Save me Mr Tako with Christophe Galati, BEEP Retro Game and Computer Shop, Nintendo Switch Sports

Save me Mr Tako developer Christophe Galati joins me to talk about the origins of this Game Boy inspired title, the upcoming physical release, cooking takoyaki and more! Nintendo also has a new first party release this month, Nintendo Switch Sports! I chronicle my quest to become the first six sport all-star. And as always, I hit the streets of Tokyo to talk about BEEP, a unique retro game shop that specializes in old Japanese computers. The news has a rundown on the latest Splatoon info and five figure Final Fantasy statues!
