Is couch co-op becoming a lost art in gaming? 🎮 In this clip from PAX West 2026, Andre Wilson of Boss Rush and Jordan Horton of Wakeup Super Studios discuss the state of local multiplayer gaming and why Nintendo continues to offer so many couch co-op experiences. With fewer options on PlayStation and Xbox, could games like Rays of Hope help bring the magic of playing together on the same couch back? This and more from PAX West 2026 on the Boss Rush Network! @TheWakeupSuper @Anndre_Wilson @PlayRaysofHope @BossRushNetwork @BossRushPodcast @PowBlockPodcast #CouchCoOp #PAXWest2026 #Gaming #Nintendo #BossRushNetwork

Every game could be someone's favorite, even the ones critics and fans didn't enjoy! At PAX West, Edward Varnell talks with Gen Moonen, Sarah Moonen, and Matt Storm from Fun and Games about their positive approach to gaming, celebrating games of all kinds, and the importance of personal recommendations. The group also discusses SideQuest and how Sarah covered the often-maligned Metroid: Other M, proving that a game's reputation doesn't determine whether someone can love it. Sometimes, all it takes is a friend recommending a game to discover your next favorite. This and more from Boss Rush at PAX, part of the Boss Rush Network! @BossRushNetwork @BossRushPodcast @PowBlockPodcast @ThatRetroCode @FunamdGamesPod #PAXWest #FunAndGames #MetroidOtherM #GamingCommunity

One great game can change everything for a developer! At PAX West, the Boss Rush crew discusses how Motion Twin's Dead Cells grew from a PC favorite into a major hit on Nintendo Switch, earning even more attention with its physical release.

With Sony ending PlayStation disc releases in 2028, reports suggest that Xbox’s next console, Project Helix, could also launch without a disc drive. youtu.be/DnLGIMjY0QY This week on Expansion Pass, Edward Varnell and Corey Dirrig discuss how Nintendo may soon stand alone as the biggest supporter of physical game releases. While the Switch 2 has introduced Game-Key Cards, Nintendo continues to release its own first-party titles on full cartridges, and physical sales remain a significant part of its business. @PowBlockPodcast @BossRushNetwork @IamCoreyinHD @ThatRetroCode #ExpansionPass #BossRushNetwork #NintendoSwitch2 #PhysicalGames #PlayStation #Xbox #GamingNews #GameCollection

This Red Dead Redemption debate gets personal fast. Corey Dirrig, Edward Varnell, and Stephanie Klimov break down a tough “Marry, Love, Defeat” choice between Arthur Morgan, John Marston, and Dutch Van der Linde, and things get heated with some very strong opinions about who deserves what fate. From heartfelt respect for Arthur to zero patience for Dutch, the Nintendo Pow Block crew turns a Wild West question into a hilarious character breakdown full of personality and chaos. @PowBlockPodcast @BossRushNetwork @ThatRetroCode @IamCoreyinHD @Klimov_Author #NPB500 #NintendoPowBlock #NintendoSwitch2 #Nintendo #RedDeadRedemption #ArthurMorgan #JohnMarston #CoreyDirrig #EdwardVarnell #StephanieKlimov #GamingPodcast
