The brothers are back! This week, we're playing two of the premier games for the Wii U: the side scrolling throwback NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. U and it's standalone spin-off NEW SUPER LUIGI U! We're gonna dive deep into some of Mario's most successful and beloved games of all time, plus take a look back at that most iconic of times, the Year of Luigi! This episode earns a full Steve-chievement.

This week, we're busting out a couple more minigame collections, with a couple of revitalized classics in the mix. WII SPORTS CLUB is an HD remake of the original pack-in game WII SPORTS, which had the benefit of online play but the detriment of an odd release model. RABBIDS LAND sees the RAYMAN enemies taking the limelight with a MARIO PARTY-style minigame collection that actually makes some pretty clever use of the GamePad!

Next week's episode: New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U 

This week, our top-tier Patreon supporter CJ Baker returns to talk about the excellent 2017 remake WONDER BOY: THE DRAGON'S TRAP! The WONDER BOY series was the flagship franchise of the Sega Master System, and despite never being a bit hit in the U.S., it has grown a huge following around the world. We look back at the fractured history of the series as it went from simple arcade platformer to innovative open-world action RPG, and look towards the future as we chart the surprisingly successful recent reboot of the series!

Can you dig it? This week, we're playing two hit indie games that center all around the moving of dirt! Firstly, we're playing TERRARIA, a 2D MINECRAFT clone that is one of the 10 best-selling games of all time! Then, we're playing STEAMWORLD COLLECTION, a compilation of two games, STEAMWORLD DIG and STEAMWORLD HEIST, that might just become your new small-scale favorites.

Next week's episode: Wii Sports Club / Rabbids Land 

We've played a lot of LEGO games on this series, and today we're fitting the final bricks into place! Neal Crow returns to the show to help us talk about a random roundup of LEGO games. First, we're playing the fast and funny cop comedy LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER. Then, we're playing three movie adaptations, one based on Peter Jackson's THE HOBBIT trilogy, another based on STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, and finally we're closing it out in-house with the adaptation of THE LEGO MOVIE!

This week, we're embracing our inner hackermen as we play Ubisoft's ambitious, expensive spectacle WATCH DOGS. This open-world game lets you take control of the city of Chicago from your smart phone, allowing you to hack everything from ATMs to security cameras to traffic lights. There's an impressive amount of game here, but does this high-profile event game hold up nearly a decade later?

Next week's episode: Watch Dogs 

This week we're gathering up a few odd little games that don't quite fit in anywhere else, but darn it they'll always have a home with us! First, we're playing the bare-bones arcade port TANK! TANK! TANK!, which promises three times the tanks of the average game. Then, we're playing RUNBOW, a fast-paced, stylish platformer/racer which supports up to nine players for wild local multiplayer. Finally, we're talking about TUMBLESTONE, a small but addictive indie match-3 puzzle game.

The MONSTER HUNTER games are some of the most popular in the world, but the learning curve can be intimidating for new players. Luckily, we've brought in a ringer to help us explain the many working pieces of hunting monsters! Garrit Manker from the Co-Hops podcast comes by to help us parse through the complex and beautiful world of Capcom's multiplayer RPG, in all it's bone-busting, cat-befriending, egg-waddling splendor!
