Hello Friends!

We're all set to record another podcast but would love some more questions from you lovely lot. This is for the TripleJump Podcast! Remember, as our esteemed financial supporters, we'll be exclusively coming to you for weekly discussion topics, so please read the following guidelines before submitting:

- No controversial or naughty questions please

- This is a video game podcast about video games so please keep the questions video-game-related

- Going forwards, we'd love it if you can base your questions on any video game news that drops in the week. It doesn't just have to be big serious stories though, so ask us about anything you find on the web. While we will still answer non-news questions from time to time, we're hoping that with a different focus we can avoid repetition.

- If there's a particular event or happening in the industry that you'd like us to discuss in detail, feel free! We like to address one 'big question' per week to headline each show, and pepper in smaller questions throughout

- Try to avoid topics we've covered before

- "Questions on a postcard" (don't make your question too long!)

- We typically record on Thursday morning, so try to get your questions in by Wednesday afternoon!

Thanks all! We look forward to reading through your offerings, and we can't overstate how much we appreciate your support on Patreon and elsewhere!

love ya <3

- BAP

My dearest Ashton (also Brian and Dick) With Metroid Prime 4 now officially-ish announced and unveiled, it seems more conspicuous than ever that Nintendo has not yet dropped the remakes of Metroid Prime 2 and 3. While the first one was able to be a big success with a shadow drop, I do find myself wondering if that tactic can possibly keep yielding goodwill with fans if they do the same for 2 and 3. I would think that be the time 3 comes around, audiences would just be rolling their eyes and losing interest. I have to say, between ads that hype games that won't come out for years and games that are shadow dropped, sometimes it feels like game companies have forgotten how to advertise at all. What do you think? Is shadow dropping an effective strategy? And for how long can you keep it up? Thank you, Ashton!

Hi DAB! This is unlikely to come as a surprise, but it seems like the project of porting AAA games to iOS isn't going too well. Reports show that the iPhone/iPad versions of games like Assassin's Creed Mirage, Resident Evil 4 (remake), and Death Stranding have been commercial flops, with the most optimistic estimates showing that the best selling game in the lineup has been paid for by just 34,000 users on these platforms. What do you think is going on here? Is there a strategy where the mythical "console-quality games on mobile" would ever work? (and do we even want it to?) Or is the whole idea a non-starter designed purely as a marketing gimmick? https://mobilegamer.biz/those-assassins-creed-resident-evil-and-death-stranding-ports-have-bombed/
