On this week’s Game Deflators episode, John and Ryan unbox their latest gaming hauls and share what’s hitting their shelves. The duo then dives into Wizards of the Coast's latest attempt to heal wounds in the D&D community by offering virtual tabletop map access across DnD Beyond. Is it a gesture of goodwill, or just clever cartography?

Next, the guys give their unfiltered reactions to the newest Nintendo Direct, unpacking the big reveals, the head-scratchers, and what has them reaching for their wallets.

Finally, the guys join Higgins in Super Adventure Island, a nostalgic platformer that brings surfboards, slingshots, and tropical chaos to center stage.
