Microsoft Buying Nintendo, PlayStation in Decline, Massive Nintendo Leak? | The Nerd Stash Show #47

<p>Hello, and welcome to another new episode of The Nerd Stash Show, our first recording of 2021!  It's already been a doozy of a year, and it's just beginning. If you're aware of recent events in America, you'll understand why we start the show with what's happening. As we've said before in the past, we try to avoid these topics since we want to be an "escapist" show, but certain topics are unavoidable and this is one. So, to start the show, we spend the first 15 minutes discussing some of our off the cuff thoughts and feelings about what's going on. And while there's no easy way to transition to the rest of the show, we still wanted to record and talk about some of the recent gaming news happening and there are some fun topics. For starters, we've learned that Microsoft approached Nintendo with discussions of buying them! Is there a possibility the PlayStation brand is declining in Japan? What about THAT Nintendo Direct "Leak" that's been floating around the internet for a few days? Let's break down these and more!
