Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris tackle Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros - Visions of Power for the letter W in the Alphabet Soup-er Series. Does this oddball game cap off the Wizards & Warriors series in style, or is it more “interesting” than “good”? In Week Old News, a Battletoads secret is at long last uncovered, the SAG AFTRA strike is finally officially over, and GameStop...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris open the SAG BAG to answer your burning questions. Once again, many had very little to do with video games, and a lot to do with Dan’s sex life. Great job, everyone! In Week Old News, we discover a 1981 reference in Donkey Kong Bananza, Chuck E. Cheese goes after adults, and OneXSugar is super weird. Oh, and Microsoft laid off a metric ton of people...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you yet another lackluster 10 20 30 40. There were a few standouts, like Psychonauts for PS2 and Street Fighter Alpha making its arcade debut, but all in all, it’s pretty meh. In Week Old News, the Street Fighter movie gets some questionable casting choices, the Amico crew still insists the console is coming out someday, Mario Kart World gets a...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris spend an absurd amount of time ranking every Mario Kart character, because it’s almost his birthday, and why not? How does Dan feel about all these new Mario Kart characters? Can anything beat Donkey Kong? Let’s find out In Week Old News, Donut Dodo is getting a sequel, Switch 2 is off to a great start, Atari's Adventure is making a comeback, and mor...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris try their darndest AGAIN to recap the a literal eternity of trailers presented in the various summer showcases that hit this past week, from PC Gaming Showcase, to the ambitious Xbox Games Showcase, to whatever the heck Devolver Digital’s presentation was this year, and beyond. Then, in The Checkpoint, Kris gets really heated about internet rage cult...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris try their darndest to recap the over 12 hours of trailers presented in the various summer showcases that hit this past week, from the Horror Game Awards Summer Showcase to a surprisingly outstanding State of Play, Summer Games Fest, and more. Did they lose their minds wading through these things? Were the likes of Scott Pilgrim, Ninja Gaiden Rageboun...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris board the SAG Cartoon Express to check in with a classic episode of Pac-Man. How will he handle the disappearance of his power pellet forest? What does the villain have to do with Manos: The Hands of Fate? Will we finally learn Ms. Pac-Man’s real name??? The answers to these burning questions and more will be answered!    Then, in Week Old News, EA C...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you a very weird 10 20 30 40. There’s a metric ton of mediocrity, the launch of the Sega Saturn, and a month of literally no new video game releases? That can’t be right, can it? Then, in Week Old News, someone made Minecraft in Mario 64, Playtonic gets hit with layoffs, a set of new Ditto plush gets creepy, and more! Finally, in The Checkpoint...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris get caught up in the Switch 2 update-mania and discuss every single Nintendo-published Switch game to see what they think will happen to them on Switch 2.

Then, in Week Old News, Fatal Fury isn’t doing so well, D...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris finally catch up on the Alphabet Soup-er Series. It was Dan’s pick for the letter V, and he went with the GameCube classic Viewtiful Joe. How does this movie themed action game stand the test of time? What does HMD stand for? Why does Joe look like nerdy Fred Durst? Let’s find out! Then, in Week Old News, Nintendo gets unsurprisingly litigious, Ecco...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris board the Cartoon Express for a very strange episode of Mortal Kombat: Guardian of the Realms. This cartoon was surprisingly watchable in comparison to a handful of other things they’ve watched, but was it good enough to take the top spot for the year? Why the heck is Ron Perlman voicing Stryker? Why the heck is Stryker in this show in the first plac...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dana nd Kris tackle a very interesting 10 20 30 40. PS2 once again had a killer month, but could the Xbox finally claim a victory? Also, Mortal Kombat 3 and Paperboy hit arcades, The Sega CD has a surprisingly solid month, the GameCube has one of its worst months ever, and more! . Then, in Week Old News, Outrun and Split/Fiction are the next games to get movie ad...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Kris was feeling a bit under the weather, so they delayed talking about Viewtiful Joe in favor of doing something easier. Except that ranking every Nintendo franchise that’s not on Switch is WAY HARDER than talking about Viewtiful Joe! So yeah, buckle up for that marathon of nonsense. Then, in Week Old News, Nintendo finally opens pre-orders for Switch 2 in North...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris board the SAG Cartoon Express for another dose of Double Dragon. After last year’s Virtual Reality episode, the expectations are high. But was that a bad idea? Is this show actually hot garbage? Probably, but the only way to find out for sure is to listen on! Then, in Week Old News, Nintendo’s messaging around the Switch 2 continues to cost them ever...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris dissect the two Nintendo Directs we just had. First, the super weird Nintendo Switch Direct, featuring some fantastic surprises like Rhythm Heaven and Marvel Invasion, among others. It was an odd choice to drop this Direct so close to the Switch 2 one, but it was a pleasant surprise. Then, the big one. The Switch 2 Direct. They break down everything...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris make up for their criminally short episode last week with news of Dan's cancer-free status! Also, the latest Marvel casting news, and oh yeah, one heck of a 10 20 30 40! This month marked the release of the PSP AND the original God of War for PS2. There were some other killer releases, too, but Sony once again dominated the charts. In Week Old News,...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you possibly the shortest numbered episode of the podcast ever. Dan had his surgery a few days ago, and he just isn’t up to doing all that much talking. But the scheduled 10 20 30 40 was too chock full of PlayStation to NOT have Dan talk about it, so they just did a quick recap of their weeks, and called it a night. Hopefully service will retur...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris dive into the SAG BAG! You asked questions, and they tried their best to answer them. All of them. No matter how bizarre. Honestly, there were some really great questions, and they had a lot of fun answering them. Then, in Week Old News, Super NES consoles are getting faster for some reason, Katamari Damacy returns on Apple Arcade, Mortal Kombat Nitr...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you this month’s Alphabet Soup-er Series! It was Kris’s pick for the letter U and he went with UN Squadron for Super NES. This classic Capcom shoot em up was quite different from its arcade counterpart, and is often cited as one of the best Super NES games around. Does it live up to its reputation? Let’s find out! Then, in Week Old News, Activi...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris hop aboard the cartoon express for another classic episode of Mega Man. This one is Bot Transfer, an episode about Mega man and Snake Man switching bodies. It’s got terrible evil plots, spacious airplanes, very large hotel doors, and some “memorable” one-liners. How does it stack up to Zelda and Darkstalkes? Let’s find out! In Week Old News, a Retro-...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the February 10 20 30 40 for 2025, and it’s a doozie. Some truly barren release schedules are saved by some fun mispronunciations on Kris’s part, as well as some genuinely great months for some handhelds, and the end days of the 16-bit console wars. Just how bad did things get during the US video game crash? Let’s find out! In Week Old News...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan’s pick for the Alphabet Soup-er Series was Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, a game that Kris has surprisingly never played. How does it hold up? Is the game as good as its soundtrack? How many dumb skateboarding terms can Kris conjure to make it sound like he know what he’s talking about? Let’s find out! Then, in Week Old News, Sony hit us with a rather impressive S...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris ride the Cartoon Express all the way to Capcom’s Darkstalkers! And guess what! It was wretched! How anyone was able to take Capcom’s awesome character designs and turn them into something this awful is beyond us. But what was the worst offender? What’s the next stop on the express? Let’s find out! At the top of the show, Dan continued to struggle to...

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the first 10 20 30 40 of the year, and it’s, well, kind of underwhelming. There were a few massive games, to be sure, as well as some acknowledgements of platforms they (Kris) failed to cover last year, but all in all, January was kinda bland. But you should enjoy it anyway! At the top of the show, it was another week of not too many games...
