The people behind Sonic Mania surprise released their new game last week. We've had Sonic fresh on the mind lately, so this couldn't be better for us. Hunter, EJ, and Matt binged the game so that we couldn't finally feel like real video game journalists and be one of the first people talking about this incredible new 3D Platformer. Is this the kind of new blood the genre needs or is this just nostalgia-bait? Surely you already know the answer...

This was originally billed as a Patreon only episode so that we could finally sell out, but we haven't worked out all of the kinks to having a Patreon only feed AND our normal episode for this week is running late so we figured we would just give it to you all! So here's Matt, Hunter, and EJ talking about Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to build up to the Sonic 3 episode from a few weeks ago!

We're too excited for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. But more importantly, we haven't been sure what to do when the game comes out because it might be a large amount of time before we've all played the game to completion and we don't want to keep you all waiting! Thankfully, SquareEnix put out a demo of the game and we can talk about some first impressions! Hunter and Sun have already played it and have a lot to say, as well as general speculation about the "Switch 2."

Full spoilers for the entire game this week as Hunter and Sun sit down for a conversation about how much they love this controversial 2020 title remastered for the Playstation 5. Haters beware! Discussion of the original game will follow shortly as a patron only bonus episode. This episode had some audio problems that we had to make peace with so think of it as a simulation of the way this game makes you feel which is pretty rough. Also the first half hour is mostly us talking about last week's State of Play event so check that out if you don't like this game!

It's been a long time since we've had a chance to talk about the blue hedgehog. And on this show we really have never even talked about the "good" Sonic games, so consider this episode LONG overdue. You can join our Patreon to hear a bonus episode about Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but this is the 30th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, so we've got to talk about the game that introduced us to Knuckles before we get to play AS him later this year!

NINJA PODCAST! This week we're celebrating the 30th Anniversary of THE NINJA WARRIORS. Sneaky vibes on this one as we punch, jump, and crouch our way through a conversation-duel over this SNES underappreciated classic. Don't like it? Beat-Us-Up.

Join us as we begin the true process of exploring a 30th anniversary retrospective of the games on 1994. Mega Man X released in North America on January 19, 1994 to a significant amount of anticipation. A renowned series on NES, this was it's long awaited 16-bit upgrade! Let's see what people at the time had to say and discuss how it feels to play in 2024.
