Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC/Xbox) and the JRPG Completion Pain 30.07.2024 54:50
This week, we talk about the most asinine requirements to "100%" a JRPG, and then we discuss one of our first CRPGs! Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live at: ...
Ghosthunter (PS2) and the Valkyria Chronicles 4 Review 23.07.2024 1:09:37
A game we watched on YouTube and a game I should have played 5 years ago headline today's podcast! It's a weird one! Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live at: ...
Mega Man: The Power Battle/Fighters (Arcade) and the Dong Doom 16.07.2024 1:05:40
This week, it's two games in one podcast, plus the version of Doom that nobody knew they wanted, and probably still don't want! Unless... Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed...
Radiant Silvergun (Saturn) and the Rockman Gold Empire 09.07.2024 1:01:51
Yes, we will eventually play Mega Man Zero. No, we will probably not play the Rockman-themed, Taiwan-exclusive Monopoly-like board game from 1999. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed li...
Mega Man 7 (SNES) and the Wi-Fi Eyeball 02.07.2024 1:06:28
The series playthrough continues! This week we try to quickly recap all the game shows we missed in weeks past and then talk about memories of Harvest Moon and bad Bond movie plot contrivances. Also, Mega Man 7 is not one of the bad ones. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https...
Mega Man X2 (SNES) and the Anime Trash Revue 25.06.2024 1:14:12
Remember, just because it's trash, doesn't mean it's bad. Except when it's both. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live at: twitch.tv/...
Super Mario Land (Game Boy) and the Manga "Final Arcs" 19.06.2024 1:07:59
When a mangaka says their series is entering its "final arc," does that mean it's a few months from over, or like 10 years? Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live at: ...
Quest for Camelot (GBC) and the Original Xbox Library 11.06.2024 1:09:47
TW's dumb sports game obsession, running down original Xbox games, and one of the worst games we've played in a while. Apologies for the music at the end, but that's honestly what the experience of playing this game was like. Why did Nintendo bother re-releasing this, seriously? Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Mega Man Soccer (SNES) and the WE ARE ROCKMAN Commercial 04.06.2024 1:12:26
Also, a console war retrospective, our grown-up perception of time, the Haikyuu movie, and Tom's unintended rap debut. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live at: ...
Bubble Ghost (Game Boy) and the Defense of Super Earth 28.05.2024 1:11:14
After weeks of talking about it, we finally decided to muster up the courage to be free. Also, here's a thing I didn't realize about this game until I was editing it - apparently Hitoshi Sakamoto did the music for this back in 1990, it was one of his first projects. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Mega Man V (Game Boy) and the Penny's Big Breakaway Bump 21.05.2024 1:06:37
We're back from a short break, did we miss much? Oh, basically every gaming company on the planet is trying to Ouroboros themselves out of existence? Cool. Coolcoolcool. Penny's Big Breakaway was good, and so was MMV, even though it's been a month since we played it. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Mega Man X (SNES) and the Nintendo Legal Backlog 07.05.2024 1:29:41
Nintendo sucks, why can't we quit it? Also, more spam emails, the legal ruling that may spawn more indie games, and just so much love for Mega Man X. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live at: ...
Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (SNES) and the Old Soda Habits 30.04.2024 1:09:49
Spiced Coke, Korean soda habits, and horny Rareware throughout this episode! I'm pretty sure that Battletoads is deeply overrated as a franchise. This is the one I played the most as a kid, way more than the NES one, and I remembered liking some parts of it, but that doesn't mean it's good.

Rocket Ranger (NES) and the Idle Game Confession 23.04.2024 1:10:03
TW makes Tom play another bad game for a silly reason and then tries to convince him it's kinda cool, actually. Tom, meanwhile, is playing Actual Good Game Baldur's Gate 3. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live...
Mega Man The Wily Wars (Genesis) and the GTA IV Physics 16.04.2024 1:05:41
Okay, we can't be the only ones, right? Lots of people have to remember that swing set. Probably more people than remember The Wily Wars. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live at: twitc...
Böbl (NES) and the Civilization VI Achievement List 09.04.2024 1:06:59
Everybody has that one game that just absorbs them for a couple weeks - or months - and they can't break out of it. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live at: twitch.tv/timewanderer ...
Mega Man 6 (NES) and the AI Girlfriend Research 02.04.2024 1:13:58
For the record, the answer to the question is no, I am not. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live at: twitch.tv/timewanderer TW on YouTube: ...
Mario Golf (Game Boy Color) and the Rapid Fire Topics 26.03.2024 1:11:34
What are we even talking about this week? Everything! Nothing! Volleyball, golf, video games, Nintendo discovering Newgrounds in 2024. It's a crazy week, please enjoy. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live at: ...
Mega Man IV (Game Boy) and the Helldivers 2 Mechs 19.03.2024 1:04:49
I'm not playing it yet, but I'm PERILOUSLY close to it. Also, the Mega Man march continues, and we both agree that while this Game Boy Mega Man is one of the best ones, we also are both very ready to be done with Game Boy Mega Man. One more to go. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG...
Kick Master (NES) and the Trouble With Switch Names 12.03.2024 1:24:16
It's a rapid-fire segment of games we're playing and not playing this week, including Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Persona 3 Reload, Unicorn Overlord, Monster Hunter Now, and of course, Kick Master. It gets kind of worse the more you play it. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG ...
Mega Man III (Game Boy) and the Super-On-Time Final Fantasy 7 Demo 05.03.2024 1:11:08
This podcast is super recent and recorded super on time. It is about things that are happening now and definitely not things from two weeks ago, like the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo and the Nintendo Partner direct. Also, we talk Akio Otsuka's singing voice and also literally why is Shun Akiyama like this? Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: ...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back From the Sewers (Game Boy) and the Hideo Kojima Human Loop 27.02.2024 1:05:17
Tom has a tendency to be extra forgiving to games that feature characters that he enjoys. Tom really, REALLY likes TMNT. Tom does not like this game. That's probably the harshest thing you can say about it. Also, Kojima? Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games s...
Trax (Game Boy) and the Flimsy Hammer Discovery 20.02.2024 51:54
Like a Dragon, Sea of Stars endgame, and a funny little ball tank. We can't say for sure, but this game MAY have invented a bunch of Kirby explosions and graphics. In fact, the tank itself is just a big circle... Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG Podcast games streamed live...
Mega Man 5 (NES) and the Dondoko Island Tycoon 13.02.2024 1:10:36
Breaking news: New Like a Dragon game has very good and expansive minigame that is more than it initially appears. Shocking, I know. Almost like this happens every time. Mega Man 5 is really, really good, by the way. Outstanding level and boss designs on display here. Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG ...
Mega Man II (Game Boy) and the #JustWilyThings 06.02.2024 1:11:54
In which Dr. Wily invents time travel in order to beat Mega Man and then uses it in the most nonsensical way imaginable and then does not, in fact, beat Mega Man. Also, The Fated Hour quests, Persona 3 thoughts, cursed images, and which game has the best jump? Send us mail! theretrobreakdown@gmail.com TW's Discord: https://discord.gg/dTrBruG ...
