Alleyway (Game Boy) and the Lazy Breakout 09.12.2025 44:16
It's Breakout but if you put absolutely no effort into doing anything interesting or unique at all. Ironically, this leads us into a whole discussion about how lazy game design was totally okay in 1989 because the unique thing about it was just the fact that you could play it on the go at all.

Chibi-Robo! (GC) and the Black Friday Work Stories 25.11.2025 1:25:48
Before playing this game, the only thing I knew about it was "Divorce." After playing this game, that may actually still be the only thing I remember. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Mega Man Zero 4 (GBA) and the Kojima AI Friends 18.11.2025 1:17:54
"I don't want to use AI, I just want it to be a friend that does my work for me, like a co-creator." My Brother in Christ, that is WHAT USING AI IS. Have we learned NOTHING from Metal Gear Solid 2? Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com ...
Mario's Picross (Game Boy) and the King's Field 04.11.2025 53:36
We played a bunch of different things for small amounts of time this week, so let's talk about Picross, random New York Times puzzles, King's Field, and a bunch of other things? Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
The Adventures of Batman and Robin (Genesis) and the Clockwork Tortoise 28.10.2025 47:43
One of the most impressive games on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive could have been one of the best of all time with the power of a good project manager or producer. Alas, we'll settle for "really impressive and flawed in easily-fixable ways." Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com...
D2 (Dreamcast) and the Hundred Line Second Playthrough 21.10.2025 1:29:25
There's so much to unpack here we had to come back and add another 20 minutes after we thought we were done. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Mega Man X8 (PS2) and the Mavericks at Will 16.10.2025 59:40
THAT IS LITERALLY THE WHOLE POINT OF A MAVERICK (Reupload) Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG...
Drake of the 99 Dragons (Xbox) and the Blue Prince Spoilercast 07.10.2025 53:48
I haven't played a game with this much edge since my last playthrough of Catherine. Also, I am absolutely going to spoil the ending of Blue Prince, so be warned if that's something you would like to avoid. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW'...
No One Can Stop Mr. Domino (PS1) and the Collection Culling 23.09.2025 1:04:58
I'm getting rid of a chunk of my retro games collection, and with the money I make from it, maybe I'll buy more games like this. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Mega Man Zero 3 (GBA) and the Ripple Island Sequel 16.09.2025 40:16
Zero and Ciel and Doctor Weil live in a society. Which is not the same as our society, the one where somebody decided we needed an Overcooked clone based on Ripple Island. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Landstalker (Genesis) and the Slow Walk Taunt 02.09.2025 59:21
Invisible platforms! Vapid princesses! Sassy fairy companions! Casinos in the town well! Unhinged puzzle solutions! Childish taunts from your antagonist! Fun? Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Brawl Brothers (SNES) and the Termination Time 26.08.2025 42:19
After five years, we finally decide to play another Rushing Beat game, and since we started with the third one, why not continue in reverse chronological order, right? Classic case here of a game with all the right ideas and just all the wrong thoughts on implementation. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com...
Snake Rattle & Roll (NES) and the Ice Slope Foot Licking 19.08.2025 39:23
Rare has this thing where we keep going into their games expecting to be underwhelmed or even trash it, but then we end up glazing them because the game is a marvel of engineering even if it is obscenely difficult and player-hostile for no good reason. Despite my best efforts, this is another one of those times. Send us mail! theretrobre...
Mega Man X7 (PS2) and the European Normal 12.08.2025 59:42
This game is basically the whole reason we started playing Mega Man games in the first place. We're finally here. Feels like an important milestone. Also. Burn. Burn. Burn to the ground. HOOOO! Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Mega Man Zero 2 (GBA) and the Zero Babies 09.08.2025 58:46
A dive into the Mega Man Zero plotline reveals that Zero has hundreds of children that he eats for power. Everyone he knows encourages this. The game tells you how messed up that is and then insists you do it anyway. Game's good, tho Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com ...
R.C. Pro-Am (NES) and the Ubisoft Whining 29.07.2025 1:12:17
Remember kids, when you criticize Ubisoft for sexually assaulting women in the workplace and systematically covering it up for years, it makes their games worse somehow. Ubisoft is the real victim here. It definitely isn't because they've been remaking the same game with different coats of paint for the last 15 years and trying to pretend they're trailblazers. Anyway, we miss classic R...
Kirby's Star Stacker (Game Boy) and the Animal Friend Punishment 22.07.2025 35:35
As we have established, Kirby is an eldritch being with powers beyond human ken. For a creature containing the power of entire galaxies as playthings, these pitiful creatures known as Coo, Kine, and Rick are beneath his notice. They will explode when they must to serve the pink lord's will and provide him with the entertainment he desires. There will be more animal friends. Always more. More t...
Sonic the Hedgehog (Game Gear) and the Lost Podcast 08.07.2025 56:10
Featuring 5 minutes of talking about E-SWAT, leftover from the podcast that got corrupted last week. It's okay, that's the exact right amount of time to talk about that. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team (GBA) and the Dumb European Purchases 24.06.2025 1:22:25
When you realize that you both are the type of person to go to exotic locations and just buy Nintendo stuff instead of actual souvenirs. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://dis...
Mega Man Zero (GBA) and the Pirate Copy of X 10.06.2025 57:29
Evidently, the key to making a good Mega Man game in the 21st century is to not let Capcom make it. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG...
Aerobiz (SNES) and the Final Fantasy Spirits Within 03.06.2025 58:04
Technically three more games on tap today as we played all three Aerobiz games, but they're all similar enough to be talked about in one podcast. Thanks for all the weird stuff, Koei. Sorry I'm 30 years late finding it. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Ripple Island (Famicom) and the Memorable Music Runback 27.05.2025 45:45
It's game 3/3 in the Sunsoft collection, and this one, while jank in some ways you might expect out of a 1980's point-and-click adventure game on a console, is actually pretty charming when it's not asking you to find invisible items! Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discor...
The Wing of Madoola (Famicom) and the Firework Thrower Kantarou 20.05.2025 45:19
It's two games in one on this week's podcast, where we take on 2/3 of the Sunsoft is Back! Collection. These are definitely some of the games of all time. There's some potential, but... also a lot of no. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Mega Man X6 and the Capcom Rough Patch 06.05.2025 52:42
Why. Why is it like this. There is no reason for it to be like this. It's like they wanted to make it exactly the same as Mega Man X5 but worse in every possible way. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Donkey Kong Land 2 (Game Boy) and the Crappy Mail 29.04.2025 1:16:06
There's a lot going on this week, but there's always time for Stickerbrush Symphony. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG...
