In this special 2025 wrap-up episode of Retro Resurrections, Chase and Laura look back at every game they covered this year and rank them from top to bottom. From the nostalgia and emotion of Kingdom Hearts, to the sprawling chaos of Oblivion, spooky fun in Luigi’s Mansion, and two classic journeys through Castlevania, they revisit the highs, lows, and surprises of the year. Expect hot takes, debates, and a final verdict on which retro games truly stood the test of time.

This week on Retro Resurrections, Chase and Laura return from the Portland Retro Gaming Expo with way too many stories and possibly too many games (if that’s even a thing). We met CHARLES MARTINET — yes, the “Wahoo!” guy himself — plus the voices of Toad and Peach, and somehow managed not to pass out from pure Nintendo fangirl/fanboy energy.

Between awkward celebrity encounters, accidental game hauls, and moments of “Wait… did we really need to buy this?”, we’re unpacking it all. If you love retro games, chaotic con adventures, or listening to two friends justify their questionable spending habits, this episode is for you.

Press start, grab a snack, and let’s resurrect some retro together.

Step into the year 2035 and the gothic future of gaming history as we resurrect one of the greatest handheld classics of all time — Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. In this episode, we dive deep into how Konami reinvented the series for the Game Boy Advance, merging tight Metroidvania exploration with a bold new setting, unforgettable music, and the soul-stealing powers of Soma Cruz.

We’ll break down its gameplay innovations, the surprising lore connections to the Belmont bloodline, and why Aria of Sorrow still stands as a high point in Castlevania’s legacy. Whether you’re a longtime vampire hunter or new to Dracula’s curse, this episode is your portal to one of the most stylish, story-rich entries in retro gaming history.

🩸 Grab your soul crystals — it’s time to resurrect Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow!

In this episode of Retro Resurrections, we're diving deep into one of the most overlooked entries in the Castlevania franchise — Castlevania Legends for the Game Boy. Released in 1997, this prequel to the entire series stars Sonia Belmont, a character shrouded in mystery and controversially erased from the official timeline.

Join us as we explore the history behind the game’s development, the unique gameplay elements that set it apart from other Castlevania titles, and why it remains a cult favorite among fans despite its limitations. From the pixelated corridors of Dracula's castle to the haunting chiptune soundtrack, we’re resurrecting this forgotten relic to see if it still has bite in 2025.

Is Castlevania Legends an underrated gem or a relic best left in the crypt? Tune in and find out!

In this episode of Final Fantasy Phoenix Downed, hosts Chase and Laura grab their tomes and broadswords to take on the black sheep of the early Final Fantasy family—Final Fantasy II. From keyword systems to stat-grinding scars, they explore how this bold sequel flipped the formula and laid the groundwork for future greatness (and headaches). Expect laughs, lore, and a little chaos as they continue their epic quest to play every Final Fantasy title and spin-off—no matter how obscure. Whether you're here for the nostalgia or just trying to figure out why Guy talks to beavers, you're in the right party.

Join Chase and Laura as they dive deep into the world of Resident Evil 5, unlocking nostalgia, survival horror thrills, and unexpected laughs. From the dusty streets of Kijuju to the high-octane action against Majini, this podcast resurrects the game’s iconic moments chapter by chapter. Along the way, they’ll:

• Share first-time reactions and veteran insights as they tackle each encounter and boss fight.

• Explore game design choices, story beats, and the controversial themes that defined the RE5 experience.

• Revisit memorable co‑op moments, including teamwork triumphs and epic fails.

• Debate favorite weapons, strategies, and characters, from Chris Redfield to Sheva Alomar.
