The 90s were dominated by the infamous console wars of Nintendo and SEGA and at the forefront was the rivalry of Super Mario and the Blue Blur, Sonic the Hedgehog.
We dive into 1991’s Sonic the Hedgehog and 1992’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in equal measure.
This month we discover that SEGA does what Ninten Don’t and we do it fast.
That pink ball of ass-kicking known as Kirby is not only the star of a brand new Switch game he’s also turning thirty this year so Rich, Ray, and Eric sit down to discuss Sakurai’s favorite son.
Starting with a special focus on 1992’s Kirby’s Dreamland and 1993’s Kirby’s Adventure but nothing featuring the cosmic god once known as Twinkle Popo is off limits. From humble beginnings at HAL Laboratories to becoming one of the icons of Super Smash Bros. Kirby has seen a lot in his thirty years so let’s get started.
This month we talk all about the PSone classic that not only perfected the Skateboard video game it revitalized skate culture and made Tony Hawk a household name. Eric is out but Rich and Ray delve into the game that not only created one of their favorite genres, it largely shaped their taste in music and holds a hell of a lot of fun memories. From the early days of Top Skate to Tony Hawk’s Underground it’s all covered here.
Keep your guard up because this month the crew is talking about the fighting games that made Capcom an arcade powerhouse and changed the way competitive video games were played forever. The original Street Fighter and the many iterations of Street Fighter II.
