I Played Final Fantasy VII Revelation as a Complete FF7 Noob Bonus
Show notes
I got to play Final Fantasy VII Revelation, but there’s one catch: I’m a huge Final Fantasy VII noob.
I don’t have decades of FF7 nostalgia, I don’t know every piece of lore, and I’m definitely not going to catch every reference. So instead, I’m looking at Revelation from the perspective of someone relatively new to this world.
How does the combat feel? Is it overwhelming for a newcomer? Does the world make me want to see more? And most importantly, did playing Final Fantasy VII Revelation make me want to finally dive deeper into Final Fantasy VII?
Final Fantasy VII Revelation launches April 8, 2027 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Let me know in the comments: if you’re a longtime Final Fantasy VII fan, what’s the ONE thing I need to know before Revelation?

Nintendo Direct September 10? New Evidence Points to Next Week
Show notes
The next Nintendo Direct may be happening sooner than we thought. A new post from the official Just Dance account says Ubisoft will reveal more about Just Dance: Decades of Hits on September 10, and that date is now fueling speculation that Nintendo's next Direct could happen the same day.
Just Dance has regularly appeared in Nintendo Direct presentations, Nintendo traditionally holds a presentation ahead of Tokyo Game Show, and September 10 is now being mentioned by multiple people following Nintendo news. Nothing has been officially announced by Nintendo yet, but the pieces are starting to line up. Tonight on the Nintendo PowerCast, we're breaking down the September 10 Nintendo Direct rumor, why the date makes sense, and what Nintendo could potentially show if a Direct really is coming next week.

Nintendo Talks Game Preservation, Switch Online, and the Future of Classics
Show notes
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa recently talked about how Nintendo views preserving its history and connecting players with classic games through Nintendo Switch Online. With the Nintendo Museum now giving fans a physical way to experience Nintendo’s past, and Switch Online continuing to expand with NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, and now GameCube games on Switch 2, Nintendo seems focused on subscriptions as the main path forward for its classic library.
Furukawa also said Nintendo wants to keep exploring a “variety of possibilities” when it comes to giving players access to games from the past. Tonight we’re talking about what that actually means, whether Switch Online is enough, why fans still miss Virtual Console, and what Nintendo needs to do next to make its classic game strategy feel complete.
