Ash has lured Luke back to the the main timeline with the promise of 90s nostalgia, wrestling and white guy rapping! Who could resist?

| 30 May 2024 | Focus Extra: Street Fighter IV - The ties that bind | 01:38:56 | |
Five week month bonus episode! It's time to look at the official prequel to Street Fighter IV, which doesn't contain much in the way of streets, fighting, or indeed any useful correlation to the plot. Ken is a Salaryman, Ryu is the bestest boy, and Seth is taking time off from Emmerdale. Cliff watched the English dub, Ash watched the Japanese sub, and it didn't make a bit of difference to their experience. Judge for yourself and listen to their suffering.

We need your help listener! Ashdros has declared war. He's invaded the Clifflat System, and trying to take UCP. Our army alone can not do the job. Hurry UCN! Ash & Cliff blast off through Tori gates and into a deep dive on how Argonaut went from bedroom developer, to pioneering 3D gaming and followed by possible breaches of Nintendo licensing, where Nintendo did the most un-Nintendo thing they've ever done... they offered them a contract?!

To kick off the month we're looking at the promotional VHS tape that came with the first issue of Super Plays' spiritual successor N64 Magazine. Cliff is overjoyed at this turn of events, Ash is regretting it before the record button has even been pressed, and Ocean forgot to send any actual footage of their game. It's going to be great.
