Who’s Buying A Steam Deck? & We Prepare For Pokemon Unite And Predict The Metagame

We discuss the Steam Deck and if it’ll find a solid audience — if we ever get them in Australia. Who’s planning to buy one on the couch and who thinks it’s a big waste of money? Your first guess is probably right.

Also on the show this week we discuss Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, a bunch of game delays. We also dive into Pokemon Unite which is releasing this week and try and make sense of the mechanics, different Pokemon types and meta-game.
