We catch up from a planned week off last week, as Rob was attending the Southern Fried Gaming Expo, where he got to participate on a few panels. We catch up on the latest with Donkey Kong Bananza as revealed by Nintendo in a direct, then talk about some early Switch 2 sales figures. Are third parties making similar mistakes to what they made with the Wii-U? We discuss, and throw in plenty of stories from this week as well. All this and more make up another episode of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

I'll be at the Southern-Fried Gaming Expo speaking on a panel about obscure games and hosting a panel with video game voice actors! A PSA if you have a Nintendo Switch 2 - update your controllers firmware! There is a firmware update and the console does NOT automatically update your controllers. The Switch 2 is now officially Nintendo's fastest selling device, and is most likely the fastest selling video game console ever. The SAG-AFTRA voice actors strike over AI protections has been suspended, which means voice actors are now returning to work. Then we take suggestions from chat about obscure video games that you might have missed, none of which we actually used in the presentation, but it was good hearing them!

Finally after nearly a year of striking, it appears the gaming voice actors strike may be near it's end, with a suspension declared this week. Could Fortnite have accelerated this bargaining process? We talk about this at the top of our show along with news out of Sony. The PlayStation 5 has been one of it's most successful consoles, so why do they keep doing layoffs at studios? Much seems to be riding on one of their upcoming titles. We talk about all this and much more on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!

We attempt to do two hours of gaming talk in one hour, so buckle up! The ROG Xbox Ally is the handheld Xbox, announced at Summer Game Fest.
