We test it out on the replica stand, which arrived a day before Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics was released.
Even the VR mode of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is positioned specifically to compensate for how the Switch 2 is seated in the Virtual Boy goggles. But does it really work?
We also show you how to download Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics from the Japanese eShop!
Jade takes on a job from Mr. De Castellac to bring back photographic proof of DomZ monters on Hillys. It's probably a trap.
Last time we fixed up the hopper and repelled not one but two DomZ invasions, but a gal's work is never done. We gotta get after that cheddar, and Mr. De Castellac is paying. Well, at least he's offering to pay. Pey'j had a very creative way to, uh, "fly" up a broken ladder, but we're going to have to find another way in to get our proof, and get that moola.
A friend of the show passed away last November. She made games that shaped our childhoods, and graciously offered her time for an interview and cameo for one of our videos reviewing her work on Out of This World.
Sean and Vinnk pay tribute to Rebecca "Burger Becky" Heineman, and her unparalleled legacy.
We thought we knew exactly how how this would go, but sometimes you discover an unexpected result: https://youtu.be/0dbsxWqCVqA
We knew of course that a GameCube Adapter would work on the Switch 2, because we'd tried it already on launch day, and livestreamed the results with Soul Calibur II on GameCube Nintendo Classics, but that was connected to the dock using "classic" USB-A. When we got to thinking about how we could have hooked this up to the Switch 2 directly, that's when we got creative.
It's a classic, but when was the last time anyone played it? How many kids today have never even seen it? Let's fix that now!
While the original Legend of Zelda was a technical marvel of its time, by modern standards it's graphics are simple, its in-game hints terse, and replay value limited. Game of the era often made up for digital limitations with expanded stories and gorgeous artwork in the instruction manual. Hint books reigned supreme, and personalized assistance could be found for a fee until the internet came along and ruined that business model.
Speaking of which, today we'll show you how to explore the overworld, beat the first labyrinth, and stock up Link's inventory with the best goodies before capturing the next piece of the Triforce. Plus we'll talk about how this open world design inspired successors Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
It was Wily all along! And he's stolen Gamma! Whatever that is...
We defeated all the robot masters, but now we're facing down the Mega Man 2 enemies in new bodies before we can get to Dr. Wily. Can Sean face this threat alone? Seeing as how much he talked up how "easy" this game was compared to other Mega Man games in the series, he'd better!
Come with us (and Mike Jones) to explore C-Island!
StarTropics is one of those rare Nintendo-developed games that was made specifically for the NES and never intended to be released for the Famicom in Japan. One half RPG like Final Fantasy, and one half action-adventure like Zelda, StarTropics sees Mike off to rescue his uncle “Dr. J” in the islands of the south pacific.
We've never played it this game before, but it was chosen by our Patreon Producers, and they haven’t steered us wrong yet!
Let's break out some cool tunes and flex our creative muscles!
The revelation of a Nintendo Switch 2 mouse had us reminiscing about older Nintendo games that used mouse peripherals, but chief among them is childhood favorite Mario Paint. While working on our latest video, we got to reacquaint ourselves with all the ins and outs of this game, and remembered (almost a decade later) how this user interface was lovingly revived on Super Mario Maker for Wii U.
Physical is best, but physical is also the most expensive.
How things have changed in Japan, and a certain taboo you should never break.
It's a classic, but Sean has never played it! We didn't pick up the Nintendo Switch remake, but fortunately the original was one of the 21 games included on the Super NES Classic Edition, which is how we'll play it today with special guest Reanna Reid-Lobatto — artist, anime fan, and other half of friend of the show Miles Reid-Lobatto!
We continue Simon's quest to defeat Dracula. Wait, that sounds like another game...
Sean's never played Castlevania to completion before, but we got pretty far when we last played. Can we take it to the end this time?
With Metroid Prime 4 on the horizon, let's take a look back at how the series all began.
Before they became decades-long franchises, games like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid excelled at showing a new generation of gamers how versatile the Nintendo Entertainment System (and the original Famicom) could be. Mario platformed, and Link adventured, but Samus did both, and created a moody atmosphere that its many sequels continue to deepen an attempt to recapture.
The password system programmed into the NES version is also an interesting strength of this variation of the game. The original Famicom version was programmed for the Famicom Disk System, and featured a save screen just like Zelda and other Famicom Disk System titles. Lacking a battery backup like the Zelda cartridge, gamers could use long passwords to save their progress, but also hack the game into scenarios that would not be possible on the disk system original. The JUSTIN BAILEY code is well known, but there are so many others.
Our focus will be on playing the game as designed, but we will explore the options that passwords can give us, as well as compare to Metroid: Zero Mission on Game Boy Advance as time allows.
Out of This World, originally released as Another World, was a game unique among its 16-bit peers in the early 1990s: a cinematic experience with amazing graphics and music on game consoles and consumer computer platforms with a minimalist design to match, but brutal consequences for failure. If you were like us, you were hooked and wanted more. If you’re not like us, then it enraged you. And we're going to play it!
Are we getting a Mario Paint sequel on Nintendo Switch 2?
Every Nintendo console needs a new gimmick, and with a console called "Switch 2" it wasn't immediately obvious how they would move the needle this time. With the now-confirmed mouse functionality, Nintendo could offer several supporting games from its back catalog through Nintendo Switch Online, while also returning functionality to its Switch ports of Wii U games that had to be removed for want of a GamePad touch screen.
Will we see Mario Paint make a comeback, or will the gameplay be folded into other existing or new iterations of other titles such as Super Mario Maker that already feature that Mario Paint verve?
Who’s up for some Mario & Wario?
Helicopters are flying metal death traps in real life, but even more dangerous in Viewtiful Joe where they will stop the titular hero before he can even complete the first episode. Sean breaks down how he was able to make it past the earliest, and somehow toughest, boss in the game.
Excite Truck was a surprise hit launch title for the Nintendo Wii, taking cues from earlier games Excitebike and Excitebike 64 (in what later came to be known as the "Excite" series), and dialing all of the tricks and land deformations up to 11 making the game really live up to its name. It's also an excellent showcase of the Wii's motion controls, tapping into those primal instincts kids had to jerk the controller around as if it would have some physical effect, and making such motions essential to the gameplay. Plus, players can load up their own MP3s onto the Wii SD card and play them in-game — how cool is that??
As the Producers Pick for December 2024, and the first stream of 2025, we're looking to kick off the new year right! The MOST right...
Couldn't stop thinking about it while playing Mega Man 3, so we're going to take a detour to scrub our brains.
Mega Man 3 may have been the first that Sean felt like he could beat, but Mega Man X was the first one he loved with his whole body. It was a fantastic showcase for the new Super Nintendo Entertainment System, from the EXTREMELY '90s intro that made excellent use of the Sony-designed SNES sound chip, to all the color, sound, graphics and frenetic gameplay that launched the Mega Man series into the 16-bit console generation.
These cartridges are also insanely pricey to collect, so it's a good thing that various virtual consoles — including Nintendo Switch Online — have made them all playable for the masses once more.
