Do you remember Super Adventure Island? Maybe I'm the only one... This week I'm joined by Ashton Ruby to revisit one of Hudson Soft's most successful franchises. Are flashy graphics and a bumpin' soundtrack enough to carry cookie cutter game play? It might be a good game but "Super" doesn't always guarantee a classic.

This week we are talking about one of the most striking and divisive games of the early 90's, Out of This World! Coury Carlson and I dive into the cinematic presentation, trial and error game design, and the challenges of porting the game to the Super Nintendo.

This week I'm talking about off-brand Mario, Mario Is Missing! What began as an earnest attempt at broadening the Mario brand turns into a case study of confused design that has no interest in valuing your time. I break down why this game fails as both a learning tool and as a video game and how the marketing doomed it before it even hit store shelves.

One of the foundations of the "beat em up" genre, I'm tackling Capcom's Final Fight! Not the arcade but the ambitious yet deeply compromised Super Nintendo port.

2025 comes to a close with my Top 10 Game of the Year breakdown. I revisit my mid year rankings and reflect on how my tastes shifted over the course of the year. From surprise indie standouts and retro revisits to one all consuming obsession, it is a year that certainly defined me as a "Gamer".

It's Game of the Year season once again, and the panel from last year's Symposium returns to finish what we started. Matt Storm, Eric Gess, Kade Call, and Phil Morgan join me for a 2.5 hour deep dive into how GOTY conversations have (or haven't) changed over the past year. We dig into the flood of new releases, the strange rules around what "counts," and the ongoing dominance of exclusives. It's a thoughtful, funny, and honest look at why we still care about celebrating the games we love.

BIG MONEY! BIG PRIZES! I LOVE IT! In this episode of The Main Quest, I team up once again with SeekYeWisdom to dive into Super Smash TV, Williams' hyper violent, game show inspired twin-stick shooter that set the tone for arcade excess in the early '90s. We unpack how Smash TV connects to the DNA of Mortal Kombat and Robotron 2084, and how its mix of satire, capitalism, and gore made it a cult classic. We compare it to the arcade original, and debate how well the console version translates without true twin sticks.

What's left to say about Super Mario World? I'm finally doing the damn thing with returning guest Eric Gess (The Unlockables, 9 To 5 Bears). Instead of regurgitating the same analysis, we break the game down by "worlds", exploring its timeless design, hidden secrets, and why it still feels perfect decades later. We're heavy on the nostalgia, dumb jokes, and a few spicy takes on why Mario 3 might not actually be the king.

On today's Patron selected episode I'm discussing one of the most beloved Game Boy Advance titles. Golden Sun has a lot going for it and is Camelot Software's golden child but is it everything it's cracked up to be? Should it have been a Gamecube game? Does it need a remake?

Cecil may have a redemption arc, but the rest of the party is completely irredeemable... Matt Storm is back, and we're talking about the first 16-bit Final Fantasy!

We're officially off to the....races! Matt Storm (Fun & Games/Reignite) returns for the start of SNES coverage as we take a high-speed dive into F-Zero, Nintendo's flashy, futuristic racer. We break down its roots as a Mode 7 tech demo, the absence of two-player, and why it still kind of rules despite being brutally unfair. We dig into Captain Falcon's bounty hunting origins, a quick dunk on Final Fantasy XVI, and an earnest longing for the return of real ass game manuals. Fretless/Date Everything!

Before diving into the Super Nintendo library, I'm taking a moment to reflect on what the console meant to me growing up. From moving into a new home and finding my first real friends, to renting games based on box art and falling in love with RPG's.

This week I team up with Ginger and Willie from Grand Rapidians Play Video Games for a chaotic Power Hour sendoff to the Sega Genesis.
