GI Show – Pokémon Trip, Call Of Duty: WWII Details, 8-4 Play Interview




The Game Informer Show show

Summary: Welcome to The Game Informer Show podcast! We have an exciting show this week filled with a lot of new information and a lot of deep dives. First up, Kyle Hilliard and Ben Hanson talk about their trip to Game Freak in Tokyo to meet the developers behind Pokémon and gain a new understanding of where that series began and where it's going with the upcoming game for the Nintendo Switch. Then we talk about our September cover story on Call of Duty: WWII and share exclusive impressions of playing the game's Nazi Zombies mode and seeing how the new HQ social space is changing the game. After some great community emails, we're joined by 8-4's John Ricciardi and Mark MacDonald from Enhance Games to talk about their podcast 8-4 Play, life in Japan, and localizing games like Nier: Automata and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
