Steam Deck Pre-Order Woes – The TouchArcade Show #498

The TouchArcade Show – An iPhone Games Podcast

In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show we spend a healthy amount of time discussing the biggest news in the gaming world this week: Valve announcing the Steam Deck handheld gaming PC. We also talk about what an absolute clown show the pre-ordering process was. We then switch gears to talk about Eli’s new employer Gamemill’s upcoming game Nickelodeon’s All-Star Brawl, which kind of set the internet on fire this week. Finally we hit on some of the top mobile gaming stories of the week, including a LONG-awaited update to Slay the Spire. Links can be found in the Show Notes below.

Don’t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to [e-mail]. We read ’em all, and love decoding messages written entirely in emoji.
