VideoDestruct Podcast

The NES is a well known system amongst the retro gamer elites but there are always small not-well-known gems hidden in every Video Game Console so we take this week to talk about some of these hidden gems from the original Nintendo Entertainment System. 

We Also Discuss: 

Hoss and Brandon are back to talk about the absolute STATE of the Video Game Industry after the slew of bad decisions by Sony and Microsoft, the massive amounts of layoffs and the stagnant, continuous CRASH of the major Video Game Industry. It's brutal and sucks to talk about but it's literally the state of the industry right now. So jump on board!

This week Hoss got his hands on the PC Demo for Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake and he has some thoughts on that particular PC port. But that got us thinking about this particular horror game franchise and if it would be worth diving back into these wells for a brand new experience in the series. What would that look like and what would it take to kick this IP up a notch to compete with gaming today?
