What Could Nintendo Deliver in 2026? A Look Ahead with Special Guest Brian Shea | The Gamerheads Podcast

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1348237/open_sms]

Welcome to another episode of The Gamerheads Podcast! This week, we dig into two very different conversations. First up: Dispatch and why Nintendo’s handling of content moderation can feel wildly inconsistent, especially when you compare what gets flagged versus what quietly slips through the eShop.

Then we shift to our main topic: Highguard and the reality of launching a free-to-play team shooter in a crowded space. We break down the big player-count drop, why 3v3 on oversized maps is rubbing people the wrong way, and whether games like this can still find a long-term audience (or if the first couple weeks decide everything). 

Finally we cover the games we've been playing: Star Rupture, Project Zomboid, Death Stranding 2, and a whole lot of Animal Crossing.
