  • Episode 212 - Fire Emblem: Awakening
    Jun 23 2026

    Fire Emblem: Awakening, my first ever Fire Emblem game. The one that started it all for me. Going back to it again after all these felt so good. This game put the series on the map in the West turning it into the juggernaut it is today.

    This week, I am joined by Raging Demon from the Kommand List podcast.

  • Episode 211 - Devil May Cry
    Jun 11 2026

    Do Devil's cry? Well that is the question this week as I play Devil May Cry for the Playstation 2. A new franchise for Capcom which is still doing extremely well today.

    I am joined this week by Storm Beagle from the Retrotopia podcast. Can we face despair head on or be swallowed by the night?

  • Episode 210 - Mina the Hollower
    Jun 7 2026

    Time to go on a large adventure with a little mouse. Mina the Hollower, the newest game from Yacht Club Games is now out on all platforms. I was very lucky to receive a review copy of the game, and had the chance to sit down with Nick Woznick and David D'Angelo from the team. I really believe this game will be up there come awards season but remember this game is hard.....very hard.

  • Episode 209 - Batman
    May 25 2026

    I am BATMAN. One of the best lines ever spoken, and today, I play the cape crusaders first appearance on the NES. I had heard this was a difficult game but I decided I wanted to have a challenge. The question is, did I finish this and beat the Joker?

    This week, I am joined by Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast.

  • Episode 208 - Super Mario 64
    May 14 2026

    Super Mario 64, one of the biggest games of our generation. It brought us kicking and screaming into the 3D with one little plumber. Super Mario 64 has a huge fan base behind it and I hope this episode can do it justice. This week, I am joined by debutant, Tion, where we talk all sorts from Yoshi to speedrunning.

  • Episode 207 - Mighty Final Fight
    Apr 28 2026

    It is time for the final fight.....in chibi form. Yes, we are talking Mighty Final Fight for the NES. A game I never knew existed because it came so late in the NES' life. It is a demake if you will of the original final fight with a chibi art style and I won't lie, I love this game. Joining me this week, is Captain N from the Retrotopia podcast.

  • Episode 205 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III - The Manhattan Project
    Apr 9 2026

    Still one of the weirdest names for the video game, it is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III - The Manhattan Project on the NES. I had never played this prior to this podcast and this saddens me because it is a great game. The turtles are on the quest to save Manhattan from being lifted from the ground...yes it is odd. This week I am joined by Blaine the Hoagie man from the Retro Ryders podcast.
