There's few things on this planet that make me happier than discovering a new NES game, and after literally YEARS of people telling me to play Bionic Commando, I finally fired it up and I'm stoked to say that's what happened this week. This game's pretty sick.

If you haven't played it, it's a standard sidescrolling shooter/platformer, but with one catch: no jumping. All your platforming is done with a grappling hook. It's a really ambitious concept with a learning curve to be sure, but for the most part I think it works great. Add in a map to explore, a story (kinda) and hitler's exploding head (seriously), and you have yourself a Commando that's Bionic, my friend.

My buddy David Rae makes his return to the show this week and we're finally talking the game he's been holding me to play since RTG started. We're getting into the map, the difficulty, the grappling hook adventures, and yes of course, killing Hitler. All par for the course when it comes to the NES.

And before we grapple I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week someone asks if RTG will ever join the video podcast ranks? What forgotten series needs a revival next? And am I planning to check out the Virtual Boy games on the Switch 2??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 NES Capcom games: Mighty Final Fight, Code Name: Viper, and Yo! Noid.
