Episode Ninja Gaiden 4 Cover Story, Voidbreaker, And Metal Gear 3DS (Feat. Mike Drucker)
In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, Emmy-nominated writer, comedian, and former Nintendo developer Mike Drucker (The Tonight Show, Bill Nye Saves the World) joins us to discuss our Ninja Gaiden 4 cover story, roguelite first-person shooter Voidbreaker, UFO 50, and his time working on Kid Icarus: Uprising — a formative handheld title for co-host Charles Harte. Later in the show, we laugh about the absurd controls of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, Lumines Arise, and The Rogue Prince of Persia. We connected Drucker with legendary game designer Roberta Williams (King's Quest, Mystery House) to discuss her legacy and its impact on his life in a new feature in Game Informer Magazine Issue 371. Drucker's latest book, Good Game, No Rematch, is available now. The Game Informer Show is a weekly podcast covering the video game industry.
