A new month means a new game and this February we’re playing Odin Sphere! As well in the month of love CC Portable is tackling Metroid Fusion on the GBA. The Club has a Discord set up with some topic specific channels and the bros are trying to be less bad at using it.

The month is rounding down and that means we’re nearing the end of Dark Cloud and Metroid Prime Pinball. We’ve had fun but we are looking forward to February and the games it brings. Then we announce the remainder of the lineup for Season 5 of Cartridge Club Prime. P1 has been playing Breath of the Wild with his wife and we discuss how to pronounce Setsuna.

Dark Cloud woes, Metroid Prime Pinball high scores are spinning up and the Cartridge Club tackles the SNES. P2 talks about getting a portable raspberry pi and P1 can’t remember a simple website. Hellweek begins which means time is limited for the elder bro but that didn’t stop him from getting in a couple podcasts and videos. All of this and more in the show recorded one day before the best day of the year!

Discuss story of the game:

We Love Katamari tells two stories: a self-referential story of how the King of All Cosmos is reacting to the unexpected success of Katamari Damacy, and an origin story of how the King of All Cosmos became the King of All Cosmos, met his wife, and had his son.

Announce the game for next month (Dark Cloud)

In a surprise to no one Matt Bandy is back on top of the Beat My Score challenge. Club founder Buried on Mars is running a charity event to raise money for the Heart Research Institute. The CC Video Game Awards show and CCABC round out our announcements.

Nintendo stirs the pot with a couple of tweets and a rumour. Do social media managers hold an important position among the game industry? If you sold your WiiU things are looking good for you as Nintendo brings over all the hits! P1 clearly has no idea what is considered a spoiler and what isn’t as he talks about Get Out.

New year, new format same old bros! We’re playing Dark Cloud and Metroid Prime in the games of the month and the 2018 CCABC rules are up on the forums from the benevolent Donovan Viper. Nintendo Norway drops a bomb on the internet before the revelation that Nintendo Norway doesn’t exist. The Switch is selling like hotcakes and there is light at the end of the tunnel for Bright.
