juice from a few different hot-button items fresh from the world of video games, chief among them what it means now that the developers of Yuzu, the Nintendo Switch emulator, have settled out of court and will cease their activities following a big lawsuit from Nintendo. JJJ and Eddy also take on the red-hot rumor about a brand-new entry in the Virtua Fighter series, and what our hopes and concerns are for that series striving to make an impact in the modern fighting game arena. Last but certainly not least, we wrestle with the enormous creative legacy of Akira Toriyama, famed creator of Dragon Ball and countless other comics, anime, and manga properties, who passed away last week at age 68. We’ll share some of our favorite games and characters from his impressive body of work. Journey to the East with us on the latest episode of OH GOD IT Hz!
