ARGcast #21: No Man's Sky Refunds and Deep Cuts with Andre Tipton


Listen Later

Andre Tipton of Real Otaku Gamer chats with the boys about the drama unfolding around No Man's Sky, Nintendo games you may have never heard of, and the painstaking way Sega designed their games back in their heyday!

Does No Man's Sky developer Hello Games owe gamers an apology? Are gamers today simply too entitled to be asking for refunds? These are the questions we answer and more over this latest bit of industry shenanigans.

We bring the primary focus back to what we know best (retro gaming!) by getting into some one hit wonders by the Big N. Do these Nintendo deep cuts deserve followups? Which ones could have been successful given the proper marketing?

GIVEAWAY: We have TWO physical copies of Worms WMD for you lucky ARGonauts out there! Just let us know your favorite one hit wonder along with your console of choice (PS4 or Xbox One) on Twitter or Facebook for a chance to win. Winners will be announced on September 9th.

The show wraps up with a quick discussion over how Sega used their own custom made machines to create some of their most beloved classics. If you are a fan of history and how games were made back in the '80s and '90s, you won't want to miss this!

The Stage of History this week includes the near Tarzan knockoff Jungle Hunt, the RTS that put the genre on the map Command & Conquer, and "a Hideo Kojima game" Metal Gear Solid. Along with our big giveaway mentioned earlier, we also have game codes sprinkled throughout the show, so be sure to pick those up!
