Genesis Was What Nintendwasn't - NVC 722 Aug 16, 2024

OK, sure, we can all agree Nintendo did it better in the end, but there was a time there when being a Nintendo kid was tough thanks to the genius marketing and 2-year head-start SEGA had in the 16-bit gaming space. The SEGA Genesis was a really excellent console, and put up a valiant fight against the Super NES during the darkest days of the console wars of the early 1990s. It had a CD-ROM! It had an expansion so you could play 32-bit games! But perhaps most importantly, it had a plucky blue fellow by the name of Sonic. Join Jada Griffin, Seth Macy and special guests Khalilah Alston and Jared Petty as we take a walk down memory lane.

Nintendo Won E3 2024 - NVC 715 Jun 21, 2024

We had what is likely the final "Big" Nintendo Direct of the Switch era, and what a way to go out. Not only was the Direct full of legitimately pleasant surprises, there was enough crammed into its over-40 minutes of length so all but the most curmudgeonly and cynical of Nintendo fans could find something to love. From Mario and Luigi: Brothership, to The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, to the final big "thought we'd never see it" gameplay reveal of Metroid Prime 4, this really was an amazing event.
