Nintendo when it's not really Nintendo (Episode 2 of 3)

Hunter and Exothermic are back for the second part of our series of episodes covering games that feature Nintendo IP that wasn't made by Nintendo. This week is a mad dash discussion of Super Mario RPG, Star Fox Adventures, and F-Zero GX. It's a fun wide-reaching discussion of these three games of wildly differing levels of quality. Check back next week for the thrilling conclusion!

Playstation Launch Anniversary! (Every US launch game ranked)

The show is back! We've got a new theme song and a whole new style of episode. Expect new weekly episodes going forward but for this first week I've gone solo in celebration of the 30 year US anniversary of my beloved Playstation. This episode is basically just me (Hunter) reading a listicle I wrote ranking the 11 launch titles for the PS1 and even though I have a lot of love for this era of gaming, most of my short blurbs are me making fun of these old games so enjoy that or not, next week I'll be back with something more traditional for you.

2024 Game of the Year Tournament (SEASON FINALE PART 5)

And we're back with another Tournament bracket to determine what is the GOTY for 2024. In this episode the full panel of Matt, Hunter, Sun, and EJ will discuss 16 games and it somehow takes even longer than the 1994 episode took! Next week we'll decide which year was best but for now let's reflect on the year that has just ended and determine where OGA will plant its' flag for which game truly deserves to be crowned the very best. Happy New Year!
