The DF Retro Super Show returns with another big signature episode. It's 25 years since the launch of the brilliant Game Boy Advance - so what better reason is there for John, Try and Coury to discuss the origins of the system, share anecdotes about the launch and then to spend well over two hours discussing every launch game in every territory?

Some excellent questions from Digital Foundry Supporters this week. Does the F1 25 PS5 Pro path tracing demo and ReSTIR optimisations mean that path tracing is going mainstream - maybe for next gen? Is there still untapped potential in PS5 and Series X? Is Microsofts new We Are Xbox strategy document just a massive balloon of hot air? Is Nvidia making path tracing an exclusive feature and what do we think about that? And... a year on from release, why Oblivion Remastered still broken?
