Happy new year! Welcome back to the SUPERJUMP Podcast. This month, replayability is the topic of choice. We talk about how games increase and decrease their replayability through different methods.

Welcome back to the SUPERJUMP Podcast. This month, we discuss one of the heavier topics and phenomena in the gaming industry: crunch within gaming development. This topic has plagued the industry for years without a working solution, while other fields, such as movies, music, and anime, have found ways to increase sustainability in developing their products. We are joined by Matt Paprocki to discuss why crunch exists, how it affects us (the gamers, developers, and companies), and what we can do to reduce its toll on the industry. You can follow Matt on Twitter @Matt_Paprocki; thank you for joining us for this episode!

Welcome back to the SUPERJUMP Podcast. The podcast is back for a new season with a revamped format. Your hosts Tristan Jung and Raza Retiwala will discuss various gaming phenomena that help us dig into the art and science of video games. On our first episode, we talk about Video Game Streaming, a topic that has been filling the news with the recent shuttering of Google Stadia. We discuss the recent news and deep dive into the state of video game streaming, along with where we think it may go. You can find all SUPERJUMP content at https://www.superjumpmagazine.com/

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 jam. Also, although the podcast has slowed down, there have been tons of amazing articles over on the main website coming out throughout the last year. Make sure to take a look! And remember, STAY SUPER!!

Wyatt, James, and Mitchell are all here for the final (forseeable!) episode of the Super Jump Podcast.

Also all others I'm not specifically remembering at this moment in time. Please remember: Stay Super!!

How do you feel about video game announcements? Are they exciting? Do you find yourself getting wrapped up in the marketing material for projects you don't plan to ever actually engage with? We do. 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! If you'd like to write in to the show (and have your email read on-air), drop us a line at podcast@superjumpmagazine.com.

Wyatt and Mitchell talk about the Need For Speed: Heat announcement, a shake-up in the leadership of the development of Halo Infinite, and the propagation of leaks in the video game industry and more in this week's episode of the Super Jump Podcast!!

Wyatt and Mitchell talk about some of the latest releases and final tip our toes into some Gamer Girl Bath Water, but ALSO: We sat down with Gavin Price of Playtonic Games to talk about their upcoming game, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair! Join us as we talk about what's went into the development of that game, what the future of the studio might look like, and more on this week's episode of the Super Jump Podcast!!

We bring James and Mitchell back together to discuss the post-E3 news and there's... not really that much this year. That said, there's still some stuff. We'll talk about EA's "surprise mechanics," James' personal takeaways from this year's E3, great games like Super Mario Maker 2, Outer Wilds, and Cadence of Hyrule, and more on this week's Super Jump Podcast!!

Jeff Onan joins Mitchell to talk about the big show. We go over EA, Microsoft, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Square-Enix, and Nintendo's showings before going into our individual experiences on the showfloor playing demos and meeting folks. It's a magical time that only comes once per year, so we sincerely hope you'll join us on this week's Super Jump Podcast!!

In the lead-up to E3 2019, Mitchell asks Daryl Baxter back on the show to share their predictions and hopes for each participating company. Also, Mitchell accidentally calls Daryl "Dylan"! Multiple times! It's truly embarrassing! All this and more on this week's episode of the Super Jump Podcast!! Check out Daryl's work at https://darylbaxter.com/. 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 Super Jump Podcast!!

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 Gaming? All that and more in this week's Super Jump Podcast!! Theme music is by Jamatar. Check out Daryl's podcast PAL Keys here!

Wyatt and Mitchell have an abnormal amount of news to discuss on this episode, so they brought on Josh Bycer from Game Wisdom to help them out! From Anthem's shortcomings, to Pokémon Sword and Shield's announcement, to a possible collaboration between Nintendo and Xbox coming in the near future. All this and more in this month's Super Jump Podcast!! Check out Game Wisdom at http://game-wisdom.com/ Reach out: Contact us with your feedback/questions/comments - you might be read on the show!

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? Find out all that and more on this week's Super Jump Podcast.
