Hi! The channel is dying. It's us. We're killing it. ALSO: Today we're talking about VIDEO GAMES that we predict that will be at TOKYO GAME SHOW, which we might call "TGS" for short, but we're absolutely talking about Tokyo Game Show, and not any other kind of company or brand or anything. I will be predicting the kinds of RPGs, especially the Japanese kind, that I think we'll see at Tokyo Game Show. Got that, YouTube? 👀HitPoint JRPG Podcast Ep 122✩ Audio Version ✩ ► https://superderekrpgs.com/hitpoint/ SOCIAL LINKS --------------------------------------------------- ✩ Derek ✩ ►Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/SuperDerekRPGs►Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/superderekrpgs.com ►Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@SuperDerek ►Discord: https://discord.me/superderek✩ Baku ✩ ►Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/BakusanOG►Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/bakusanog.bsky.social ►Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/WeebSauce ►Discord: https://discord.me/ABC #TokyoGameShow2025 #tgs2025 #jrpg #podcast #hitpointpodcastTimestamps:0:00:00 Thanks for the timestamps, Freddy!0:01:04 Intro0:04:26 Who will be on TGS?0:14:57 How long since the last time Square disappointed us?0:24:17 Who will also be on TGS?0:26:55 Capcom will be there0:40:00 Sony line-up delusions0:44:41 What will we see from Sega?0:49:25 Games that gets announced like forever ago.0:57:24 What will we see from Square-Enix?1:10:14 What will Konami show?
