Show Topic
Topic: Controllers throughout history
Arcades: Since whole cabinets were made for one game, truly unique controls could be tailored to a single game.
Joysticks and buttons became standard quickly, but button placement could vary. Trackballs (Centipede, Marble Madness) Dials (pong, arkanoid) Steering wheels and pedals (like every racing game) Light guns (like every arcade shooting game) Rotating Joysticks (Ikari warriors and other SNK games) DDR
Atari Joystick w/ 1 button NES controller gives us the D-Pad 4 face buttons on the SNES, another industry standard
Dreamcast: divisive. But ergonomic. I wish the stick was more grippy. Gamecube: perfection (except that D-pad)
3rd party and peripherals: Fightsticks - still tournament standard for most fighting games, esp. Street fighter. HOTAS or Yoke (hands on throttle and stick) - flight sims Gameboy Tilt Controls SNES Mouse (and N64 mouse for DD) R.O.B.
Alternative controllers (that you might play any game with) Genesis - 6 button Playstation - the aforementioned dual shock
Community:
Fight Crab Fanatic — 03/28/2022 The Steam controller had a track pad instead of a right thumb stick. The pad had to be edited for every game on Steam. The trackpad had a cool haptic feedback
WondrousWill — 03/28/2022 I've used the Onimusha katana for PS2. I remember it somehow being better than I expected, but not good enough to use a 2nd time. Fortunately, it wasn't mine. It made for a very cool display piece, though.
SpiderShan — 03/28/2022 Do those Wii lightsaber Wiimote holders count? Not really controllers themselves. I’ve always wanted a DQ Slime controller.
ChrisHL94 🇨🇦 — 03/28/2022 I wouldn’t call it weird but I loved the NES Advantage growing up. It was the real arcade feeling that I enjoyed the most. The rapid fire A and B buttons were great as well. I would unleash a hail of fire balls playing any of the Mario games.
This one is a little bit out there, and it might be a loose fit, but a family friend of ours in the ‘80s had a Captain Power set complete with the spaceships and multiple corresponding VHS tapes. It’s crazy to think about now, but the ships were basically equal parts toy and light gun controller that worked similarly to the NES Zapper. But there was no game console, the ships would interact with certain elements contained within the video playing from the VHS tapes. (I think there was also a TV show that aired that the ships could interact with, but I don’t think it lasted long). The ships even had an action figure in the cockpit that would eject and fly across the room if you lost the mission. Seems really archaic now, but as a 5 year old it was like magic.
Flightsy — 03/28/2022 I’m afraid I don’t have a fun story for this one. The only 3rd party controllers I’ve used are fake Gamecube controllers, where the only notable thing was that the analog stick wore out really quick.
SkinnyMatt — 03/29/2022 Epyx made a joystick. We used these for the C-64. It looks funny, but man was it comfortable. The button placement was great, and it was easy to hold. ESL orally good while playing Summer Games and Summer Games II on the Commodore. FYI, they made one for the NES too!

Questions Fight Crab Fanatic — 03/24/2022 Big question that can be answered right now or over the air: What does your spouse say when you say "Honey I want to buy (insert $200-$300 system)"

Topic: Mario Vs Donkey Kong and our favorite Puzzle Platformers.
What is a puzzle platformer?
"The platformer ven diagram" Skill platformers Combat Platformers Puzzle Platformers
Were the first platformers actually puzzle platformers?
Dan: Toki Tori Pushmo Portal Mario Vs DK Box Boy Mighty Switch force
Krusty’s Fun House
solo_something — Today at 12:08 PM Trine series
Flightsy — Today at 12:32 PM Obviously Mario vs DK itself, although I’ve only played the one for Retro Rewind (Mini-Land Mayhem), I recently bought the rest on the 3DS eshop so I’ll have a chance to play them. I’ve also been enjoying Box-boy, but I just started that…
bozo — Today at 1:33 PM Wario Land 2 and 3
Stevens_NES — Today at 3:47 PM The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle games. I haven't played much of them, but playing it gave me Mario vs DK vibes. You don't jump though so that makes it not really a platformer.
DesolateSaturation — Today at 4:40 PM My favorites are Little Nightmares, Thomas Was Alone, Human Fall Flat, and Unravel. I also think Forgotten Anne and Gris are worth checking out, but they’re more cool due to visual esthetic than gameplay.
PrestoTheMagnificent — Today at 4:58 PM Does Super Paper Mario count?
HeyItsChad! — Today at 9:32 PM Other than the Mario DK I did like Solomon’s Key. I had never played it until the Switch Online service showed up. It is a close second place to MDK
1:42:20 Community Couch
Questions PrestoTheMagnificent What old, forgotten series would you want to return the most?
Stevens_NES So #JurassicJune is right around the corner and I'm curious what are your favorite Dinosaur games? I know Dan will probably say Turok, but I'm curious if there are others you may like or have just even played.

Question of the week dewboy212: So I wanted to ask you guys what you thought modern game creators biggest failures were? And if you felt there was a superiority between old and new games? I asked this because sometimes I feel like some companies don't utilize as much of the technology as they could. This is evident where you have truly great games ( fallen order) but you KNOW they still are held back by a companies reluctance to implement every possible avenue in development.
(Side note, perhaps it's stating that, when old games came out, they generally added something new to the table. They didn't generally henge on gimmicks to sell products and really only got by because they released a new version every year. Maybe modern game developers crutch is, that they have so much technology that they can release a game without having to push an envelope to it's extreme. Or maybe its just that, with every game sticking to a $60 price tag, there's truly no use to sell a game better than anyone else, if you don't actually get compensated.)

“Trivia Card”
Show Topic
Topic: our favorite Beat-em-ups!
OctoRock (Adam) — Today at 9:46 AM My three favorite non-TMNT bmups are The Simpsons arcade game, Battletoads and River City Ransom. The Simpsons may actually beat out TMNT for me as far as the 4 player arcade experience goes. Just such a hilarious and well crafted game. Battletoads speaks for itself, I’m not sure if it’s a full blown bmup because of the platforming and speeder bike levels, but they teamed up with Double Dragon so that’s gotta say something. River City Ransom is probably the only oddball here. A great semi-obscure NES game that thankfully a lot of people are now aware of thanks to River City Girls. One of my favorite NES titles and up there with Battletoads for me.
the Well-Red Mage — Today at 9:50 AM Shredders Revenge is AH MAH GAHHHHHHHH so good. A beat em up nobody gives enough love to is Fight N Rage. Seriously amazing.
ElPeeDee (Liam D) — Today at 10:09 AM mine has to be Batman Returns for SNES. I loved the grabbing & throwing mechanics, breaking parts of the environment and the bat gadgets you could employ. the sprite art was gorgeous and, while I hadn't even seen the movie at that point, I loved the characters
twodollarhero — Today at 10:25 AM For me, it’s Scott Pilgrim. It’s not the most mechanically dense beat-em-up, but I’ve come to realize that I prefer the River City Ransom approach of simpler gameplay, but a more fleshed out world with characters, shops, etc. Paul Robertson’s artwork is gorgeous and the soundtrack by Anamanaguchi is among the greatest in video game history, full stop.
CrazyGreekDre — Today at 10:51 AM Turtles in time, Final fight both sNES and TMNT arcade game
ChrisHL94 🇨🇦 — Today at 11:47 AM I’ll vouch for the Streets of Rage series. My favourite is SOR II, but I like them all. The sequel on the Nintendo Switch is great as well.
solo_something — Today at 12:00 PM NARC. Still can see it in the arcade when closing my eyes.
SpiderShan — Today at 1:45 PM The TMNT games are easy favorites but I have a couple others that are right up there for me. The first is the X-Men 4 player Arcade game. So many quarters with my friends at the small pizza joint in our town that had this cabinet. The second game I want to shout out is Death and Return of Superman on the SNES. This was a pretty great adaptation of the comic event and allowed you to play as all the various Supermen at the time (Superman, Superboy, Cyborg Superman, and Eradicator). I lost track of the amount of times I played through it wanting to relive the story.
WarriorofWASD — Today at 2:18 PM I was a big fan of Jaleco's Final Fight knock off like Rival Turf. You could do a code that would let you edit all the bad guy's names: Butt Man, Turd Ferguson, Captain Urine...etc
Late entry here! Have you heard the good word about Die Hard Arcade? I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it recently on the Sega Saturn. A seemingly endless amount of various weapons, moves, and 3D low-poly charm make this short but endlessly replayable gem must-play. The same could be said for it’s Dreamcast sequel Dynamite Cop. On a related note, has anyone tried Breakneck City on Switch? I’ve been curious about the Die Hard Arcade vibes it gives.

Presto Sonic Colors. Played the OG on Wii, it was my first Sonic game, and had good memories.
Bozo F-Zero GX comes to mind. When I first played it in 8th grade I couldn't understand how anyone could even reach the credits,
Octorock (Adam) Replaying games multiple times is a luxury that I haven’t really had in a long time. The first exception to this is probably going to be Breath of the Wild which I just recently started a quick playthrough in anticipation of Tears for Fears coming out in May. Conversely, having just started playing Metroid Prime Remastered, I’m amazed at how much I actually remember considering I haven’t played it in 20 years!
SoloSomething Elden Ring currently playing a second time and will say opinion did change on this one. The 1st play thru I got so frustrated multiple times I literally deleted the game off my PS5 because I was drained by the boss fights. And now on my 2nd play it is my junk food game that I love to just jump and go raise Hell and see what trophy I can get.
Community Couch Two Dollar Hero Are there any games you actually never want to replay? I call these “big fish” games — I want them to stay rose tinted in my memory; I want to always remember the fish that I caught being massive and I don’t want to revisit it and see that it actually wasn’t. A good example of this for me is Journey. I’ll never play that game again - I had my experience.
Danverse Finale (or is it?)

Questions BintendoMan Question: I saw @Dan - RetroLogic mention his wife isn’t into gaming, with gaming seemingly a big part of your life how’s that work? Do you ever feel judged for it? Does she try? If this isn’t something you want to talk about on the pod I understand. Just curious the dynamic. And for the others on the pod how do their significant others do with their gaming hobby?

Old News Weta/Heritage Auction - fraud In 2019 - Sealed Super Mario Bros NES sells for $100K.
- Heritage Auctions is the auction website where all of the “record breaking” video game sales are taking place. ALL of them. And they charge a 20% buyers premium on every sale. So if you actually bought a game for $1mil, you’d owe the auction house $200K. Plus they taker 5% from the seller.
So if these 2 companies were in any way connected, it would be a massive conflict of interest. Who is buying the games?
- Employees confessing to manipulation of the market by posting and buying their own item for higher and higher prices. If there’s “sales data” then people will believe it. - Jim Halperin involved in the 80s coin bubble. He was found guilty of intentionally mis-rating coins, and was fined $2mil.

Community Couch SpiderShan — Today at 6:17 PM @everyone a little late notice but we will be talking about the Mario & Luigi games tonight for the next episode of RetroLogic. We’d love to hear about your experiences with the series? What games have you played? What are your favorites in the series?
Just being Bruce — Today at 6:50 PM Oh sorry guys, but I can’t leave any messages for you about that because I’m concentrating on the Oilers winning all the way!!!!!!!!!
Your Wallet's Defense Attorney — Today at 7:08 PM The Mario & Luigi games are my childhood Mario RPGs. I had Partners in Time and Bowser's Inside Story as a kid. I view the series as an underrated classic. I own and have played the core four games, but I only beat PiT and BiS. I almost got to the end in Superstar Saga, tho. I haven't played Paper Jam. I think my favorite is absolutely Bowser's Inside Story.
Eric Plunk — Today at 8:07 PM I’ve only dabbled in the series but have played enough them to enjoy their comedic charm. Superstar Saga has a special place in my heart because it was the last Christmas gift I got from my Grandmother before she passed.

While this softens the blow of the 360 marketplace’s closure there are still a massive amount of games being left behind. Physical copies of these games will and in some cases already have seen an increase in value. Digital only games like Rush ‘N Attack Expatriot, Rez HD, Vigilante 8 Arcade, and all of the Arcade Kinect games will be largely left to time, piracy notwithstanding. Here’s hoping that the recently rumored renewed focus on backwards compatibility from Microsoft comes to fruition.

Question of the week 16bitnomad: Here’s a question for everyone…what do you prefer when collecting…games that are CIB or not? Do you prefer games with manuals or without? Or are you a “loose” character who takes carts and discs as they are? I prefer games that are CIB but for NES and N64 I’ll collect just the carts.

Question of the week
Flightsy — 06/22/2021 What is a game that you think misrepresents its own franchise? Sorry, I had a hard time phrasing this question, so it's prolly a bit confusing. Maybe an example might help. For me I would say Kirby Star Allies. Although I have issues with Star Allies, I don't think it's a bad game. I picked it because I feel that it makes the Kirby franchise, or at least the modern Kirby games, seem a lot more "Kiddie" than it actually is, and because it's the main Kirby game on switch I feel that it has spread this impression to a lot of people. It's very tempting for me to write down a full lecture on why I think that is right here, but I think that's enough for you all to hopefully get an idea of what I mean by the question.
InfiniteBlue — 06/23/2021 The Devil May Cry franchise has two of these. The first of which is the DmC reboot, which was so tonally discordant with the rest of the series with its edgelord "hollywood-ification" of the plot and characters. It's a decent action game mechanically and would have been well received if they simply... didn't call it DmC. Then there's DMC2, which is a dull and bad video game by any measure. You'd be doing yourself a favor by going straight from 1 to 3, it's that unremarkable.
twodollarhero — 06/23/2021 I think a lot of the more recent Super Monkey Ball games are a good example of this. I’ve been playing SMB2 again lately (because I’m so hyped for Banana Mania) and bouncing from that (no pun intended) to something like Banana Blitz HD is a jarring experience. The more modern entries of the series - which vastly outnumber what fans consider to be the “good” games - totally misrepresent what the games are about. Suddenly, there’s jumping mechanics and every level is littered with guard rails or worst of all, control gimmicks. The series is about fun, challenging arcade gameplay with pitch perfect controls… and most of the games in the series at this point aren’t about that anymore.
SpiderShan — 06/23/2021 I guess I’d have to go with Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World for Wii. There are quite a few “Tales of” games and spin-offs and Tales of Symphonia for GameCube is considered one of the best. I know it’s my favorite in the series. I was hyped to play the sequel but they decided to change a lot of the gameplay including the use of monsters in place of human companions. You play as characters completely unrelated to the original game and the characters that I loved from the first game were “guest characters” in the sequel that would come and go and were a hollow shell of what they were before. It’s such a departure from what made the original so special. This question is going to sound a little grumpy old Dad, but @everyone; what game franchise made a really great game but couldn’t capture the greatness of the first game in any of the sequels? Bionic Commando for the NES comes to mind. Not one game, but the Super Monkey Ball franchise fits this bill perfectly after Amusement Vision folded. Everything after 1/2/Deluxe is a colossal drop in quality. Other than that I'd probably go with Ninja Gaiden (3D series). The sequels felt like incomplete portions of the visions they were going for, the first is the only one that feels cohesive.

neoprime33: Have you ever or would you ever buy a game that you know you cannot play right now, but buy it for the backlog (cause you want to play it eventually)? If so, do you have an example? If no, why not? I am guessing this comes with buying retro games, but, I still wanted to ask the question. 🙂

Questions ChrisHL94 I am definitely feeling what John described in the last podcast. I have a fairly modest game collection, but I almost never "have" time to play them. I keep telling myself I'll play these games one day, like when the kids are older and out of the house, or when I have fewer commitments in my life. I also wonder if this "time" will ever come, and should I just sell all these games and play what I have time for. I have a feeling I know what you guys think about this, but I'd be interested in hearing it.

Seth (All N podcast) list
PAL: December 22, 1997
The Mario Kart 64 "power slide" drift mechanics inspired that of Blast Corps's dump truck. Wakeley championed the drift controls against the rest of the team, who found them aggravating. Thunderfuist was designed without an arm because the developers had run out of computer memory to store the data and liked the look anyway. Blast Corps's Japanese and American quality assurance teams later competed to push the levels to their limits, which resulted in the game's platinum level objectives.
Have any of y'all ever played a game that you felt like you just connected with DEEPLY after playing it? I don't even mean emotionally necessarily. Like the game was made specifically for you, your vibes, your interests, even if you didn't know it?

Datfast (John) — If the Turtles had another brother what color would you want him to be and what would his weapon of choice be? Also a name would be nice!
solo_something — Which one do you think fights over the slice of pizza? Which turtle do you think would go evil ninja first? Do you think Splinter has a favorite and who is it?
hambone jonny — If they remade the TMNT 2 movie, what artist would you want to do the “Ninja rap?” Also, can we get a squad going for online play when the Cowabunga Collection comes out? I call dibs on Leo.
Fight Crab Fanatic — Can you beat the underwater level with the bombs?
oops — If you could add any unannounced character to the upcoming shredders revenge. Who would it be? For me it’s Casey Jones and Yojimbo the samurai bunny.
ChrisHL94 🇨🇦 — Strangest pizza toppings you have ever ate on a pizza? From what I remember of the original TMNT cartoons, some of the pies on there were a little sketchy…
SpiderShan — My TMNT question-do the bros really need to wear masks to protect their identities? There aren’t a lot of mutant turtles running around…😁

ElPeeDee (Liam D) What is the next game on your list that's most likely to be a big splurge purchase?
GalaxyWolf What’s a game that you wish you played (or played more) a long time ago? For me it’d be Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. I played it back when it came out and I loved it, but for some reason I stopped playing around world 3. I’d really love to return to it someday. Does this ever happen to you? Sometimes when I play digital games I don’t feel motivated to finish them. When I play physical games, I’m more motivated to finish them. Outro

Show Topics Canceled Games we wish we could play (or at least see finished)
Mario Motors 3ds Yutaka “Yoot” Saito (Odama, Seaman, SimTower, Aeroporter) revealed its canceled development at 2018’s Reboot Develop conference. Saito could not give a reason why the game was canceled. -Game was based around the concept of building engines by shaving and sculpting chunks of metal. -at one point intended to blow into DS microphone (because YS loves microphones) -Unclear if you would actually ever race using these engines -only two characters confirmed in concept art, Mario (duh) and an elderly scientist (no, not E. Gadd)
Super Mario Spikers Wii -volleyball-wrestling hybrid sport game to be developed by Next Level games team responsible for Mario Strikers games -carried over experience from the also canceled WWE Titans: parts unknown (the same team worked on it and really didn’t want these ideas to go to waste -WWE parts unknwn itself is super interesting: crazy stylized take on pro wrestling, featuring fantastic environments and the ability to wrestle bears, crocodiles, sorcerers, etc. - Nintendo felt the violence in the game was too realistic for something featuring mario’s characters

Our History with the series
Thoughts on Reboot Camp New style, same campaign Multiplayer Future installments?
Interesting tidbits The series is weird about region exclusivity: ReBoot camp has yet to be confirmed for a release in japan Advance Wars (1) was delayed in japan (presumably as a result of the US war on terror, though not officially stated).(the US released coincidentally released just before on September 10, 2001) It released 3 years later in 2004 as Game boy Wars advance 1 & 2, bundled with the second game. Famicom wars, Gameboy Wars 1-3 were of course Japan only Japan also only got Days of Ruin as an eshop exclusive, not physical.
Designer Kentaro Nishimura stated that the success of Advance Wars shifted NIntendo’s attitude towards western tastes and without it Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade would never have been localized.
Reboot camp is not the first time Nintendo outsourced the series development to a third party: Game boy wars Turbo, 2, and 3 were developed by Hudson and Battalion Wars 1 and 2 by Kuju Entertainment.

Gaming Conventions & Events. What shows have you been to? Do you go often? Running a convention Buying games/merch at cons Personal convention highlight/stories How can they improve?
Community Couch All N Eric — Today at 1:16 PM Easily one of my favorite moments was when I got to film all these celebrities giving shoutouts back to my Army unit.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpXgLZkwd-s&pp=ygUUV2l6YXJkIGNvbiBzaG91dG91dHM%3D Wizard Con Shoutouts
Eric Plunk — Today at 1:23 PM I got to be part of the Nintendo Dads panel to talk about retro gaming at the con in my home town. And by panel I mean just me and Marty Estes I was also introduced to the girl that voiced Ash from Pokemon.
adam — Today at 1:23 PM i was going to origins game fair with my friends, and one of the features of the con was the ability to pitch a board game you designed to publishers with the intent of either getting advice or possibly being picked up by the publisher and have your board game sold.
my friend sam had been developing a game for awhile called ‘go for the krill’ a whale themed trick taking card game, and he was planning on pitching it at the convention. while we were in line to get tickets we struck up a conversation with the guy behind us we all hit it off, and it turns out he owned a board game company and he picked up my friends game and it’s gonna be launched in the near future!
OctoRock_1982 — Today at 2:07 PM My favorite convention memory is getting to spending time with Dan, John and Trey.
DoubleD — Today at 2:35 PM A good friend and I took our sons to Gamescom 2016 in Cologne, Germany (pictured is the FFXV wristband I still have from the event). It was such an amazing and over the top event, and while I was originally excited for myself, I quickly switched gears and I let my son take over and decide how we spent our time there. It was my first large gaming event like this, so I didn't realize how much time we would spend waiting in line though. My favorite thing there was the Tekken 7 booth, but it was bittersweet, because we waited in line for a while to play it, and then found out that my son was too young and they wouldn't let him play it even though I was his father. Very strange, but still a great experience overall.
Your Wallet's Defense Attorney — Today at 2:36 PM I've only ever been to Anime Midwest, and that was more to chaperone my sister. It was fun tho. It was really surreal seeing a bunch of people dressed up in cosplay, and it was fun trying to see how many I recognized. I got a picture with Pepsi Man. We went to a few panels of varying quality, from a professional samurai to some people who just bought a ton of Kazoos. We did Karaoke, and I sang Call Me Maybe, The Kirby Right Back At Ya Theme, Bye Bye Baby (Giants home run theme), Full Disclosure (Steven Universe), and Ya Got Trouble (Music Man). Someone sang Escape from the City (SA2) and the Phineas and Ferb Theme Song. It was a good time!
txTrey — Today at 5:25 PM I took my son to CGF yesterday morning near opening time and he played a demo of a game called Ghost Ship Grannies. The game is an RPG about a group of grannies who get shipwrecked and you have to find the other grannies and do RPG things. Then when I obligatorily signed up for the email list after talking to the game's artist I saw 2 lines up on the sheet someone had signed up with the SAME FIRST.LAST@gmail.com address as my son's name! It was the most coincidental moment that has happened to me at a convention. That was the question, right?

Whoever’s guess is the closest wins that round, and the next person lists off their games. Everyone brought a list of games, and everyone guesses on each other’s lists. At the end of the game, whoever won the most rounds wins the game!

Playable characters:(10 + 2 ogs)
-later games added a character creator and a wide variety of off the wall guest characters like Spider Man, Doomguy, James Hetfield, and Darth Maul
-Actually released to capitalize on growing success of Top Skater (1997, Arcade, Sega) and Street Sk8er (1998, EA, Playstation). -Neversoft released only 3 games prior: Skeleton Warriors, MDK, and Apocalypse Sequels: Pro Skater 1999 Pro Skater 2 2000 Pro Skater 3 2001 Pro Skater 2x 2001 Pro Skater 4 2002 Underground 2003 Underground 2 2004 American Wasteland 2005 Downhill Jam 2006 Project 8 2006 Proving Ground 2007 Motion 2008 Vert 2009 Ride 2009 Shred 2010 Pro Skater HD 2012 Shred Session 2014 Pro Skater 5 2015 Skate Jam 2018 Pro Skater 1 + 2 2020
Tony Hawk turned down a one-time offer for permanent use of his name in likeness in favor of royalties. He made the right call, earning ten times the initial offer within two years.
Tony Hawk also did a lot of playtesting himself, and personally selected the skaters to be playable characters himself as well. -motion capture was attempted, but not quite there yet. Instead, animations were made based on X-games footage as reference
Promotions: Toys R us mini skateboard for pre-orders of GBC version Playable demo on summer ‘99 compilation CD by Playstation Underground Second demo on a promo disc distributed by Pizza Hut -Ngage version bundled with N-Gage QD
Community Couch Schoner Tod I remember when Tony Hawk Pro skater first released. (edited)
as a kid playing game was for nights and winter when it was raining but every time i had my friends over it was always a compitition to see who could get the best line or the highest score. I remember several weekends we would even carry our tvs to each others houses and have multiple games going at once. pizza tons of soda and nothing but laughs.
bozo — Yesterday at 10:14 AM I was very late to the party with THPS - I only got into the series around 2016 as I was building up my OG Xbox library and had 2x/3/4 on hand to see what all the fuss was about. Going in, I was expecting it to be the kind of game that hasn't aged well; one whose reputation was heavily embellished by nostalgia for the era it represented.
Needless to say, I was very, very wrong. THPS totally holds up. And the gameplay mechanics on offer are not only ridiculously deep, but fluid and cohesive in a way few other games can match even today. Chaining tricks into manuals into ramps into reverts is an absolutely sublime gameplay loop that never gets old.
I'm always bothered whenever THPS gets lumped into the generic "Sports" categorization, when in reality it has way more in common with combo-oriented action games like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta than say, Madden. I think that's why it quickly became one of my all-time favorite series despite completely missing out on them when they were in the zeitgeist.
Oh yeah, and the soundtrack? It shreds. As a huge pop-punk fan I couldn't ask for more.
I'll never forgive Activision-Blizzard for shutting down Vicarious Visions and cancelling the THPS 3+4 remaster. 1+2 is arguably the best remaster ever made, and is easily the apex of the entire franchise, despite the moribund state the franchise was in for the previous 15 years.

Questions
Community Couch Questions:
oops: What’s a fair price for Plok? Price charting shows it at $25. It doesn’t seem like the Plok market has recovered from Ploktober, because all the listings I find are in the $30 range? That brings me to the question for the couch. How long do you think impacts like this last on the markets of specific games? Can they change a standard game price long term?

Question of the week
Do you do anything to protect your collection? (Using box protectors, insuring your collection, dusting your collection, etc.)
Nicktendo [BurgerBuns Gamer] Are theyre any off the wall combinations of things that a game will remind you of? For example: Super Mario 64 will ALWAYS remind me of Apple Jacks cereal at my best friend's house on Saturday mornings. Even though it only happened one time lol Or TMNT on NES reminds me of my brother and I sharing a room at an apartment complex playing it at night with the window open, a Nintendo Poster on the wall and a Big Foot Pizza from Pizza Hut lol again, that only happened like... once. Maaaaybe twice lol
Andross @Dan - RetroLogic What's your favorite Speedrun to watch? Or in other words: What games have the coolest speedruns to you?
Mechadragon101 what are some games you think a retro collector is essentially required to buy and own ?! You can suggest for any console you want.
Nicktendo [BurgerBuns Gamer] Also, whats your favorite cover of a song from a video game?

WarriorofWASD — Today at 9:31 AM The Game Genie was known for some game altering codes that did ridiculous things to the game. There was a code for Street Fighter 2 where you could replace the Capcom logo with Balrog.
SpiderShan — Today at 9:49 AM Growing up on the Nintendo, the first code I ever learned was the classic Konami code! It was the only way I could get through Contra and Life Force! Up up down down left right left right a b a b
neoprime33 — Today at 10:43 AM I don't remember which magazine I got it from (NP or EGM), but this was one I used all the time, so I could build the city of my dreams in Sim City for the SNES (source: IGN)... Easy Money First spend all your money. Put the game on the fastest setting and wait for the tax grid to appear. As soon as the screen turns black hold L + R. While holding these buttons change all settings to 0% and exit the screen (don't release the buttons yet). While still holding these buttons, use the menu to return to the tax screen. Raise all settings to 100% except for the tax rate. Set that to 20%. Exit the tax screen and the menu, then release L and R. Congratulations! You now have $999,999. You might want to lower the tax rate now. Give those SimCitizens a break!
OctoRock (Adam) — Today at 10:55 AM I always liked DK mode in Goldeneye. 🤣
Unlocking various celebrities and developers in NBA Jam was awesome. The Beastie Boys vs Bill Clinton anyone?
There’s a part of Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story called the Lunbar Nook where you are basically forced to take a break as Toadbert and Toadstool drink tea and listen to soft music. But if you talk to Toadbert BEFORE you go to the Lumbar Nook when it is made available, he tells you he had a dream about him having tea and time passing really slowly. He then says he heard the sound of ABXYLRYXBA being pressed to make time go at a normal speed. Doing this in the Lumbar Nook speeds up the wait time to a couple of seconds. You don’t have to talk to Toadbert to do this, the cheat works no matter how you learn of it. I found it in an old cheat book I got from my elementary school’s book fair!
I love the “cheat codes” that just let you do ridiculous things. Lego Star Wars the complete saga comes to mind
My parents bought me a NES game genie in an attempt to delay getting me a SNES. Man I loved that thing.
The Scott pilgrim video game had a cheat that could indirectly get you infinite money. “To do the cheat, the player will need to be inside of a level, preferably away from enemies. This is best done with 2-players. Basically, the way the cheat works is that the player will input it and instantly die. Although when they die, they will drop $50. The second player can then pick up the money and revive the player to repeat the process. Players can get thousands of dollars within minutes without needing to do anything else. This is called the Noble Sacrifice.” (Screen rant) The code for the cheat was: PlayStation: Hold X and press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Circle Nintendo Switch: Hold B and press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A Using this cheat made getting achievements and leveling up characters you hadn’t used much require less grinding. That way you could play later stages with friends and not have one person stuck with a useless character.

Topic: The legacy of the Turbographx-16
Fast facts:
Community Comments:
Unfortunately, I have no experience with the TurboGrafx-16. I CAN tell you it's been used on Price is Retro in Season 1 seven times (5 by @Dan - RetroLogic and 2 by @Datfast ). The add-on TG-CD has been used only once (by @16bitwar-nomad), but it was used 4 episodes before the regular TG-16!
OctoRock (Adam) — In 3rd and 4th grade I had a friend who had both a TurboGrafx and a Sega Genesis, so playing at his house was my first introduction to both of those systems. He only had a few TurboGrax games, Bonk’s Adventure and a couple others I have no memory of because we almost never played it since the Genesis just seemed better in every conceivable way.
oops — I remember one kid had it at my school and he would always try and tell us how bonk was better than Mario or sonic. No one believed him. Even in high school we would remind him of his bad taste on the playground.

Community Couch Questions:
Flightsy — Community Couch question: on last week’s podcast you were talking about how the Pokémon franchise hasn’t changed much, and that it releasing a game almost every year was decreasing the quality of each game. I noticed that the Kirby franchise also doesn’t change much, and releases games almost every year. Yet, it doesn’t get as much derision as the Pokémon franchise. What do you think the difference is?

Community Questions: GrimLeaper Anyone have any thoughts/insight/information on Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls? I tried the Contra game on iOS and wasn’t feeling it. (It has been confirmed for iOS, tvOS, and Mac, and the release date is listed as 'soon')
Ashewalked You've probably already talked about something like this but one question that comes to mind is this: As a kid, I grew up playing the Sega Genesis and one of my favorite games was Streets of Rage (especially 2). The recent release of Streets of Rage 4 was so so good and I couldn't be happier with the results. They gave me a modern take on the genre but in a way that respected and called back to the originals in so many ways. What is a retro game or series you would like to see return with a faithful sequel like Streets of Rage 4?
Mechadragon101M what's a game that you grew up with that not alot of other people free up with or others didn't like?
Dan @didyouknowgamin called the PS2 "possibly one of the greatest consoles to ever grace the market" Now, it's no secret that I'm pretty down on the console. Just my opinion. But can anyone name something about the PS2 that would warrant this title BESIDES it's lifetime sales?
Solo Something I am curious how do you all balance your game time between the retro games each of you pick up each month with the Switch games that come out?

Question of the week Nicktendo (burgerbuns gamer): Do ya'll prefer emulation over original hardware when PLAYING games? I’ve noticed this year that Ive leaned more to emulating even though I own the hardware of the game. Maybe it’s the dad in me thinking I dont have time to hook everything up and troubleshoot if something doesnt work lol

Questions
ElPeeDee (Liam D) not sure if this fits for a community couch but putting here in case anyone has any similar experiences... so I FINALLY beat the 1st Resident Evil game (HD remake on Switch). In the past I've beaten RE2 on 64, RE4 on Gamecube, Code Veronica on Dreamcast, and Revelations on Wii U. I'm glad I did it, it's something I've been meaning to play for a while. unlike those other games, I don't think I'll ever play RE1 again. there is just too much about it that seemed dumb/cheap, that I ultimately used a guide for the final 1/3 of the game I currently own it for Gamecube, the DS remake (which lists for ~100$) and the digital Switch version. I'm thinking of selling at least the DS copy, if not the GC one as well. TL; DR does anyone else have similar experiences where they finally played a backlog game theyve collected for a while and ultimately decided that they would sell that game after finishing it?

What's your favorite RetroLogic memory from this season? What game did we inspire you to get into? Where is Polterguest going now that he's exiting this mortal plane?
Flightsy My favorite RetroLogic memory from this season was when Dan trash talked Garfield, and then everyone on the server decided to never let him live that down. You inspired me to get back into Mario Vs DK Mini Land Mayhem (even tho no one joined me ). Polterguest will change their name to Polterlistener, and just lurk around the discord

-Our experience with the game -Legacy - (creating a genre?)
Community Couch 1:12:10 @txTrey Guys I've never played super Metroid more than an hour because I got stuck and gave up. I've beaten dread, fusion, and returns remake. Should I walk or run into playing super Metroid? Does it do anything better than the games that came after it? Or was it remarkable for being the first of the great Metroid games?
Dan - RetroLogic — 04/07/2024 5:29 PM I play it for the first time ever a few years ago and it's undoubtedly one of my favorite games of all time now.
BUT I didn't play it without some help. There are a few points in the game where what you need to do next is unintentionally opaque. I own the paper guide so I limited myself to that. But if you get stuck, just look it up.
The game is amazing and 100% worth playing.
OctoRock_1982 — 04/07/2024 6:05 PM As an adult with normal adult responsibilities, there are plenty of retro games that will give you a much more enjoyable experience using a guide when you don’t have endless childhood summers and afternoons filled with nothing but free time to explore every single pixel of a game.

1 If this is your first time playing Price Is Retro, here’s how we play. I’m going to list off 4 or 5 games and everyone has to guess how much the lot is worth in total. Whoever is closest to the actual value wins that round! Everyone has a list and everyone guesses on each other's list. At the end, the player that won the most rounds wins the episode! But watch out for the robot Deus Guess Machina! He averages all of our guesses together for his own guess

Retro Rewind
Question of the week 16bitnomad — Got a good question for everyone…what’s your biggest pet peeve about buying retro games?? (Other than the price!!!) Mine has to be the placement of pricing stickers. They can be placed on the cartridge artwork, over another sticker on a case, not even be a sticker but a marker, and it just drives me up the wall. I will pick up some retro stuff and when I get home the first thing I do is break out a razer blade and the alcohol and go to cleaning.
twodollarhero — if I can’t trust a store to authenticate their product, don’t gripe at ME for wanting to authenticate it before I buy. I’ve straight up brought a triwing with me into a shop before to ask if I could authenticate a cart before buying. If you’re confident that you’re selling authentic games, what’s the problem?
SpiderShan — It’s not a huge thing in the grand scheme of things but my pet peeve is buying a game or system online and receiving it really dusty/dirty. Like, can’t you at least drag a cloth across it to remove a little dust?!? Outdated prices on games that they look prices up on once they’re brought up to the register. Nothing will make me walk out faster. I used to spend summer Saturdays biking to garage sales around my city to look for games, but in the last 4-5 years it's gotten insane with resellers, craigslist hawks, and ravenous collectors buying up anything worthwhile literally as soon as they open.
