The NES was such a special system for its time and still holds a place in our hearts, rightfully so! Today Josh and Tyler take a look back at the Nintendo created and published "black box" titles and discuss what we know, what we enjoy and what we dislike about them!

We heard the feedback and decided to do something about it! Mindies #2 discussion coming at you with 4 more great indie titles, Death's Gambit, A Short Hike, Deaths Door and Unsighted! This appears to be the death episode with a surprising amount of bird protagonists! Hope everyone enjoys!

Banter is the name of the game, Josh and Tyler take a look at the announced games coming out in 2023 (Or at least speculated 2023). Josh goes on a little bit of a rant on remakes and remasters and Tyler gushes about February being super stacked with releases! Come give us a listen and enjoy!

This is it! The first annual Bossie Awards! Announced by ToadieYPQ and Hosted by yours truly Josh and Tyler! 10 Categories are discussed and given out the exception Bossie Awards of excellence and we break into the new year!

We get a little rambly! This episodes discussion is on Remakes, Remasters and Ports throughout the years, How good some of them were, the benefits of them and reflect on the best of the best! Let us know some of your favorites over on Twitter or instagram!

Whoops we did this again! Early release to wrap up our discussion on mini-consoles. We discuss the libraries of the PS1 Classic and Sega Genesis Mini 1 and once again get a little carried away with the time!

Like the title says, this is part 1 of our look at the main line mini-consoles. Was intended to include the PS1 Classic and Genesis Mini 1 but things got a little in-depth! Part 2 will release next week!
