APRIL FOO- (beer cascades out of the roof in a long shot of the Simpson's house)

Did you really believe that Minty would have returned to and, gasp, ENJOYED, Sticker Star, his previously professed least favourite Paper Mario entry?

Did Jonathan and Chris' respective digital purchases on the eShop and App Store of Grasshopper Derby and Seagull Officer really sound plausible?

Did Jonathan's Ancient Kingdom II: The Fire of Old Legends (it spells 'FOOLs' for gawd's sake!) sound too good to be true with its layered systems, ludicrous sidequests, and PC bound limited modern accessibility?

Did the anarchic spirit of the genuinely real (honestly! look it up!) Don't Sh*t Your Pants ring any alarm bells given Minty's usual penchant for sprawling adventure games and RPGs?

Did the weird spelling of Chequy alert you to the fact that Chris' 16-bit hidden gem was actually hidden to the point of non-existence?

Is self isolation really getting to us all that much?

Hope you all enjoyed this silly little aside! Regular programming will resume next week!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is finally here and we've made the corporate decision to BREAK RANK and record a bonus episode right here and right now.

Animal Crossing is a series that has grown exponentially since its early release on the GameCube and then the DS, Wii, 3DS and arrives now on the Nintendo Switch in the midst of a global pandemic.

Does New Horizons stand up against its franchise forebears? (yes)

Does New Horizons prove that the commentariat who willed Animal Crossing to go free to play were wrong, wrong, wrong? (yes)

Will Minty, an Animal Crossing newbie, enjoy the plaintive pacing of Nintendo's life sim as much as Chris and Jonathan, the series stalwarts? (yes)

All this and MORE in this bonus episode!

Hey, hey, kids!

Have you ever played Final Fantasy VII, Parodius: The Fantastic Journey or Luigi's Mansion 2?

If so, listen in and see what we thought of the games you may have loved or loathed. And if not so, maybe we can talk you into giving them a blast?

We three cents place hands firmly on our hearts and suggest that this generation defining RPG, this cutesy, parody shoot 'em up, and this.. hoover simulator (?) are all very, very worthy of your time.

Also this week: Jonathan finishes Outer Wilds, Minty doesn't finish Tales of Vesperia, and Chris gets someone else to finish Limbo.

Another episode? A whole one?

Fair enough.

Is Minty still playing that Tales game? Is Jonathan likely to beat the 400 hour long Witcher 3 before Animal Crossing: New Horizons releases? Can Chris contain his excitement at winning his first Tetris Invictus Maximus?

Then the rankings. Ohhhh, the rankings.

Three games that we felt were very good. Three games that we felt were SO very good, that we took the time to talk them up within the very podcast you hold digitally in your hand.

The sumptuously narrated space-Western, Bastion.
The gorgeous, expansive collectathon masquerading as an action RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles X.
...and Sonic R? We love games and we love you.

(please wash your hands and take care of one another)

As the weekend crumbles to dust, sweep away the Monday blues and listen as the boys tell meandering stories about their 48th favourite video games of ALL. TIME.

TUROK 2 and its BULLETS and GUNS FIREWATCH and its WALKIE TALKIES WONDER BOY 3 and its TRANSFORMATIONS

…but before we do that, perhaps you'll appreciate the long awaited return of the quiz pun? Or enjoy mulling over the thought of Ralph Fiennes hypothetically voicing the mammalian face of capitalism? Or share in Jonathan's disappointment in the relative calorific deficit of Level-5's Snack World, Chris's off-hand lamentations on The Simpson's gradual decline, or Minty's travel log through the impossibly named factions and cities of Tales of Vesperia? PLUS: Chris does a -LOT- of laughing.

Come and have fun with us.

Our very own menthol man details how Nintendo hits it out of the park with their 'coolest' racer F-Zero GX. Our host extroadinaire revisits the gloom of Thief's grubby dark-age world in Deadly Shadows. That hairy bloke talks about Arsenal Football Club and its weird connection to Sonic Team's online experiment Phantasy Star Online.

Listen for Chris' thoughts on the Open Source Scanline Converter, Jonathan's thoughts on breaking the back of flagellation simulation Blasphemous, and Minty's thoughts on a selection of eShop demos.

PLUS:
Where are we plonking our virtual homes? Are Minty's valiant efforts to fight a four point quiz defecit in vain? Why is Chris so shit at turn-based combat? How's Jonathan getting on in S N A C K W O R L D? Why are the boys going to Butlins in Bognor Regis?
