Released in 2011, the Nintendo 3DS was the last dedicated handheld put out by Nintendo.

Matt & Geoff are joined by Aidan and Ty from FunFactor Podcast to look back on the world of old gaming magazine reviews. What purpose did they serve for the readers, and for the publishers? Did we treat these writers and editors like deities? Or just fellow gamers. Where do they fit in modern gaming criticism? Are they worth revisitng today? FunFactor Podcast is a deep dive into gaming magazines of the past. Each episode is a different issue tackling not just the cover story, but all the little details that made up the gaming rags of yesteryear. You can find FunFactor here! We have a Patreon!
