Welcome to the Gamepad Saga Podcast. In this episode Eric and Kishion return from a break to kick off a two-part deep dive into Sonic the Hedgehog. They revisit the classics—Sonic 1, 2, 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic CD—and share memories of playing on Genesis, Game Gear, and Dreamcast while debating which stages and soundtracks stood out.

Between the Sonic chat they riff on the modern industry: console pricing (including the PS5 Pro), whether big-budget games are worth their costs, and the rise of live-service models. The hosts also trade stories about online sports games, nostalgia for Blockbuster-era gaming nights, and how game design and storytelling changed from 2D to 3D.

This episode is equal parts nostalgia, honest opinion, and gaming banter, and sets up the next installment focused on Sonic's 3D era and Adventure-era stories.
