GOODNESS GRACIOUS! This week Patrick Knisely joins the podcast to discuss the newest in our series on video game tropes concerning the elements: Fire!! Why is fire so prevalent in video games, and why does it usually symbolize boss battles? Is lava as dangerous in the real world as it is in Super Mario Brothers? Why are campfires often associated with save locations in RPGs? We answer these questions and many more in our deep dive on this very hot topic. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as the controversial release of Pokemon Champions, Super Mario Galaxy & Metal Gear Solid movie news, Xbox Game Pass & Amazon Luna shutting down key services and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing. Listen to Super Switch Headz on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you enjoy podcasts.
