With the Mega Man and Mega Man II episode delayed, I restored a lost Side-Smash Episode where I sat down with Joseph Vuke to talk about our wishlist for Smash 6. This episode was a ton of fun and I'm glad I was able to get it to listenable condition given some technical difficulties. It's late but it's here. Enjoy!
