Hello hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Trophy Talk! Please welcome back for his fourth appearance on the show Patthetrophyhunter. Pat is a long time community member, content creator, and friend of the show and we're always pleased when we get a chance to sit down and discuss trophies and games with him.

For this particular episode we chose to discuss a few more nuanced topics that have been kicking around in our brains lately. With the most recent Nintendo Direct and the announcement of Switch 2 it seemed as good a time as any to have a discussion regarding game pricing, and the inevitable effects that inflation is having on our beloved industry. While we use Switch 2 as a jumping off point, we don't speak specifically about that console for long, rather we try and assess what we think the larger video game industry as a whole, and specifically Sony will do with the new information and pricing of Switch 2 games. From there Colin opens a discussion surrounding both Assassin's Creed and Lego games and their respective trophy hunts. With Pat and Josh being massive fans of both franchises it seemed only right to discuss what facets of these games make for compelling trophy hunts, and why both are such great trophy hunting experiences. We also take time in this episode to dig into Pat's newest gaming related hobby, collecting. How does Pat decide which stores or sales to frequent and which lots to buy? Are there specific titles he's looking for more than any others? How does collecting factor into trophy hunting? The topic is a pretty beefy one in the episode and we hope that you find it as interesting to listen to as we did during recording. Lastly we of course touch on the games we've been playing and Platinum's we've earned for the month of March before looking ahead to what April holds. With so many great AAA titles looming just weeks away, is it finally time to say that 2025 being the year of the backlog is done?

All of the aforementioned topics plus Platinum Shout Outs, and everything else you've come to expect from Trophy Talk Podcast is right behind the play button. Thank you so much for listening, we hope that you enjoy the episode. Happy Hunting!
