I just pick him in sports and Smash titles. So when I was looking for a short game to help bridge the gap between longer game reviews, I saw the OG WarioWare on Switch Online and decided to roll the dice. And what a great decision that was. WarioWare Inc: Mega Microgames for the GBA is fucking fantastic!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We planned to revisit Halo: Combat Evolved this week, but I decided to call an audible and give it a quick replay first. So to buy me a few days, here's my review of Halo Infinite's campaign from a few years ago. Back next week!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We'll be back with a standard RTG next week, but for now here's an episode of Expansion Pass from 2024 here I ranked every game we covered on Remember The Game from episodes 201- 300. Enjoy (I hope).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From a polish standpoint, I think it does for sure. But personally? Ehhhh....Prime 2 is objectively a well made game. The polish is there, great story, graphics, soundtrack, exploration. It splits the game's map into 2 distinct worlds, and on paper that's a great idea (as Link To The Past proves). But in execution it seems to be little more divisive. And while some people love this game, I found the maps and dark world equal parts brilliant and frustrating as fuck.My guest this week is our resident Metroid junkie, Stpd Mnky. He's the biggest Samus fan I know, and we went for an hour talking the lights and darks of Samus vs Samus, and discussed whether or not we think this game surpasses its predecessor.And before we morph into balls, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week someone asks for advice on being a creator when you run into setbacks? Do I ever just game for FUN anymore? And why don't I like Majora's Mask??Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 GameCube beasts: Super Mario Sunshine, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Super Smash Bros. Melee.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This game's pretty sick.If you haven't played it, it's a standard sidescrolling shooter/platformer, but with one catch: no jumping. All your platforming is done with a grappling hook. It's a really ambitious concept with a learning curve to be sure, but for the most part I think it works great. Add in a map to explore, a story (kinda) and hitler's exploding head (seriously), and you have yourself a Commando that's Bionic, my friend.My buddy David Rae makes his return to the show this week and we're finally talking the game he's been holding me to play since RTG started. We're getting into the map, the difficulty, the grappling hook adventures, and yes of course, killing Hitler. All par for the course when it comes to the NES.And before we grapple I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week someone asks if RTG will ever join the video podcast ranks? What forgotten series needs a revival next? And am I planning to check out the Virtual Boy games on the Switch 2??Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 NES Capcom games: Mighty Final Fight, Code Name: Viper, and Yo! Noid.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I played half of the first game back in the day, checked out and never came back. So I fired the OG up last week and played most of it, and while I can't call myself a super fan or anything, I'm intrigued to see what comes next with the series.The concept itself is rock solid, and there's some really fun mechanics here. The problem is you use them to do the same 5 things over and over again. I like the idea but I need a bone with some more meat on it.My buddy Andre is my guest this week. He's an Assassin's Creed junkie and I think he made it his mission to make sure I played more of these games down the road. Let's unpack Assassin's Creed's rookie year.And before Ass Creed, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week someone asks if/how I think DS games will ever start showing up on the Switch 2? Are there any games I like ti play just for the world itself? And does the Xbox 360 belong in the "best console library" conversation??Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too!

So this week we're going back to 2001, the flat faced, non-backlit GBA, and the pretty damned good Mario Kart: Super Circuit.I didn't play this one a lot back in the day, but going through it 25 years after launch, I was pretty impressed. It feels like a hybrid of Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64, and for the first ever portable Kart, it's pretty damned solid. Hiding the Super Mario Kart tracks as extra content turned me on a little, too.The Luigi to my (or Mark's) Mark, ye olde Bradley McCue, joins me on the show this week. We had a great time talking Super Circuit and the Mario Kart series as a whole, and I can guarantee y'all is won't be FOUR YEARS before we talk more kart racing!And before we race, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week someone asks what my most anticipated games of 2026 are, I explain what (and briefly answer) the most frequently asked questions I get are, and we talk about the leaps in game tech that blew our minds the most.Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One'!! This one features 3 Mario Karts: Super Mario Kart, Double Dash, and Mario Kart 64.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I knew of the horrible reputation this game had, but I thought there'd be enough meat on the bone to have some fun with this episode and laugh a little at least. But no. There's nothing fun about this game. In fact, The Simpsons Skateboarding is quite possibly the worst game I've ever played.It does a horrible job of lifting the Tony Hawk Pro Skater controls, and then drops them into the most half-assed levels I've ever seen. You clip through walls and constantly get stuck on things. There's no fun landmarks to explore. The objectives are lame. Horrible voice acting. This game is worse than Homer's car.I'm rolling solo this week. I wouldn't subject any of my friends to this pile of shit.And before I choke on my own rage, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week we discuss the idea that Yoshi could be a Pokemon. How would I rank some tough NES games by difficulty? And do I write my games off??Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 retro Simpsons titles: Bart vs The Space Mutants, Virtual Bart, and Simpsons Wrestling.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
