128: Physical DLC Dec 18, 2015

Show notes

Once upon a time games came on physical media. Well, you still can, but now you can download them too. And if that's not enough, you can download MORE game! Well, not any more. Now you need toys to expand your games!
Sean and Vinnk welcome back Zac Shipley of the No Topic Required podcast to talk about Disney Infinity and LEGO Dimensions, how they allows games to be made that might never be standalone titles, and more Retro than usual in Future Retro.

127: Consoles of a Generation Dec 04, 2015

Show notes

Even if you own multiples, everyone has a favorite console for each generation. But how does one choose which to support, when multi-platform releases are a certainty? And can you choose poorly, or otherwise be surprised?
Vinnk and Sean are joined by Game Dave of RetroWare as they journey through 40 years of game console history, and where they fell at each point along the way, plus pile on the shame with the games that they may never play as newer generations replace the current ones.

126: Toys to Life Nov 27, 2015

Show notes

The hiatus is over, and we've played a bunch more games! With titles like LEGO Dimensions jumping on the Toys to Life bandwagon, we start taking a look at some of these games, and take a look back at how Nintendo tried something extremely similar when it brought the NES to the rest of the world 30 years ago.
Sean and Vinnk try to tease out the value of the toys in toy to life games, Sean finally bought Splatoon, and Vinnk explains why sometimes playing on just the GamePad just doesn't cut it.

125: Play Old Games Aug 21, 2015

Show notes

We really can't say this enough or more clearly: play old games. Don't be discouraged because they might look funny, or require text inputs, or don't have voice acting. Play old games. There's an artistry to old games. Which isn't to say modern games aren't art, because clearly that's nonsense, but there is something to be appreciated in a title that made the most of the technology available. Except maybe N64 games. Those haven't aged well.
Vinnk and Sean rail against the idea that old games are either unplayable, or simply aren't worth playing when there's new stuff out there. At particular issue is how game publishers denigrate old games in order to sell new ones. What other industry does that? Except maybe cars. Ignore that one. Also, no shame this week as we bring you all Future Retro! Sean finished Minish Cap, and Vinnk talks about a version of Final Fight you've possibly never heard of and probably never played before.

124: Retro VGS Aug 07, 2015

Show notes

What if a video game system didn't need to connect to the internet for constant software and firmware updates? What if there was no hard drive, and the games were on cartridges? That might sound like a blast from the past, but it's what the aptly-named Retro VGS promises for the future.
Sean and Vinnk welcome Mike Kennedy to talk about the Retro's evolution from a throwback 16-bit system to an infinitely configurable all-in-one platform for modern and vintage gaming.
