1UP.com - 1UP Radio

On this all-too-soon finale of 1UP's Retronauts, we forego the sappy goodbyes and instead concentrate on what we've done best in these past seven years: complain incessantly about Virtual Console. Join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Chris Kohler, and Ray Barnholt as they look back on the wonders and blunders this recent generation has brought to classic gaming, and mull over what the future will hold for retro games on shiny new consoles. Thanks for your support over the years!

This week we put together a show that ties into our site's cover story theme, "It Came From Outer Space." Join host Jose Otero along with guests Bob Mackey, Marty Sliva, IGN's Ryan McCaffery for games discussion. And check out a special interview segment with Marcus Lindblom, one of the localizers behind a beloved Super Nintendo game called Earthbound.

This week on our yet unnamed podcast, we talk about Dead Space 3 and Fire Emblem: Awakening with lots of special guests. Tune in for the vocal contributions of Jose Otero, Mitch Dyer, Jeremy Parish, Destin Leguire, Bob Mackey, and Marty Sliva.

We're back with a marginally new title, and slightly older hosts! Join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Sam Claiborn, and Ray Barnholt as they adhere to Retronauts tradition for this first show of the new year by discussing 1973, 1978, 1983, 1988, and 1993. And if that's not enough for you, we talk about ALF a bunch for some reason. No problem!

We haven't settled on a new name for this podcast yet, but we have a great show for you this week. First up, a very special 1UP Direct, as we discuss this morning's Nintendo news with Richard George from IGN's Nintendo channel. After that, Gamespy's Dan Stapleton sits down with me for a special interview with Jake Solomon, the lead designer of XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

Kat, Marty, and Bob sit down to talk about Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Xenoblade Chronicles, Diablo III, and many of the other notable RPGs of 2012. Which ones were the best, and which ones fell short? Find out!

This week, Games, Dammit! talks all about the Wii U. In our first segment, Wired's Chris Kohler joins 1UP's Jose Otero to talk about the launch and a feature Chris recently wrote called, "Ten Things I Hate About Wii U." Afterwards, Bob Mackey and Marty Sliva chime in with their impressions of the games currently available for the system.

Was the Wii secretly a great console for RPGs? Kat, Bob, and Marty look back on the Wii's RPG library and look ahead to the future of the Wii U.

Your favorite classic gaming podcast is here to save Christmas -- and with an unprecedented lack of Ernest P. Worrell. Join Bob Mackey and the rest of the Retronauts crew for this extra-special holiday surprise, featuring traces of the wit and whimsy that made you love last year's celebration so much.

This week, 1UP takes a break from talking about strictly video games to bring you a one-of-a-kind discussion about the biggest anime ever made in Japan. That's right, this episode is all about Evangelion, as the third rebuild of the series makes it ways to Japanese theaters. 1UP's Jose Otero, Jeremy Parish, and Bob Mackey are joined by Christian Nutt, features editor for Gamasutra.com, as they deep dive into a discussion about EVA, what it brought to video games, and ponder some of the most divisive topics in the series fiction.
