The SNES Podcast

In this episode Greg and George look at another Japanese only game -- Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Denetsu!  This RPG game takes a lot from the DBZ cartoon and follows many of the same characters and tropes as you go through this unique game.  A card battle system and a high degree of difficulty make this a much different RPG then you may have played.  We talk about the game and a little about the DBZ franchise, how the game plays, and if it's worth playing.  Any questions, comments, etc. can be left on our FB page or e-mailed to [email protected] and as always thanks for your support!  We also have a Patreon at www.patreon.com/thesnespodcast

In this episode Greg and George look at the run and gun action game Cybernator!  Published by Konami in the west but not developed by them, this game has some similarities with Front Mission due to sharing a lead designer, and is a overlooked and very fun (but very hard) game.  Listen to us talk about it in this episode and how it plays and if it holds up today.  Any questions, comments, etc. can be left on our FB page or e-mailed to [email protected] and as always thanks for your support!  We also have a Patreon at www.patreon.com/thesnespodcast

In our first episode of 2019, George and Greg look at one of the most unique games on the system -- Firestriker!  Developed and published by small companies, this highly unique game did not get a lot of press or copies made but combined elements of pinball, Breakout, and Zelda into a very interesting and challenging one to four player game.  So does it hold up and is it fun?  Tune in to find out!  If you have any questions, comments, feedback, etc. please leave them on our Facebook page or send a message to [email protected] and as always thanks for your support!

In this episode Greg and George cover a well done port of a popular classic computer game -- Out Of This World! Also known as Another World in Europe, this was a often requested game by listeners and for good reason.  It's a fun, unique, challenging adventure game that uses rotoscope graphics and minimal story, instead you figure things out as you go along.  We cover the details of the port, the gameplay, and how it holds up.  Any questions, comments, etc. can be left on our FB page or e-mailed to the [email protected] account.  As always thanks for your support!

In this episode Greg and George look at an obscure and unique RPG with strategic battles by Koei -- Inindo: Way of the Ninja!  Part of the long running Nobunaga's Ambition franchise, this game uses some alternative history where Nobunaga did not die in 1582 but instead continued his campaign to conquer all of Japan.  You play a young ninja whose clan was destroyed by Nobunaga, and you must train up and gather experience and learn your ninja arts, then use diplomacy to get other rulers to attack and weaken Nobunaga so you can storm his castle to get your revenge!  We discuss what makes this game unique and all the many aspects of it's gameplay, why the game is so difficult, and how it holds up today.  Any questions, comments, suggestions, etc can be left on our FB page or e-mailed to the [email protected] and as always thanks for your support!

In this episode Greg and George re-visit a game that Greg covered by himself way back in Episode 20 -- the overlooked and hidden gem Uncharted Waters!  We also look at the game that came before it, New Horizons.  Another franchise that has been much more popular in Japan compared to the west, these Koei games have you doing a little bit of everything -- adventure, RPG, sailing, tactical ship battles, one on one duels, card games, trading, exploring, and resource management.  We look at the games graphics, soundtracks, what you can do in the games, and how they hold up today.  Any questions, comments, etc. can be left on our FB page or e-mailed to [email protected] and as always thanks for your support!
