GI Show – Switch Hands-On, Yakuza 0, Vicarious Visions
It's an exciting week for The Game Informer Show! Ben Reeves, Kyle Hilliard, and I flew out to New York City to play around with the Nintendo Switch. We have a lot of impressions to share, both with the hardware itself and all of the games Nintendo revealed. After a lot of Nintendo talk, Jeff Cork jumps in to explain how he fell in love with Yakuza 0 on the PlayStation 4. After some great community emails, we then interview Velan Studios' Guha and Karthik Bala about their experience founding and running the prolific Vicarious Visions from 1990-2016.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
