Ep.530 – SAG Episode 530: The Scarlet Rot
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris talk about the double feature of Nintendo Directs that happened earlier in the week. Everything announced at both the Indie Showcase and the Partner Showcase will be detailed, scrutinized, and celebrated! How excluded were the guys about the Castlevania Dominus Collection? How amazing does Capcom fighting Collection 2 look? What are Morsels? How tall is Pizza Tower? All will be revealed! At the top of the show, it was Dean’s birthday! He decided to spend it talking to Dan and Kris about a weird rash on his hands. Apparently he’s allergic to certain Xbox controllers. Dan continued to deal with his cancer treatments, and got a big ol’ surprise from some of our listeners. (You know who you are!) And Kris got to spend some time with the upcoming Atari game Yars Rising, entered the world of online newspaper scans, tried to fix his dryer, and wrestled a basketball hoop. Finally, in Week Old News, Concord is unsurprisingly having a hard finding an audience. Apparently trying to ape Guardians of the Galaxy and Overwatch 5 years too late is a bad way to spend millions of dollars. Who knew? Plus, Activision continues to be the worst after it’s discovered they canceled a Crash/Spyro crossover game because Crash 4 didn’t sell a trillion copies, Argonaut is back with a fresh remaster of Croc, Sonic 3 gets a Keanu-filled trailer, and more.

Ep.529 – SAG Episode 529: Not Since the Navy
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan is back! He and Kris tackled the August 10 20 30 40, where there were soe absolutely killer months for platforms like PlayStation 2 and 3DS, but they weren't alone! Gamecube had Pikmin 2, Game Boy Advance had Astro Boy: The Omega Factor, PS3 got the P.T. Demo, and of course, GALLEON! The next big thing from the creator of Lara Croft! That was a big deal… right?      At the top of the show, Dan regales Kris with his tales of chemotherapy. This being Dan, nothing went as planned, and a great amount of hijinks ensued. As a result though, he didn’t get around to playing many games. He did manage to watch all of Kris’s Archeology videos though, because he’s a nice guy! Meanwhile, Kris continued to get over Covid, played through Zelda II because it’s awesome, and planned a Minecraft birthday party for his son.       Finally, in Week Old News, SuperMario Maker comes to the Super NES, Eternal Champions is getting made into a major motion picture for some reason, the GameCube gets a new ODE option, and more.

Ep.528 – SAG Episode 528: Mid-August is Business Card Holder Season
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dean fills in for Dan, joining Kris for this month’s Alphabet Soup-er Series! It was Kris’s pick for the letter O and he went with the marble rolling wonder On the Ball for Super NES. It’s an odd game for sure, with some zany music and completely unhinged “cinematic” cutscenes, but is it a good time? How much better does it perform when coupled with the Super NES Mouse? Let’s find out! At the top of the show, Dean has some dog troubles as he works on getting his new house built, but he still finds time to dive into Steamworld Heist 2. Meanwhile, Kris got Covid, so he had an absolutely miserable week of coughing, sweating, and feeling like death, but also found the time to figure out his ongoing TV situation, play the new Doom releases, the new Vampire Survivors DLC, among other things. Finally, in Week Old News, Limited Run announces a frankly insane new version of Doom for Super NES, Borderlands crashes and burns at the box office, Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition for Sega Genesis gets patched, and more.

Ep.527 – SAG Episode 527: Why Wold Anyone Do this?
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris chat with programmer Rumbleminze! He’s been working on porting NES games to theSuper NES. Why would anyone do this? Well, turns out there’s a number of really interesting reasons, and they discuss all of them ad nauseum. They also talk about Kid Icarus a LOT. Because Kid Icarus is awesome. At the top of the show, Dan has a heck of a week ahead of him, what with his treatments starting soon. But in far less important news, Kris needs YET ANOTHER new toaster, and spends way too much time complaining about how crappy new televisions are. Also, he spent some time with his friends testing out the 8-player mode in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, and the results were interesting to say the least! Finally, in Week Old News, GameStop continues to be the worst, some crazy person put a CRT into a Game Boy, Everybody 1-2 Switch inexplicably tops the Australian charts, and more. Enjoy!

Ep.526 – SAG Episode 526: SAG Cartoon Express - In Search of the King
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan, Kris, and Dean climb aboard the SAG Cartoon Express to discuss the Captain N: The Game Master episode “In Search of the King.” Why is the King SO MUCH older than his daughter? How the heck did he get stuck in the Mirror Dimension in the first place? Why is everything in this show credited to Nintendo? So many questions, and so few answers. At the top of the show, Dan finally gets his diagnosis, and has a plan of attack. Dean gets kicked out of his apartment, but gets a new house in the process, or at least the promise of a new house, and Kris gets a new TV, and can’t figure out how to make it not look like garbage. Meanwhile, Dan starts working through the Castlevania series in chronological order, and Dean and Kris played some games too, but none as interesting as Castlevania. Finally, in Week Old News, more layoffs hit Bungie, GameStop tries to drive home the importance of physical media while unceremoniously canceling their physical magazine, Minecraft meets Tetris, an unreleased Lemmings arcade port gets a cabinet, and more.

Ep.525 – SAG Episode 525: The 10 20 30 40 for July 2024
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris attack the 10 20 30 40 with renewed vim and vigor! Yes, preparations were made to try and streamline the process and hopefully make the segment more entertaining and less Kris reading lists while trying to stay awake. The bad news is, very little of note came out this month on any platforms. EXCEPT a Sega CD game with a fantastic title that’s hard to ignore. At the top of the show, Dan frustratingly didn’t hear back about his biopsy, but he did manage to beat Metroid Dread with a level of ease that positively infuriated Kris. Also there was some new stuff happening in Marvel Snap. Meanwhile, Kris pontificates on the joys of dealing with internet folks who have a loose grip on what facts are, and watches his kids enjoy the Nintendo World Championships far more than he expected! That new Rocket Knight collection is pretty snazzy too. Finally, in Week Old News, the creator of Save Me Mr. Tako has a new game on Kickstrater that looks rad as heck, there’s some long awaited movement on the Trogg Tech N64 Shells front, Nintendo strips Splatoon winners of their prizes and notoriety, AI continues to be used to steal from actual artists, and a whole lot more.

Ep.524 – SAG Episode 524: Alphabet Soup-er Series: Ninja Gaiden (Master System)
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris finally get back to the Alphabet Soup-er Series with Ninja Gaiden for sEga Master System. This is NOT the same game as Ninja Gaiden for NES, or Ninja Gaiden the arcade game, or Ninja Gaiden for Game Gear. This is completely different, but somehow also not? It’s certainly an interesting experience, but is it a good one? Listen on to find out! At the top of the show, Dan finally got a biopsy done, and then came right onto the show post-surgery, because he loves you! He also spent a bunch of time playing more Metroid games, and got back into Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, because he was just having so much fun watching The Acolyte! Meanwhile, Kris gives his impressions of Rocket Knight Re-Sparked, Satyrn DX, and Nintendo World Championships NES Edition. He also beat Mega Man X for funsies, and got a new record player. Finally, in Week Old News, the former head honcho of ScrewAttack decides to create what he’s calling The Real Game Awards, Aero the Acrobat gets re-released all by itself for some reason, a bunch of unlocalised Starfy games show up on NSO, Gimmick 2 looks great, and more!

Ep.522 – SAG Episode 522: SAG Cartoon Express - Misadventure of Mighty Plumber
On this week’s podcast, Dan, Kris, and Dean board the SAG Cartoon Express for a visit to the classic animated series The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. This wretched cartoon pits everyone’s favorite plumbers against King Koopa’s neweast ally, Mighty Plumber, A TV Action hero that he somehow tricks into thinking Mario and Luigi are the bad guys. It's terrible, but is it at least fun? What exactly are the logistics of the windows in this show? Why are there surf rock songs sung by the Koopa Kids? Who knows? At the top of the show, Dan’s health concerns continue, but he’s at least a few steps closer to getting answers. While he navigates the US healthcare system, he’s playing through all the mainline Metroid games, or at least he would be if he could find his copy of Samus Returns. Meanwhile, Dean spent some quality time with some Vampire Survivors-like games, Castle Crashers, and Another Crab’s Treasure, which is apparently a lot tougher than it sounds. Kris, though, spent a ton of time with NSO, playing through Cobra Triangle, stressing out over Wario’s Woods, and actually enjoying Donkey Kong Jr. Math?!? Finally, in Week Old News, chair tossing finds its way into the competitive Mortal Kombat scene, an old Satellaview promotional VHS gets remastered in HD, someone tries to sell The Guy Game at TooManyGames, and more.

Ep.521 – SAG Episode 521: The 10 20 30 40 for June 2024
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the June 10 20 30 40! What notable games were released in June 2014, 2004, 1994, and 1984? Was this yet another wretched month of bland releases, or were there a few gems worth DIGGING up? Why yes, that was a Shovel Knight reference! There were actually several great releases this time around, including Saturday Night Slam Masters, Donkey Kong for Game Boy, the Frolfing joys of Ribbit King, and more! At the top of the show, Dan’s health concerns get all the more frustrating, as he still doesn’t know the extent of what’s wrong with him. Hopefully we find answers soon. But on the plus side, he spent some time dusting his massive action figure collection! Meanwhile, Kris got a new outdoor pizza oven for his birthday, created a live-action Among Us game for his kids to play, and spent some quality time with Super Mega Zero. Finally, in Week Old News, Capcom is still making money from that wonderful/terrible Street Fighter movie, Atari 50 gets a bunch of new content, someone calling himself Dr. Disrespect gets in trouble, and more.

Ep.520 – SAG Episode 520: Not E3 Recap Part 3
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris conclude their coverage of the summer games extravaganza they lovingly refer to as Not E3! This time around, Nintendo hit it big with their June Direct, including a number of big surprises like a new Mario & Luigi, Zelda starring Zelda, and Metroid Prime 4. Atooi also farted out a rather unimpressive Hatch Tales deepdive, Limited Run got weird with this year’s LRG3, and Sunsoft made a 6 minute presentation about 3 games. Which was certainly a choice. At the top of the show, Dan still doesn’t have news about his ongoing health issues, but he did manage to be stressed about it all week! So instead of playing games, he talked about the trials and tribulations of being a toy collector. Meanwhile, Kris celebrated his birthday week with some delicious food, Game Boy Mega Man games, and the glory that is Shovel Knight Dig. . Finally, in Week Old News, FromSoftware decides NOT to fire a bunch of people, a bunch of long thought lost games resurface for various platforms, someone has decided to port Doom II to Super NES, and more.

Ep.519 – Not E3 Recap Week 2
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris continue their coverage of the summer games extravaganza they lovingly refer to as Not E3! This time around, they have a crazy number of showcases to break down, including the Future of Play Direct, Women Led Games Show, Ubisoft Forward, and honestly way too many more. So their summaries of many were cut a bit short because there’s just now ay to cover THAT many games. They did, however, dedicate the appropriate amount of time to the biggest show of the week, the Xbox Games Showcase. After Sony’s lackluster showing earlier this month, was Microsoft able to make the best of their time in the spotlight? Just how manly is Joanna Dark’s jawline? (Hint: the internet is full of goons). What other amazing games will we all be looking forward to? Let’s find out!     At the top of the show, Dan gives us another update on his ongoing health issues, including numerous bouts of frustration with an inability to get actual answers. Meanwhile, Kris spent the week frustrated and tired. So good times were had all around! Oh, and then there’s this dreadful song that his son has been listening to, and now you have to as well.     Finally, in Week Old News, the first North American Nintendo commercial may have been unearthed, the PC gaming community continues to be as impressive as they are fast, a Kickstarter for a new NWC cartridge gets unsurprisingly shut down, a woman is arrested for smuggling an absurd number of Switch games in her bra, and more.

Ep.518 – SAG Episode 518: Not E3 Recap Week 1
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris are unfortunately not joined by Dean for th Cartoon Express because of dogs. (No really, there were dogs involved). But fortunately, there’s a metric ton of new game news to talk about! That's right, it’s officially Not E3 season, and this week was host to a crazy amount of new game announcements that warrant discussion. How did Geoff Keighley’s soulless Summer Game Fest do? How did we not know about the annual Homebrew showcase? Why in the world would Kris be excited about the Power Rangers? Listen on to find out! At the top of the show, Dan updates everyone on his health situation, and what his impending diagnosis could mean for him, while Kris talks about the joys of taking his daughter to her first baseball game. There's also a lot of talk about Star Wars and Doctor Who, because Dan and Kris are nerds. Finally, in Week Old News, a bunch of stolen Playdates find their way home in unusual fashion, Google is responsible for a bunch ofNintendo leaks, Hatch Tales is delayed AGAIN, and Twitter continues to be a foul place full of grifters trying to profit off anger and hate. Gross. Enjoy!

Ep.517 – SAG Episode 517: What Games Came Out in May 1984, 1994, 2004, and 2014?
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris tackle the May 10 20 30 40, where they look back at notable game releases from 10, 20, 30, and 40 years ago this month. But these last few entries haven’t been all that spectacular overall. Will this month be any different? Will the PS2 or Intellivision save the day, or will a baby of mundane releases suck all the fun out of things yet again? We’ll find out! At the top of the show, Dan gets hit with a sudden bout of hypochondria, but still has time to play some rounds of Balatro. Meanwhile, Kris had a Memorial Day party and finally got to play a proper local 6-player match of Shredder’s Revenge, plus some classic Wii Sports and X-Men arcade. He also gives his less than stellar impressions of Lunar Lander Beyond. Finally, in Week Old News, it’s Not-E3 season, and Sony andMArvelout Entertainment kicked things off with some… well they certainly were game showcases. State of Play lacked farming simulations because Marvelous had them all, Astro makes a fantastic-looking comeback, and Silent Hill 2 looks kind of off. Also, more gross gamer discourse online, people are modding CRTs, Legend of Zelda LEGOs are officially a thing, and a whole lot more! Enjoy!

Ep.516 – Talking With The Immortal John Hancock
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris were joined by The Immortal John Hancock! John was nice enough to come on the show and chat all about his YouTube channel, how he got started, his love of retro games, and more. He also went into the process of publishing his Atari 2600 physical and digital games, and was genuinely a nice fella. What a guy! At the top of the show, all three of our hosts went on about just how difficult it is to find time to play games when there’s all this “adulting” to do! But Dan did manage to find his regular time for Marvel Snap and PAD, while Kris and John talked about their time with Goliath Depot, a great indie game with a frankly terrible name. Finally, in Week Old News, Atari buys Intellivision, while IGN basically buys the internet. Minecraft celebrates 15 years of being an insanely popular blocky mess, Activision threatens to open a new studio to close in a year or two, Super Mario 64 sees a couple of crazy breakthroughs, and a whole lot more!

Ep.514 – SAG Episode 514: The Best Super NES Soundtracks Part 1
Show Notes Tales of Kenzera Zau On this week’s podcast, May-nia has returned! This year’s topic is Super NES soundtracks, and Dan is making Kris make some dreadful decisions. He’s plugged IGN’s best SNES games of all time list into a tournament-style bracket system and is making Kris choose which ones he likes best. Round one had some easy choices in there, but set up some truly dreadful decisions to be made next week. How will he choose? HOW??? At the top of the show, Kris got back into Horizon Chase 2 for a bit, enjoyed the heck out of the new Vampire Survivors DLC, and absolutely hated, HATED, Knights of the Old Republic. He was also fortunate enough to get his hands on Goliath Depot, a new arcade-style action game all about closing doors. It’s great! Meanwhile, Dan went on and on about Marel Snap for a bit, but also got to spend some quality time with Tales of Kenzera Zau, a new exploratory adventure game that just so happens to be really freaking cool! Finally, in Week Old News, Pokemon Go players are inventing beaches, Nintendo and Capcom are making absurd amounts of money by not trying to make all of the money, Sony gets bullied into being slightly less awful about the whole Helldivers 2 situation, and Dan and Kris weigh in on the big Microsoft studio closures of the week.

Ep.513 – SAG Episode 513: Alphabet Soup-er series - Montezuma’s Return
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris get together for a new entry in the Alphabet Soup-er Series. For Kris’s pick, he went with Montexuma’s Return for Game Boy Color as his M game, and well, it didn’t go so well. Does this deeply flawed GameBoy game have any redeeming qualities? Why did Kris find it so charming? What does this all have to do with Diarrhea? Let’s find out! At the top of the show, Dan and Kris fall into a Star Wars hole thanks to the return of Episode I in theaters, while Dan has a hard time focusing. Kris was exhausted from three whole days of yard work, but did he find time to play anything other than Dadish 3D? PRobably not, but who knows? Finally, in Week Old News, a cool new Kickstarter launches about Lady Death, Vampire Survivors continues to be the gift that keeps on giving, and Nintendo has RUTHLESSLY CENSORED Paper Mario… or have they???? And of course, there’s the whole Limited Run Games CD-R debacle. How do the fellas feel about it? Listen on to find out. Enjoy!

Ep.512 – SAG Episode 512: Cartoon Express: Sonic the Hedgehog - No Brainer
Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris climb aboard the SAG Cartoon Express to discuss another classic Sonic the Hedgehog episode, but not THAT Sonic the Hedgehog show. The OTHER Sonic show that was airing at the same time, which was just called Sonic the Hedgehog. Not confusing at all! Anyway, the episode was called No Brainer, and it certainly was an episode of a TV show. But was it better than The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog? How did Sonic survive after eating a chili dog from a vending machine in a sewer? Who put that vending machine there in the first place? We may never know. At the top of the show, Kris explains why he was sick for most of the week, and why he wound up freezing cold, watching The Flash on his phone on the floor of the local mall. Meanwhile, Dan had to drive extreme distances for a combination of hospital visits and specialized chicken finger restaurants. Meanwhile, Cave Story is still excellent, Dadish 3D delivers hot Dadish action in 3 dimensions, Pokemon Scarlet is exactly as janky as everyone said, and more! Finally, in Week Old News, Tomb Raider has been CENSORED by the woke agenda!!! OR HAS IT?!? Sensationalist headlines would have you believe it was a nefarious plot to suck all the joy out of viewing tiny, out of focus JPEGs of a hyper-polygonal Lara Croft, but is there more to the story? Plus, Infogrames is back (and still hard to pronounce), an interview about the Tetris CD-i soundtrack is saved, Nintendo 64 NSO gets a rather bizarre update, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!

Show Notes On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris dive into what can only be described as the most unbelievably dull 10-20-30-40 in the show’s history. That is, of course, until they get to the 30, where both the Super NES and Sega Genesis had some absolutely stellar months featuring the likes of Streets of Rage 3, King of Dragons, and Super Metroid. But just how bland were the rest of the decades? Did the Wii U actually have the best release of the month? Let’s find out! At the top of the show, Dan had some adventures in water heating this week when his existing heater broke, and the joys of trying to fix/replace it commenced! Meanwhile, Kris started watching Fallout, finished his Dadish replays, and enjoyed the exploits of a turnip committing tax evasion. Finally, in Week Old News, Hallmark revealed their awesome new gaming-themed holiday ornaments, a variation of the Konami Code was discovered in everyone’s least-favorite Castlevania game, Nintendo’s latest Indie World showcase left Dan unimpressed and Kris delighted, and a whole lot more!
