GoGCast 451: The First Nintendo Direct, Montreal's Video Game Industry, and more

The Girls on Games Podcast

On this week’s GoGCast, we miss the Nintendo Direct by one frikkin’ day because of our recording schedule. While you, the listeners know what was announced, past Leah, Cat and Joelle do not. So, we speculate on what will be announced during said Direct. Plus, we reminisce about E3 past and learn how subsidies made Montreal such an important city for the video game industry.
