64-Bits of Rage: Recent Episodes
Anthony Schultz
64-Bits of Rage is a Nintendo-centric podcast presented by ASInquisitor-- Co-hosted by the husband, wife duo Anthony and Ariel Schultz, 64-Bits of Rage covers everything and anything Nintendo related, while sometimes bleeding over into more generalized video game topics akin to its sister podcast, Rage Quit.
In this episode of 64-Bits of Rage, we talk about our passion for collecting, especially when it concerns Nintendo collectibles such as:
Posters, controllers, building kits, physical media, steel books, Amiibos…and more!
What do you guys and gals collect? Do you collect at all, or do you abhor the idea?

Sony and Microsoft both released iterative, more-powerful consoles during this generation, but does Nintendo necessarily need to follow suit?
The Nintendo Switch is in a unique position in that it is (now) a half cycle off of its 'competitors,' however, will it now be more difficult for 3rd-party games to be ported to the Switch without a beef up in hardware, or is the allure of the Switch simply too great to ignore even without a mid-cycle, hardware boost?

Nintendo dabbles more heavily in downloadable content, season passes, and expansions with the Switch, but do they pull it off? Have they learned from Sony, Microsoft, and the 3rd-parties that have tried-and-tested the formula over the past fifteen-years?
