In this week's episode of The Game Deflators, John and Ryan tackle a dynamic mix of gaming news, nostalgic throwbacks, and anime hype. They kick things off with a breakdown of the latest One Piece anime episode and dive into their current progress reading the manga. Ryan then shares his newest Magic The Gathering pickups as John contemplates his next MTG purchases.

The duo then dissect a recent job listing showing Sony’s push for multiplatform releases and what it could mean for the future of exclusives. Microsoft’s decision to roll back its $80 game price point sparks a lively debate on pricing, strategy, and what it means for consumers. Finally, the guys go bananas with Donley Kong Land 2 on the Game Boy with a retro review—does it hold up, or get lost in the shadow of its SNES sibling?
