About this episode
In this episode, the hosts discuss the final game in Capcom's 194X series and its unique approach within the series.
In episode 086, MetalFRO and Addicted close out the podcast's Pacific Theater Summer event with the final game in Capcom's 194X series, at least in terms of the timeline. Developed by Raizing for Capcom's CPS-II hardware, this game takes a bit of a left turn from the rest of the series, while still taking inspiration from earlier titles to create a mix of styles. Does it all come together in a strong package, or does it falter under the weight of its ambition? Listen to hear our thoughts, as well as those of the players who joined us!
