The Gaming Backlog "Book Club" episodes

  • Collab 1.1 Transmissions from the Lylat System

    Andrew from The Gaming Backlog "Book Club” joined Jaymo from The Old SwitchAroo in the skies and stars of the Star Fox Remake’s online Battle Mode across all 6 maps, tested out the AR GameChat functionality of the Nintendo Switch 2, and chatted about the Star Fox franchise overall, including their experiences with Star Fox 64 and this new version. They even created a Battle Mode map tier list.

    Watch the video feed of the battles at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og2xtqRpBbc. Between getting over a cold and audio capture and compression issues, voices may be a bit fuzzy at times, so the video version is the best option.

About The Gaming Backlog "Book Club"

From the publisher's feed

There are so many great new video games released each year and gamers are pulled in so many different directions by the abundance of options, but have significantly less time to play than ever before, between work, other entertainment, other activities and life in general. This has led most gamers to build up some degree of a backlog of games and the need to then decide which game to start next. Rather than staring at your library of available games, join Alex and Andrew as they lead conversation around a single video game at a time, following a traditional "book club" format and chatting each week about the most recent chapter or section.
