Episode 8 brings us to the mobile space for the first time on Gamers on the Go, but thankfully, we have video game blogger and pakour aficionado, Corey Motley to help us through. Find out what platform Infinity Blade was originally going to be developed for, what ridiculous Swedish instrument features prominently in the soundtrack and whatever happened to that million dollars someone was supposed to win from Advent Rising.

Host of This Podcast Contains Spoilers and Gamesbeat Staff Writer Evan Killham sits down to reflect over the whole of the Professor Layton series (at least, the ones that are out and in English.) Learn what Professor Layton and Indiana Jones have in common, hear Evan’s incredible plausible theory on hint coins and come to find out that the blanket answer to everything is “they were tripping balls.”

Fellow World 8 Podcast host Bryan Edelman joins Chase in an episode that originally focuses on Mega Man V for the Game Boy, but quickly devolves into general Mega Man-themed tangents. Hear the infamous “slide v. dash” debate, find out what ever happened to the co-creators of Mega Man (it’s not just Inafune,) and come to learn that there’s more than one Mega Man animated series.

Chase goes solo for this one, enlightening you on the best game of the Game Boy Advance's launch lineup (sorry Rayman Advance and Super Mario Advance fans.) Hear what other handheld games were made with the THPS2 engine, how terrible the Game Boy Color Hawk games were and a weird coincidence between Chase and the franchise.

Guest Tyler Frahm and I take a trip all the way to Pop Star for the fourth episode of Gamers on the Go to discuss and debate a pair of Game Boy hits: Kirby’s Dream Land and Kirby’s Dream Land 2. Hear how Nintendo thoroughly botched Kirby’s debut, what’s Kirby’s official height and how Dream Land 2 is superior to Dream Land in every single possible way, save one. Plus, be sure to read all the show notes at the bottom of this post for a gaggle of other information referenced or left out of the show.

Episode 3 is all about the pair of portable puzzlers from developer Q Entertainment. AJ Hurst from the World 8 Podcast joins me to discuss Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s thought process behind each of the games and we learn exactly what the TV show 24 had to do with the inspiration for one of his games.

In Episode 2 of Gamers on the Go, I sit down with the lovely and talented Caitlin Ward to detail both The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (or the Oracle Series for short.) We discuss how a remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System Legend of Zelda evolved into two wholly original games for the Game Boy Color, what bosses and weapons liked the most and even throw in a small contest in which two lucky listeners will get free download codes for the PC game Magicka!

I figured there was no better place to begin a podcast on handheld gaming than with the iconic Super Mario Land for the Game Boy. Host of the Shuffled podcast, Matt Giguere, was kind enough to discuss it with me.
