James Batchelor and Chris Dring dive into the biggest stories of the past week in our weekly Microcast, which you can watch below or listen to on the podcasting platform of your choice.
Following a quiet week - at least in terms of business news - the two discuss the slew of announcements from and around the Nintendo Partner Direct, and the opportunities afforded to games that might have struggled to gain attention in a blockbuster-heavy year like 2023.
We also discuss the industry's ongoing data deficiency issues that make it hard to difficult to truly ascertain which games are the most successful - although, as Chris observes, the data that is available is still important.
You can watch via the player below, download the audio podcast version here, or subscribe to our podcast feed, available via Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Overcast, Player FM, TuneIn and other widely-used podcast platforms.
Video versions of the Microcast can be found on the GamesIndustry.biz YouTube channel, or via this playlist.
Music composed by Thomas Marchant. Episode edited by Alix Attenborough.
We're currently exploring how we can improve the full podcast - hour-long shows featuring more of the editorial team - with plans to revive this format soon. If you have any suggestions, or anything you think is particularly missing from video games business podcasts, please email [email protected].
