Mario Clash (Virtual Boy) and the Nintendo Cinematic Universe
Season 6 · Episode 8
mardi 31 mars 2026 • Duration 51:07
The first episode of many recorded from my new place in Korea, and it's a Virtual Boy game because why not?
Star Fox in the new Mario movie implies that you reasonably could set up a Star Fox movie off of this and create a whole Nintendo Cinematic Universe so WE TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A BIT.
NOTICE: Episodes will be bi-weekly for a while - I'm moving and it's going to mess with the schedule for a month or two. In fact, by the time you read this, I will be on the other side of the planet! So that's cool.

Balloon Kid (Game Boy) and the Final Ohio Podcast
Season 6 · Episode 7
mardi 17 mars 2026 • Duration 55:08
This podcast has always been recorded remotely, but this is the last one, at least for a long while, that will be at least half-recorded in Ohio.
Perhaps appropriately, it's about a kid going on a flying adventure.

Mr. Driller 2 and the Resident Evil Bulk Purchase
Season 5 · Episode 39
mercredi 17 décembre 2025 • Duration 51:16
The point of this week's episode is that Mr. Driller as a game is whatever, but the LORE IS DEEPER THAN YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.
Also, I guess I'm just gonna play all the Resident Evil games now? I bought a bunch of them mid-podcast and am getting ready to stream the first one as I publish this.

Marchen Maze (PC Engine) and the Manga-to-Anime Transition
Season 4 · Episode 39
mardi 10 octobre 2023 • Duration 01:01:30
A new season of Spy x Family has dropped and that sends us into a discussion about the changing ways manga has gotten adapted into anime over the years (spoilers: it's better now). Also, the 6 companies that own everything, more Monster Hunter Now, and Tom asks why he was forced to play this week's podcast game!

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (GBC) and the One Piece History
Season 4 · Episode 38
mardi 3 octobre 2023 • Duration 01:12:17
We're talking One Piece this week! Sort of! Tom is way behind in the manga, and TW watched a couple episodes of it back in 2006 or so, and also the whole thing is much older than we thought. Also, One Punch Man is still awesome.
Both of us went into this podcast ready to dump on this game, and question Nintendo for dumping random trash on their service, but ACTUALLY? Super ambitious, really impressive attempt at translating 3D graphics to the Game Boy Color. It still isn't GOOD, but we get why it's there as a technical showcase.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (GBC) and the Monster Hunter Now Review
Season 4 · Episode 37
mardi 26 septembre 2023 • Duration 01:25:14
Turns out we both, independently, started playing Monster Hunter Now, the first Niantic game that has made any sense at all since they released Pokemon GO. You can definitely feel the guts of Pokemon GO - Niantic gonna Niantic, after all - but early impressions seem promising!
The second Oracle game is complete, and with it comes a discussion on Oracle of Seasons itself, comparisons between the two, and impressions of the "linked game" functionality. There's a lot to unpack in this one.
Also, Villain Bracket!

Bad Dudes vs. DragonNinja (NES) and the Dokapology
Season 4 · Episode 36
mardi 19 septembre 2023 • Duration 51:54
Dokapon Kingdom continues on a confluence of unusual events that end with hitting what amounts to a 20% critical hit and it's all TW's fault. At this point I don't even know if people care who wins as long as it's somebody.
Good. Dokapon is doing its job. Maybe it's over by now. Maybe not.
Like Zero Wing, Bad Dudes is best remembered for weird memes and that's for the best.

EnEn Angel (PS1) and the Three Hopes Hype
Season 4 · Episode 35
mardi 12 septembre 2023 • Duration 01:10:45
After a year, TW finally plays Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes and cannot stop gushing about it. Also, Yakuza 5 hunting, the awkward conclusion of the spiky hair bracket, and the best idea for an arcade game that will absolutely never, ever, ever happen.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (GBC) and the Chubawamba Album
Season 4 · Episode 34
mardi 5 septembre 2023 • Duration 01:29:29
Today's parents are introducing their kids to old video games the way parents used to try to get their kids into older music or movies - change my mind.
Related: The album name is Tubthumper. The song name is Tubthumping. I do not know why.
This is like a part 1 of this podcast, as it's impossible to discuss all of Oracle of Ages without having also played Oracle of Seasons, but I haven't played Seasons yet, so that and the linked content will be covered in a future podcast (probably later this month)!
