We wrap up this season with part one of our first trilogy. We lost John to scheduling but instead we are joined by Micheal and Justin from 2 Dudes and a Nes, to discuss Warios Woods, the final licensed NES game and the last one covered in NP.  We will continue the coverage of the issue in the next issue with John.

Hi all, to fill up the week prior to our season finale, we have a short episode that involves us watching and riffing on the promotional VHS tape that was sent out to Nintendo Power subscribers in November of 1994.  You might call it "MSTDK".  Enjoy.

Batman returns, and so does the Taste Test, during the last week of the season before our final issue of 1994!

We talk about the cinematic brawler that best be describe as the Final Fight of the Dark Knight, and not everyone made it to the end of this game, even with the saving grace of emulators. Enjoy!
