Nintendo Archive Episode 37: Sin & Punishment 16.11.2022

The equivalent to a foreign film (for a foreign audience?), I have Sin & Punishment. Also, 007's The World Is Not Enough for review. Both were released on the N64, the console that I am currently centering my retrospective. I like one game, & don't much care for the other. Questions or comemnts can be sent to nalistenerq@gmail.com

Nintendo Archive Episode 36: Ocarina of Time (featuring Level 1 Sword Podcast's host) 16.11.2022

Nintendo Archive episode 34: DK64, Perfect Dark, Shantae 17.10.2022

An episode of ranting & raving. Unfortunately, my chair broke in the 3rd hour, & so there are some loud creaks from that point forth, as well as the intermittent meowing of a cat, faintly audible. The Shantae review begins at the 4-minute mark (or so), The Perfect Dark review starts a minute or so after the hour & 15-minute mark, & Dk64 kicks off at the 2-hour & 20-minute mark,...

Nintendo Archive episode 33: More Star Wars on the N64 REDUX 15.09.2022

Unfortunately, Audacity ate the original episode 33, so I threw this together quickly. First section is all about Battle for Naboo, Factor 5's follow up spin-off to rogue squadron, & the second covers Shadows of the Empire. Questions or comments can be sent to nalistenerq@gmail.com

Nintendo Archive episode 32: Rogue Squadron & Star Wars Racer 19.08.2022

This episode sees me reviewing two Star Wars classics, & also Warioland 2, I might also talk about other things too. Star Wars Rogue Squadron is a near-perfect distillation of the Star Wars property, and an exercise in procedural gameplay methodology; whereas Star Wars Episode 1 Racer represents the singular pursuit of SPEED! Unfortunately my chair was squeaker than I thought, & at several...

Nintendo Archive episode 31: Smash Bros 64 & Turok 31.07.2022

In addition to reviewing Smash Bros 64 & Turok dinosaur hunter, you can also enjoy reviews for Donkey kong Land 2 & Game & Watch Gallery. Comments & questions can be sent to nalistenerq@gmail.com.

Nintendo Archive episode 30: Banjo MANIA 26.07.2022

I'll be pithy with this episode's rundown: I review Molemania & Banjo Kazooie, and I also talk about the closure of Nintendo's legacy eshops, & the February direct. All counted, I had nice things to say, & some not-so-nice things as well. Hope you enjoy. Please email at nalistenerq@gmail.com

Nintendo Archive episode 29: Diddy Kong Racing 08.03.2022

I recorded this audio a while ago, but due to extensive editing & limited time, I have only now just finished producing this episode. Regardless I hope anyone listening enjoys it, as I discuss Diddy Kong Racing, & answer an email. Any questions or comments can be shot over to nalistenerq@gmail.com.

Star Fox 64 ( featuring Stephen from Level 1 Sword) 16.02.2022

This episode is all Star Fox! Considered Iconic by many, it was only fitting that I find an additional person to help me espouse the virtues of Star Fox 64. Stephen (from Level 1 Sword) & I rang as much as we could out of this N64 classic, but even so, I do not think we covered everything this game has to offer. So if you have anything to add on Star Fox 64, a question, or a topic you want dis...

Episode 27: 007 GoldenEye: Guest starring Nick & Josh (From the Loud Thumbs Podcast) 24.01.2022

In this episode, I got some much-needed help from Nick & Josh, of the Loud Thumbs podcast, with reviewing an N64 classic. Along with the review, the three of us talked about a litany of other games & topics. All in all, it was a big bag of fun, & is well worth the listen. However, due to a family member coming through the door with groceries, there are some unfortunate, door creaks, ba...

Episode 26: Dawn of a New Day 21.12.2021

As the title suggests the show is moving forward to new horizons, what does that mean? I don't know but it sounded nice. So tune in to see (hear) what is in store. As usual, all comments & questions are appreciated & can be sent to the email nalistenerq@gmail.com

25: Epic Mickey 18.11.2021

This episode marks the end of my voyage with the Nintendo Wii, at least for now (a lot of games left to talk). I enjoyed my time with the Wii, & I hope you who are listening enjoyed hearing me talk about it. For this final episode, I reviewed Epic Mickey before diving into a number of different topics & lists, all concerning the Wii console, as a final Ode to the System. The next episode w...

Episode 24: Super Mario Galaxy 29.10.2021

Talking about three games in this episode, 2 of them getting reviewed, all of them, Mario titles. The first review is for New Super Mario Bros Wii, & the second is for Super Mario Galaxy, with Super Mario 3D World acting as a buffer between the two in this episode's what I have been playing section "or casual chat" as I might now call it (still workshopping it). As always questions or comments...

Episode 23: Super Mario Galaxy 2 26.08.2021

An episode like all the rest. In the first section of the show, I delve into thoughts on Bioshock Infinite, & following that I go into a review of Super Mario Galaxy 2. My thoughts on it might be a deviation from the norm. Questions or comments can be sent nalistenerq@gmail.com.

Episode 22: Super Smash Bros Brawl 27.07.2021

Hello! This episode marks the debut of a new segment, "Games I weirdly hate, & for weird reasons too". I hope you, the listener, enjoy it. I also have a few games, that I have been playing with the nephews, to talk about; followed by a review of the game mentioned above. Questions or comments can be sent to nalistenerq@gmail.com. If you like the show, please leave a review on itunes.

Episode 21: Excitebots 09.07.2021

Episode 21 is a fairly typical episode, though with E3 having recently transpired, I felt compelled to do a segment; not one E3 itself, but an adjacent topic. Afterwards, is a breezy review of ExciteBots. I am actually getting pretty close to wrapping up this particular hardware retrospective, only having a few more games to discuss, but they are all biggies, so tune in if that sounds like your cu...

Episode 20: Having a Guest on; Twilight Princess 23.06.2021

Not contented with a 4 1/2 hour-long episode, I made this monster; I am very thankful that Stephen of Level Sword was so gracious as to stay for the whole thing. Twilight Princess was probably my favourite game growing up, & remains a metric by which I judge other games; needless to say, I was very happy to review it. Yet, despite the length, I do not believe Stephen & I covered everything...

Episode 20: Having a guest on; part 1: talking about the Wii 22.06.2021

This episode was so big, I split it into two, part two is close behind (just need to add all the music). For episode 20, I was happy to have Stephen, host of Level 1 Sword, join me for a general discussion on the Wii hardware. He was also kind of enough to stay for a 5 hour review discussion for Twilight Princess, which can be heard in Part two of this episode. Questions or comments can be sent to...

Episode 19: Wii Sports Resort 02.06.2021

In this episode, I briefly speak on the Nintendo Direct that happened in February, & I mean briefly. After which, I dive right into the crown jewel of Nintendo's casual titles. I hope you enjoy. If you feel the urge to contact me, the email address is nalistenerq@gmail.com.

Episode 18: Donkey Kong Country Returns 31.05.2021

This episode features a review on Donkey Kong Country Returns, Retro's second Lazarus project. I can't really think of anything else to say. If you have questions, comments, or life-changing insights, the email address is nalistenerq@gmail.com

Episode 17: Metroid Prime Corruption 29.05.2021

Apologies about the slow trickle, but now that school is done, I can edit the audio I have been sitting on. Aside from a review of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, I also give some thoughts on how games are reviewed. Hope whoever listens to this enjoys, & if you want to reach out, the email is nalistenerq@gmail.com.

Episode 16: Super Paper Mario 15.03.2021

Hello to anyone that is still listening after my long absence. This episode is standard fare, featuring a small comparison between two platformers with opposing strengths & weaknesses, and then a review of Super Paper Mario. If you really enjoy this game, I am sad to say that you may not find my review all that flattering. Even so, I hope you enjoy the episode, and my humble opinions therein,...
