@xmattbandyx & @Buried_On_Mars get crazy with Curtiss this month for March Madness* to discuss all things Game Boy Advance! The rules were simple: play any GBA game you want!

Thank you to everyone who chimed in on the forums or Twitter! 

The Cartridge Club is back for March's stroll through the Finch House to find out what really happened to Edith's family, and determine if there truly is a curse.

@itsRocketSauce aka Ryan soars into action alongside Curtiss to discuss Kid Icarus: Uprising for the Nintendo 3DS!

Does it really have the worst control scheme ever? What do Pit and Curtiss have in common? And was Ryan serious when he said THIS GAME is his favorite 3DS game???

Join hosts Ryan (@ItsRocketSauce) and Musty (@MustyHobbit) as we invite on Josh (@Creep1337) and series mega-fan Church (@The_GameGrinder) to discuss everything we can possibly think of about our favorite hip-shaking city guardian.

James aka @RetroPixil and Curtiss play the most expensive CCPortable game to date! Is Shantae worth the price of admission? Why was it such a failure upon its initial release? And does it deserve a place in YOUR collection?
