The Retro Breakdown

Dokapon Kingdom continues on a confluence of unusual events that end with hitting what amounts to a 20% critical hit and it's all TW's fault. At this point I don't even know if people care who wins as long as it's somebody.

Good. Dokapon is doing its job. Maybe it's over by now. Maybe not.

Like Zero Wing, Bad Dudes is best remembered for weird memes and that's for the best.

After a year, TW finally plays Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes and cannot stop gushing about it. Also, Yakuza 5 hunting, the awkward conclusion of the spiky hair bracket, and the best idea for an arcade game that will absolutely never, ever, ever happen.

Today's parents are introducing their kids to old video games the way parents used to try to get their kids into older music or movies - change my mind.

Related: The album name is Tubthumper. The song name is Tubthumping. I do not know why.

This is like a part 1 of this podcast, as it's impossible to discuss all of Oracle of Ages without having also played Oracle of Seasons, but I haven't played Seasons yet, so that and the linked content will be covered in a future podcast (probably later this month)!

Please enjoy as a deceptive mobile game with ads that are just lies offers a sponsorship and is turned down live during the recording!

Also, a Vince McMahon conspiracy theory that is factually inaccurate in several ways but still plausible, first thoughts on Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and a look into a second version of Rollergames (arcade) that is significantly worse than the main one, despite being visually impressive.

We discuss a random paperback book featuring fully broken-down strategies for beating the hottest video games of 1982.

Also, Gimmick is awesome and I can't believe I only just now played it. I also can't believe how many other people got paid for reviewing it without playing it at all.

It's time for a new week, a new game, and a new elimination bracket! We talk about Pikmin 4, the Zelda timeline and handheld Zelda games, and the weirdest possible way to play Crash Bandicoot.

Then it's Growl, a game that explodes like 400 times before you actually start playing it, and is basically average despite us spending almost the whole discussion talking about all the crazy stuff we liked about it.

It's shameless promotion time as TW has a sponsored stream for Lofty Sky Games! On August 8th at 7:00 PM EDT and August 10th at 8:00 PM EDT, he'll be checking out Shuyan Saga and Sky of Tides!

Also, the end of the bracket challenge!

Also, Kirby is a thing. It's not terrible but its novelty is unfortunately the best thing it has going for it.

Tom and I have a lot to catch up on, so this podcast is a big one! Elevation sickness, Fire Emblem Engage, Tears of the Kingdom, bad hotel TVs, and Back to the Future are all on the docket this week!

Oh, and intellectual property licensing rights to popular comic book characters. For no real reason. Don't worry about it.
