Released on the one year anniversary of the Super Famicom in Japan, The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods arrived in the USA and Europe as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past in 1992. Returning the to the oblique, top-down perspective of the original The Legend of Zelda, the third game in the franchise - actually a prequel (hence the name) - set many of what would become the series' trademarks in stone. Leon, Josh, Ryan and Triforce-tattooed guest Leah Haydu (@Improbable42) - along with the Cane and Rinse community - revisit one of the Super Nintendo's best-selling and seemingly most beloved games.

Street Fighter Zero (Alpha) series – Cane and Rinse No.207 Feb 07, 2016

Show notes

After the Street Fighter II series finally came to its end but before The New Generation's 2007 Street Fighter III debut, Capcom brought us... a whole ton of SF-related stuff: The 'Versus' series, a puzzle game, a kawaii spin-off, some chunky EX polygons, lots of Marvel stuff and the fun horror of the Vampire/Darkstalkers titles. But running throughout and ultimately overlapping this period came a prequel trilogy (plus multiple variants of course) of fondly-remembered, Anime-infused one-on-one fighting games, the Street Fighter Zero (aka Street Fighter Alpha) series. Leon and James are joined by Andi Hamilton of Midnight Resistance and Dan Bendon of Ready Up to reminisce about the joys of air-blocking, Alpha Counters and Isms. Music used in this issue: Track 1: Street Fighter Alpha 2 intro (arrange version) by Tatsuro Suzuki/Syun Nishigaki Track 2: Simple Rating (Theme of Karin) by Hideki Okugawa Cane and Rinse 207 was edited by Ryan Hamann

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link – Cane and Rinse No.204 Jan 17, 2016

Show notes

In the second of our seventeen (!) planned The Legend of Zelda podcasts, we tackle notoriously tough 'odd man out', Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Indeed, the game's excessive difficulty put paid to planned panellists Josh and Sean, leaving Leon, Darren, Ryan - and not forgetting a wonderful heap of community contributions - to attempt to adequately convey the experience of playing through Nintendo's second Famicom/NES Zelda title. Music used in this issue: Track 1: Title by Akito Nakatsuka Track 2: Temple by Akito Nakatsuka Cane and Rinse 204 was edited by Sean O'Brien
