Retro Wars

As if Nintendo read my mind....well I think they did, this week myself and my guest, R9 Beats are covering Pokémon Snap for the N64. This was a sleeper hit and up until recently, never had a sequel. I fully played this when it came out and loved it. But looking back at it now, does it still hold up.

This was not my idea, it was my guest's, CPC, The Christian Pokemon Champion. It seems weird doing Mario 2 first but here are. Mario Brothers 2, I did not play this until it came out on Super Mario all stars for the super nintendo. The question is.....is it a good game. Well you are about to hear my thoughts on the matter.

One of the gems of the N64 and then gem of the franchise, Lylat Wars/Star Fox 64. I played a lot of this growing up and got really good at it. My guest did the same, returning to the show, Chris Coplien, the presenter of the Retro Hangover, joins me for a good chin wag.

It seems odd to do this first before the main game but here we are. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7, the story of Zack Fair, a character with a huge amount of impact on the main series but not a lot is known about him. Today me and my guest, Keegs, do our best to try to figure out what is going on.

I am returning back to the arena of the gods on the search for the legendary swords. Myself and Jake Mcauley love this game and oh yes some of the character designs. Soul Calibur came out for the gamecube, xbox and playstation 2 with a few guest characters...one of which...I loved.

I love this game, my guest, Rob Cox loves this game, you should love this game. This is a cult classic. I really hope we can inspire some great memories of this great game. Snowboard kids is a great game for the N64. I did not think a lot of people had played this but maybe I am wrong.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3, a game which I did not have a lot of experience with. However, my guest, CPC (The Christian Pokemon Champion), did. I feel that I am going to rip this game a new bottom...stupid crystals.

Streets of Rage for the Megadrive...the first game I ever owned. I loved this game so much growing up. I still love it now. I am joined by Chris, presenter of the Retro Hangover podcast. Make sure you give it a listen!!!

Let's go back to where it all began, the grand theft auto franchise started here with this....monster of a game. I welcome back my friend, Dan Cole, to the show once again. He likes this game a little more than me.....time to put him back in their place.

The big rival to Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie. I 100% this monster back in the day and it is time to dive back in again. I welcome newcomer Mick to the mic and get his thoughts on it all.

It is a bit later than usual, but I have been travelling across the world and I am still half asleep. Today, myself and the Christian Pokemon Champion are covering Pokemon Stadium for the N64. This game was magical when it came out. I hope it awakens those feelings it did with me.

How did this game ever get released? Conker's bad fur day for the N64, Rare's last hurrah before bowing out of the N64 and what a game it was. This week myself and my cousin Stefan go back in time to this little gem and ask what made us love it so much.
