    Gamers are debating the best generational leap. I would say the Saturn to Dreamcast was a pretty big jump, 128 bit, online gaming, PC engine gaming, arcade perfection. Others argue that the jump from GBA to PSP will never happen again in our time. I would consider the Wii to Switch if Nintendo didn't make a WiiU

    DOS to Steam lol?

    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.
    Based on Yoot’s latest hobby of sculpting chunks of metal and him chatting about it with Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata

    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



    Other Picks:

    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.

    The Price Is Retro

    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

    E3 is going away



    A little history:

    First E3 expo in 1995

    Early troubles, 1996 saw Sony do it’s own playstation expo and sega pull out at last minute

    Held in Atlanta Georgia 1997 and 1998

    Flirted with smaller scale event in 2007 and 2008

    Reverted to larger format, increasing emphasis on being open to the public, not just industry insiders

    2020 cancellation

    Dead?

    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,
    Now after 100%-ing the game multiple times and beating all the staff ghosts, GX provides a catharsis and a sense of mastery that other racing games simply can't compete with. Everything else feels so pedestrian in comparison. It's gaming in its purest, most intense form and I love it.



    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.

    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.

    Community Couch Question:

    You can only exclusively play one of these niche genres for the whole year of 2023. Which one do you play? (Also assumes that you can get the hardware and software to achieve the goal)

    A) Puzzle Solving first Person games B) Kinect and PS Move motion games C) Tetris, Columns and Puyo type puzzles D) Kart racers based on cartoon and movie franchises E) Any game based on a Shonen Jump license

    Presto

    What's your biggest gaming pet peeve? Mine is people calling it "Kirby and the forgotten lands" instead of "Kirby and the Forgotten Land"

    Question for both Retro and Film Logic: If you were forced to choose, would you rather make the world lose 15 years of Video games (the newest games you see will be from 15 years ago) or lose 15 years of movies?

    For important reasons: What’s your best pickup line?



    @SpiderShan

    Question for the show: if you could bring back any now defunct developer who would you choose and what game would you want them to make?
