WTFamicom: A Gaming Podcast

Scusi the interruption, paisonos! We're celebrating our monumental 30th episode in the least embarrassing way we can thing of by watching the MOST embarrassing thing Nintendo has ever produced - 1989's "The Super Mario Bros Super Show!". We discuss two episodes of the classic cartoon that taught us more about plumbing than we could have ever imagined. So strap yourself in, pile on that pasta and let's get that gabagool!

What hasn't been said about "The Legend of Zelda"? For 35 years, it continues to capture the hearts of anyone that ventures into the magical land of Hyrule to help Link save the princess, stop Ganon and save the world. Today, we pay homage to it by not paying homage to it. Instead we're celebrating Zelda Rubinstein, the actress from the 1982 film "Poltergeist".

A code so powerful and universal it transcended all of space and time as we knew it. In today's episode, we dissect the most famous video game cheat of all time - the Konami Code. I think now is as good a time as any to UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, START the revolution, don't you?

In our first new episode in four months, we talk about what we have been up to during our hiatus. What kind of video games did we play? Is it possible for someone to be an incel, simp, virgin and cuck all at once? Do Wario and Waluigi have the same private parts as us normal humans? All these questions are answered along with many other surpises. So in the wise words of our friend Solid Snake - "Kept you waiting, huh?"
