Spawn Wave

Jonathan Downey (born: ), better known online as Spawn Wave or Spawn Wave Media, is a gaming YouTuber who covers various topics realted to video games across the Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft gaming platforms. He is known mostly for his News Wave and Tech Wave videos.
==News Wave==
News Wave is a daily video game news show, made in the format of a TV News show, that is the main series covered by Jon on the channel. News Wave is published every weekday morning at 8am EST. The show covers the latest official and unofficial (such as rumors, speculation and leaks) news from the three major video game platforms, as well as various PC and third-party platforms. 
==Tech Wave==
Tech Wave is a video series in which Jon discusses video game hardware. This can include a variety of older and more recent hardware, as well as hardware variations (such as the Wii Family Edition or DSi), in various conditions. These videos will usually give an overview of the hardware, and what sets them apart from the crowd; from there, they'll begin to go more in-depth, as Jon will usually take apart the hardware and talk about its internal components.
==GameCube Collection==
Another notable series he has made is the GameCube Collection, in which he built up an expansive GameCube video game collection from scratch using a variety of sources. The GameCube, which only sold 21.7 million units in its heyday, is known for being a difficult console to collect for, with many of its games skyrocketing in price in recent years. Examples of such games include Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Super Smash Bros. Melee and the GameCube version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
== Former series ==
In addition to the above, Jon also ran several other series that were covered on the channel at times, however these have mainly be shelved and integrated into News Wave or other videos.
=== Saturday Show ===
Originally known as News Wave WIR (Week in Review), this series was uploaded every Saturday. The Saturday Show recapped all the news that came out during the week in News Wave. The series also featured Jon reviewing comments made by his viewers discussing the news from the week. The show ran for several years but has since been shelved, with Jon seemingly replacing it with the "Comment of the day" segment in News Wave, where he reviews a comment from one of his subscribers at the end of every News Wave episode that talks about the latest gaming news.
=== Esports Wave ===
Esports Wave ran from 2017 to 2018, and was covered by Jon's friend and associate Evan, who ran his own YouTube channel, KimerexGames. The series covered all news related to the Esports platform, including Esports games like Overwatch and Super Smash Bros, and events such as Blizzcon. The series was discontinued in 2018, due to Evans leaving YouTube.
=== Rumor Wave ===
Jon had an occassional series called Rumor Wave, where he discussed possible rumors about upcoming video games and consoles that haven't been confirmed by the gaming companies themselves. This series has been discontinued, as Jon now prefers to talk about video game rumors in the News Wave series instead.
=== News Wave Extra ===
Another occassional series done by Jon is News Wave Extra, which covered any new bits of gaming news that had come out and was not able to be featured in the standard News Wave videos. This series has also been shelved, with Jon instead including new information that appears into either the next News Wave video, or into a separate video entirely (without using the title of News Wave Extra).
