This week on The Game Deflators Podcast – John and Ryan dive into the cardboard chaos of Magic: The Gathering, unpacking their latest pickups and sounding off on the absurdity of collector booster prices. Is Wizards of the Coast pricing out its own fanbase? Meanwhile, John shares his progress on Final Fantasy VI and The Witcher, revealing whether pixel nostalgia or monster hunting is winning his attention. In the news, Nintendo stirs controversy by greenlighting Palland for the eShop, despite its uncanny resemblance to Palworld—a game currently embroiled in legal drama. Is this a bold move or a blunder? And for this week’s retro review, the duo takes a slippery slide into Super Mario Sunshine for the GameCube. Does this tropical platformer still shine, or is it just a soggy mess?   Articles covered: https://www.gamesradar.com/games/survival/with-the-palworld-lawsuit-rumbling-on-in-the-background-the-nintendo-switch-welcomes-palland-a-survival-game-that-looks-a-whole-lot-like-pocketpairs-creature-collector/   https://draftsim.com/spider-man-cbb-prices/     Want more Game Deflators content?
