Merry Christmas from Carpool Gaming! May your backlogs grow tremendously this week.

Paging @psvg.net !

It’s so beautiful, I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING!

We were live reacting to this in our Discord server and I wish we recorded it because my reaction was very similar to @tolkoto.com’s! I feel bad for the people watching alone who’s ears were blown out by me FREAKING OUT

The 2025 Games of our Year (GOOYs). We record on SUNDAY. But we need 🫵YOU🫵 to send in your 3 favorite games that you played this year. The best part of the show are the community submissions so don't miss out! We want to hear from you. Deadline: Sunday at 12PM ET forms.gle/Z8rnipjui1NN...

Well, since NewsWave and the Spawncast are weekly staples in my rotation it’s no wonder @spawnwave.bsky.social is my top watched YouTube channel in 2025! Here’s to another year of good content!

Happy Black Friday Koopalings! Shack records TONIGHT at 7PM. This is our last Shack of 2025 and we'd love to have questions DIRECTLY FROM YOU 🙌 SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

Today is a day I have been waiting for since finishing Metroid Prime 3 back in 2007! We’re 1 week away from Metroid Prime 4 and I can’t freaking wait!

HOLY CRAP! This is probably one of the best NSO updates in the longest time! Ninja Gaiden 2 and Bionic Commando GB in particular I have huge soft spots for!

Y’all, it’s after midnight and I just finished the first two episodes of Dispatch and, yooooooooo, this game is soooooo freaking good! Excited to see where the other episodes go!

Friends, I have watched the Metroid Prime 4 Overview trailer, I've read some previews and I'm here to tell you something brave, Metroid Prime 4, STILL LOOKS AWESOME! YES, the thing everyone is talking about isn't great, but I like fleshing out the story! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mBR...

Sooooo excited for the Steam Machine, this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for over the Steam Deck

YOOOOOOOOOO!

ONE MORE MONTH Y'ALL! This trailer is great! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fN5...

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight, this was fun! Look for further discussion on Xbox Drive this Friday!

I'm going LIVE playing Ninja Gaiden 4, LET'SSSSSS GOOOOOO! @carpoolgaming.com www.twitch.tv/carpoolgamin...

I’ve also been playing Ninja Gaiden 4 and I have a few notes: 🔥This game RULES 🔥It runs BEAUTIFULLY on my PC 🔥I have never enjoyed a 3D Ninja Gaiden game until this. I can’t wait to discuss more with Ryan and y’all on The Xbox Drive this week.

My review of Ninja Gaiden 4 is FINALLY here and this game was worth the wait (please don't make us wait this long again Team Ninja!) Check out my review below and I'll be livestreaming the game over at @carpoolgaming.com www.twitch.tv/carpoolgamin... at 8PM EST! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbjB...

Good news everyone! I'm leading our coverage of Ninja Gaiden 4 over at @carpoolgaming.com, thanks to our friends over at @xbox.com! My review will be live on youtube.com/carpoolgaming on Monday, October 20th at 7PM EST. At that time I'll also be streaming the game over on twitch.tv/carpoolgaminglive

I have been given the opportunity to play and review The OuterWorlds 2 for @carpoolgaming.com. Review code is provided by @xbox.com. Expect my impressions of the game on October 23rd 6 AM PDT.

Exciting news everyone! Thanks to @xbox.com, I will be playing AND reviewing Keeper by @doublefine.com 😄 Make sure to tune in to the Xbox Drive Friday 17th October over at @carpoolgaming.com for my full thoughts 💙

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for an absolutely amazing #subtember. You are amazing.

Turns out that Hades 2 video game for the Nintendo Switch 2 console, is pretty good!

OMFG, I'M BUYING ALL OF THESE IF i CAN GET THROUGH THE LINE. Spending the rest of the day brewing my Aloy deck!

LIVE NOW! Come hang out at twitch.tv/carpoolgamin...

I will be one of the people here, please be excited!

Soooooo happy we got BOTH versions of the Zelda 2 soundtrack on Nintendo Music! I think Zelda 2 has an underrated Nintendo soundtrack and having both the NES version and the upgraded Famicom Disk System versions on there is a great add! This was one on my list of missing soundtracks!

Y’all, the beta for Sonic Racing Crossworlds was great and the single player demo is great too! Definitely moving this one up in the queue of games to get to next week

I built a deck around Silk, Web Weaver and after some playtesting I'm excited to put this one together and jam some games with it to tweak the deck further! I don't really have a creature token generator deck like this. moxfield.com/decks/aMroIb...

Y'all, I think I'm excited for Virtual Boy on NSO! @carpoolgaming.com www.twitch.tv/carpoolgamin...

YOOOO, this is actually a pretty good month for PS+! Legacy of Kain: Defiance is a really cool PS2 game. I really liked the demo for Fate/Samurai Remnant and it's been on my wishlist forever. Haven't checked out WWE 2K25 yet but I'm excited to play it and Persona 5 Tactica is great too!

1. The next mainline Fire Emblem is revealed, coming Q1 2026 2. Tomb Raider Survivor Trilogy on Switch 2 3. SEGA Reveals a NEW MAINLINE SHINING FORCE GAME (they have 4 unannounced games coming to TGS and they're bring back old IP so MAYBE THERE'S HOPE??)

LETSSSSS GOOOOOOOO! Gimmie dat Metroid Prime 4 release date!

The fact that the Terminator 2 arcade game is featured in this trailer has me raising my eyebrows and curious about what the heck we’ll see here

👀👀👀👀 It begins!

YESSSSSSSSSS! I’m going to play the hell out of this!!!

Now that we've made it to GamesCom, I've compiled the ten games that I'm most excited for releasing in 2025!

All and all I think that Opening Night Live was pretty good today (though part of that is because there's lots of stuff I'm really excited for). It looks like we've got some good games on the horizon.

Requesting a live look in on @psvg.net after this got announced

This game looks soooo RAD! Can’t wait to play it in November!

👀👀👀

Whoa, they’re FINALLY returning to LEGO Batman, can’t wait!

YOOOOOOO Bitmap Bureau is making this too so it’s bound to be good!

This game actually looks pretty cool and I like BSG!

MY BODY IS READY!

LETS FREAKING GOOOOO, CANT WAIT!
