Get More Out Of Apple Arcade With Mobile Arcade Club

February 26, 2021 by Chris Johnston

The catalog of Apple Arcade is pretty vast, but you might be spoiled for choice and not know what to play first. Maybe Mobile Arcade Club can help with that. In each installment, hosts Steven and Chris pick one game out of the service's catalog to discuss. This episode, it's Spire Blast—a Boom Blox-style puzzler that released recently, and the hosts discuss the game's design, … [Read more...] about Get More Out Of Apple Arcade With Mobile Arcade Club

A Look At Nintendo’s Pioneering First FMV Arcade Game, Wild Gunman

February 25, 2021 by Chris Johnston

When someone says "Wild Gunman" I think only of the NES Zapper shooter and maybe Back to the Future Part II. I had no idea that years before Dragon's Lair and Mad Dog McCree landed their first tokens, Nintendo made a little FMV arcade gun game called...Wild Gunman. In A Critical Hit's latest video, game historian/preservationist Kate Willaert explores the original game's … [Read more...] about A Look At Nintendo’s Pioneering First FMV Arcade Game, Wild Gunman

10 Minute Gaming Podcast Provides Insights Into Games/Series, Done Quick

February 22, 2021 by Chris Johnston

Some game club podcasts can stretch discussion of a single game into hours of content—and I love it. If you like the game club format but not the length, there is indeed a show for you—it's the 10 Minute Gaming Podcast, from the website 100 Word Gaming. In each episode, host Will Dowell brings on a guest to speak briefly about a favorite game or series, and it's never longer … [Read more...] about 10 Minute Gaming Podcast Provides Insights Into Games/Series, Done Quick

Relive Streetpass And Frankensticks With Retronauts’ Look Back At The Nintendo 3DS

February 19, 2021 by Chris Johnston

The 3DS is hands down my favorite Nintendo handheld ever, despite not liking the 3D effect for most of the system's life (though Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and Link Between Worlds are MUST PLAYS with the 3D on). The system is old enough now that Retronauts is able to do a retrospective on the system and it's a great stroll down memory lane. The bad(?) launch, the ambassador … [Read more...] about Relive Streetpass And Frankensticks With Retronauts’ Look Back At The Nintendo 3DS

Competitive Splatoon Player Jardonian Analyzes The Splatoon 3 Trailer

February 18, 2021 by Chris Johnston

As excited as I am about Mario Golf coming to Switch this year, I am maybe MORE hyped about Splatoon 3. It's been awhile since I played a lot of Splatoon 2 but it is one of my all-time favorite Switch games and I am eagerly anticipating the release of the third game next year. They are probably going to have a Testfire thing for this, right? RIGHT? Probably. In the meantime, I … [Read more...] about Competitive Splatoon Player Jardonian Analyzes The Splatoon 3 Trailer

February 18, 2021 by Chris Johnston

Count me as excited about Mario Golf Super Rush as Nintendo Shack host Donnie is—I am going to spend a lot of time this summer playing that. Probably participating in async online tournaments (as long as this supports that, but it has to, right?). If you are looking for an outlet for your Nintendo Direct hype but because of COVID and social distancing you have had to hold it … [Read more...] about Nintendo Shack Recaps And Reacts To The February 2021 Nintendo Direct

February 15, 2021 by Chris Johnston

Back in the mid-90s, riding high on the success of NBA Jam and NFL Blitz, Midway paired with Golden Tee dev Incredible Technologies for an "extreme" baseball game project called Power-Up Baseball. Until recently that game was lost to time, but the The Video Game History Foundation unearthed a treasure trove of knowledge on the game for an extensive article, and followed it up … [Read more...] about Learn More About Power-Up Baseball On The Video Game History Hour

Paradox Podcast Reveals How They As A Game Publisher Evaluate Pitches/Proposals

February 15, 2021 by Chris Johnston

From a consumer perspective, it's sometimes hard to think that the games coming out today are actually the product of proposals and pitching that happened years prior. Moves that seem reactive to players may have been decided on a long time ago. For more of a window on how a larger game publisher works, take a listen to The Business of Video Games - The Paradox Podcast. Hosts … [Read more...] about Paradox Podcast Reveals How They As A Game Publisher Evaluate Pitches/Proposals

Ted Price And Mark Cerny Talk OG Ratchet & Clank With GameSpot (2002)

February 12, 2021 by Chris Johnston

The announcement of a June 11 release date for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart earlier this week got me a bit nostalgic for the prior entries in the series. I love 3D platformers and the Ratchet series is one of my absolute favorites. Digging through YouTube I found this archived interview GameSpot did with Ted Price and Mark Cerny about the original PS2 game.
