Podcasts about Game Boy Advance

BlizzCon 2026 brought a wave of new announcements for Warcraft, Diablo, and more, but did Blizzard deliver? We break down the biggest news from the show, discuss The Last of Us director Bruce Straley's criticism that modern AAA games have become boring, and react to Final Fantasy 7 Revelation potentially taking up a massive 200GB. Plus, Matt dives into the surprisingly impressive first-person shooters of the Game Boy Advance and explains how developers managed to get FPS games running on Nintendo's handheld.

Kiddy Kong fanatic Joy Content returns to the show to discuss the 2005 Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3! Rare's finest final and finest installment in the GBA trilogy, it gave the world a new Brothers Bear, a new boss, an entire new world, and a brand-new soundtrack from David Wise! Learn more about how this handheld river eventually flowed from Rare straight into Retro Studios, setting up an entirely new era of Donkey Kong Country!

Weißt du noch, welche Konsole deine allererste war? Wir reisen zurück in unsere Kindheit und schwelgen in Erinnerungen an zockende Nächte unter der Bettdecke mit dem Game Boy Advance und dem Nintendo DS Lite. Außerdem packt Felix mit dem Intellivision eine völlig absurde 80er-Jahre-Konsole aus, die im Studio sofort für hitzige Multiplayer-Gefechte sorgt.

S2E10 Gotta Catch 'Em All (Bird Pokémon) We recorded this Episode in July and I just haven't gotten around to the edits until now. Chris and I FINALLY sit down to discuss Ruby and Sapphire on the Gameboy Advance. I personally didn't play these games so it was great to get Chris' insight into the new aspects they added into the games, as well as the overall impression of them.   Because I am editing this so much later than the recording, I didn't want to delay things further by adding in a "Checkpoint" section. I'll add the notes here instead: - Chris is correct and Pokémon Crystal was the first game to allow you to be a female protagonist. - Pokémon Contests are really confusing. I feel like my questions didn't totally clear up the process. You enter a Pokémon of your choice into a specific Contest (Cool, Beauty, Tough, etc.). A Pokémon's moves have a specific clearly labeled contest stat and when you use it, the judge and audience reaction derives a score. Different aspects of a Pokémon (like Nature) gave them a starting advantage in the contests along with...Pokeblocks?! While digging into this some more, the contests were quite complicated and confusing for many players. I really enjoyed the description of the Gen 3 contests featured by this Youtuber (alyo) to get a brief grasp of how it all worked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX_UN38vab0&t=58s   - I realized only during editing that I mentioned I like Corsola as a new addition. Corsola was introduced in Gen II (Gold/Silver) and not Gen III. Whoops!

Xbox is testing a new feature that lets players turn supported physical Xbox games into digital entitlements - but what does that mean for physical game ownership? We break down how the new disc-to-digital system works, Xbox's upcoming monthly limits for cloud gaming, and the new option to buy cloud gaming time without Game Pass. Plus, PlayStation is launching free ad-supported live TV on PS5, and this week's Video Game Fun Fact dives into some of the weirdest licensed spinoffs ever released on the Game Boy Advance.

Back in 1988, CBS gave us Garfield: His 9 Lives, an anthology special where our favorite lasagna enthusiast got to be a caveman, a pampered Egyptian god-cat, and an honest-to-goodness astronaut fending off an interstellar war fleet. Ambitious! Mythic, even! Then in 2006, Lucky Jump Games and The Game Factory looked at that legacy, borrowed the exact same title for a Game Boy Advance platformer, and said: actually, what if his nine lives were a farm, a haunted house, a circus, a sewer, a tree, an alley, an obedience school, and a lab? No pyramids. No space combat. Just Garfield, freshly stuffed from an eating binge, suffering eight increasingly damp nightmares about locations you could reach on foot from his own kitchen. Climbing out of Garfield's nightmare to help us survey the damage is Derek B Gayle, who hosts or co-hosts what feels like an ever-multiplying stable of shows including Walloping Websnappers, Gimmicks, Skreeonk!, and, at this point, so many other podcasts that keeping an accurate list may violate several laws of podcast physics. If Garfield hates Mondays, Derek looked at that same feeling and apparently decided the correct response was to start four more podcasts to fill the time. So raid the fridge, settle in for a night you won't remember fondly, and let's find out if Garfield and His Nine Lives earned its spot next to the caveman, the pharaoh, and the astronaut, or if it should've stayed exactly the kind of dream you forget the second your alarm goes off. Learn such things as: Are names of things even really that important? Why would you ever try to save your mortal enemy? Can you be surprised by anything, or anyone, that Garfield runs across? And so much more!

Nintendo had a BIG week! This week on Nintendo Therapy, we're breaking down the leaked Zelda-themed Switch 2 and Pro Controller reportedly celebrating The Legend of Zelda's 40th anniversary, and what the hardware leak could potentially mean for the long-rumored Ocarina of Time remake. We're also talking Pokémon Pokopia passing 5 million copies sold, the upcoming shutdown of Pokémon Bank, and rumors of classic Pokémon games coming to Switch and Switch 2.Plus, Super Mario Sunshine has arrived on Nintendo Classics, giving us another chance to revisit one of the most divisive 3D Mario games.

Released in 2004 as a cautious "Third Pillar" gaming device for Nintendo, The Nintendo DS would go on to outsell the Game Boy Advance. In fact, it became Nintendo's most successful console of any kind until the Switch. Its dual-screen setup allowed for unique display options. The lower touch-enabled screen opened up new control and play possibilities. And it's backwards compatibility with the GBA meant every new DS owner could already have a robust collection that was only going to get better. Matt & Gen are joined by Yorki to discuss the impact of Nintendo's first folding game device since the Game & Watch. They share some of their favorite DS games, compare entry points to classic Nintendo series, and try to not make the whole discussion about RPGs. You can vote for our next console retrospective here!

Today, the original Nokia cell phone is more of a fable than a product, but back in 2003, the cell phone market wasn't yet dominated by a black rectangle, and ingenuity was everywhere.Which is why the former pulp manufacturer Nokia launched the N-Gage, a cellphone/gaming-device combo, in an effort to take down a little-known company called Nintendo.And since you've probably owned a Game Boy or DS at some point in your life and have never heard of the N-Gage, you probably know who came out on top.BUT! If you were one of the few who got this for Christmas instead of a Game Boy Advance, you probably know that it had impressive graphics and a killer game selection.It's just too bad that pretty much every other aspect of it sucked.Check out more from Justin here: justindodd.rocksCheck out more from Steve here: stevejhward.comdrinkgenies.com

Read transcriptBy the mid-2000s, Naruto had pulled off something most manga-to-anime properties never manage: it wasn't just popular, it was everywhere, spinning off a small army of video games across nearly every system with a screen, like Naruto himself used Shadow Clone Jutsu on the entire games industry and nobody thought to stop him. Somewhere in that flood of Ninja Councils and Clash of Ninjas sits Naruto: Path of the Ninja, the entry that decided the best way to honor Kishimoto's story wasn't just punching (though there's plenty of that too) but actually letting you live through the Land of Waves and the Chūnin Exams one turn-based battle at a time. Path of the Ninja debuted on the Game Boy Advance in Japan back in 2004, then took a leisurely three years to reach American shelves in 2007, arriving on the Nintendo DS instead, because by the time they got around to localizing it, the GBA already felt like last decade's news. You pick from six familiar faces, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, Neji, and Rock Lee, pair them into formations for bonus combo attacks, and work through more than 90 jutsu, some of which you cast on the DS touchscreen by frantically scribbling a shape with the stylus, which is either a clever nod to hand seals or just a fun way to give yourself a cramp. The story runs all the way to the Chunin Exam invasion and a face-off with Shukaku, and if you're wondering whether you can also fight Itachi as a secret bonus boss, the answer is: only if you own the Japanese version. The English release quietly deleted that fight but somehow forgot to scrub his name from the end credits, which is the video game equivalent of hiding a body and leaving the shovel leaning against the wall. Making another through the Play Comics dojo is Merrilee O'Neil of Fear Coded, last seen on the show trying to keep pace with the Flash. This time she's trading super speed for shadow clones, hand seals, and a Konoha headband, so at least the running is a little more sustainable. So form your hand seals, grab your kunai pouch, and let's find out if Path of the Ninja earned its headband as a worthy trip through early Naruto, or if it should've stayed back at the Academy with the rest of the genin. Learn such things as: Isn't the world today better, with games coming out worldwide at basically the same time? How can you use a console's gimmick to really lean into the gameplay? Can a game stick to the established story a bit too well? And so much more! You can find Merrilee being the main driver of the Fear Coded account on BlueSky @fearcodedpod.bsky.social on her podcast Fear Coded.

En este nuevo Guardar Punto viajamos hasta el planeta Zebes para analizar en profundidad Metroid: Zero Mission, el remake con el que Nintendo reconstruyó en 2004 la primera aventura de Samus Aran para Game Boy Advance. Repasamos el contexto en el que nació el proyecto, el papel de Yoshio Sakamoto, su relación con el Metroid original de 1986 y la forma en la que Nintendo transformó aquella experiencia para adaptarla a una nueva generación. Hablamos de su desarrollo, su condición de remake y reimaginación, la reconstrucción de Zebes, las nuevas zonas, los jefes, la progresión, las habilidades, el extraordinario movimiento de Samus, el sequence breaking, el pixel art, las animaciones, la banda sonora y el segundo acto protagonizado por Zero Suit Samus. También debatimos sobre su duración, su rejugabilidad, su importancia dentro de la saga y si sigue siendo, más de veinte años después, una de las mejores puertas de entrada al universo Metroid. Este programa forma parte de la Iniciativa Metroid, un proyecto colaborativo de Podgaming creado para celebrar el 40 aniversario de la saga.

In 2003, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles brought the Final Fantasy name back to a Nintendo console for the first time in nearly a decade, and it did so by way of one of the strangest corners of Square's history. In this episode, David and Rob trace how the box office failure of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within nearly sank the company, and how that crisis led Square to build a walled off subsidiary called the Game Designers Studio, backed by Nintendo's own development fund, just to quietly return to Nintendo hardware without disturbing its relationship with Sony. They dig into Akitoshi Kawazu, the SaGa creator put in charge of the project, and why his reputation for unconventional design explains everything from the missing job system to the game's central chalice mechanic. They also explore the reasoning behind one of gaming's most notorious hardware requirements, a Game Boy Advance and link cable for every player. Join David and Rob as they trace the corporate crisis and the strange design philosophy that built Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.

If you want to remake a game, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is a perfect example of how to do it. It keeps almost everything players loved about the original Kirby's Adventure while adding new elements, quality of life adjustments, multiplayer, and even the opportunity to play as Meta-Knight. Rather than replacing the original, it offers a separate but familiar experience, wrapped in a new visual style and ready to be taken on the go with the Game Boy Advance. Joining Sean, Gigi, and Bridge today is writer, DJ, and podcaster Matt "Stormageddon" (@djstormageddon.com), here to share why Nightmare in Dream Land might be his favorite Kirby game of all time. And in addition to the main discussion, the group also closes the episode by looking more broadly back at the Game Boy Advance to share their other GBA recommendations. Questions or comments about the show? We always love hearing from listeners, and you can reach us at mail@kirbyconversations.com or submit your question to us on social media.For more from Matt, you can listen to their other shows the "Fun" & Games Podcast and Reignite.Sean also has a new podcast covering the GameCube, Dreamcast, and other games of the 2000s called Millennium Edition, and we hope you will subscribe to that one as well!

Worum geht's? Diesmal verhandeln Fabian und Gunnar vor dem Super Stay Forever-Gerichtshof den Fall Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, das Spiel von Capcom erschien 2001 in Japan für den Game Boy Advance und erreicht 2005 als überarbeitete Fassung für den Nintendo DS auch den Westen. In der Rolle des jungen Verteidigers Phoenix Wright ermitteln und plädieren die beiden durch fünf waschechte Mordfälle, die sich jeweils in Ermittlungsabschnitte und dramatische Gerichtsverhandlungen aufteilen. Dabei geht es um Zeugenaussagen, das Aufspüren von Widersprüchen und natürlich um den einen großen, unvergesslichen Ruf: Einspruch! Fabian und Gunnar diskutieren das Gameplay und sprechen darüber, wie Schöpfer Shu Takumi über Umwege bei Capcom landete, unter anderem über die verworfene Urversion von Resident Evil 2, und wie aus seinem Herzensprojekt eine der einflussreichsten Adventure-Reihen der letzten 25 Jahre wurde.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa recently talked about how Nintendo views preserving its history and connecting players with classic games through Nintendo Switch Online. With the Nintendo Museum now giving fans a physical way to experience Nintendo's past, and Switch Online continuing to expand with NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, and now GameCube games on Switch 2, Nintendo seems focused on subscriptions as the main path forward for its classic library. Furukawa also said Nintendo wants to keep exploring a “variety of possibilities” when it comes to giving players access to games from the past. Tonight we're talking about what that actually means, whether Switch Online is enough, why fans still miss Virtual Console, and what Nintendo needs to do next to make its classic game strategy feel complete.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow sits tucked away in the middle of 30 different Castlevania games.  First released for the Gameboy Advance in 2003, it takes strong inspiration from Symphony of the Night - yet is running on far weaker hardware.  It introduced the Soul System - where killing enemies grants you their powers - a mechanic so ingrained into popular games today that it's almost ubiquitous.  You would be forgiven for thinking this is yet another Castlevania game. But it isn't.  Many cite Aria of Sorrow as the best handheld Castlevania game, and some even have it as their absolute favourite.  Does Aria of Sorrow have some secret sauce that makes it so special, do all of its elements come together beautifully, or are people just remembering playing into the night while hiding their GBA under their bedsheets? On this episode, we discuss:Music. Music is important in most games, but especially so in Castlevania, which started to include music references in their game titles after SOTN.  How good is the music in Aria of Sorrow, and is it a good fit for the GBA hardware?Aesthetics. How well does Aria deliver a beautiful Castlevania game for the gba, from sprite work to animations?  What are the gameplay implications of having cleaner, less busy graphics?Souls. How dark are they?  But actually, how does this system function in terms of giving the player novelty versus usefulness?  Is it frustrating that souls don't level and scale with the player, or is this an essential part of what makes them work? We answer these questions and many more on the 140th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast! — Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen K Outro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to another Aria of Sorrow OST - Michiro YamaneSymphony of the Night OST - Michiro Yamane — Was Aria of Sorrow one of the best Castlevania games you ever played, or just another one in the pack?  Were there any ridiculous secrets we missed?  What Metroidvania should we play next?    Come let us know what you think on our community discord server!

Read transcriptSuperman Returns came out in 2006 and asked audiences a very sincere question: what if Superman, but sad? Brandon Routh brooded his way across the big screen, lifting improbable objects and pining for Lois Lane, and somewhere in a boardroom, someone decided this emotionally complex theatrical event needed to be a video game on four different platforms. Five if you count the Game Boy Advance version, which is technically a different game but we're counting it anyway because we paid good money decided that we just needed to talk about it. The PS2 and Xbox versions let you fly around Metropolis, absorbing explosions with your face in service of a health bar that belonged to the city rather than Superman himself, which is either a genuinely clever design idea or the most passive-aggressive mechanic in superhero gaming history. The Xbox 360 version turned the whole thing into an open-world showcase for what next-gen hardware could do, which in 2006 meant “look at those buildings.” The DS version was a side-scrolling beat-em-up. The GBA version was something else entirely. Superman Returns contained multitudes, is what we're saying. Joining me to dig through the whole sprawling, melancholy, city-defending mess is Adam Williamson, real-life friend, frequent Play Comics guest, and owner of a podcast idea that has been marinating for what I can only describe as a concerning length of time. Adam, I say this with love: at some point you're going to have to actually make the thing. In the meantime, he's here, the knowledge is flowing, and we've got a Superman game across half a console generation to get through. So settle in, try not to let the city's health bar drop to zero, and let's find out whether Superman Returns deserved better — from Hollywood, from the games industry, and honestly, maybe from all of us. Learn such things as: Did we finally crack the secret on how to make a good Superman game buried somewhere deep inside this one? Are real estate moguls the true evil in today's society? Are you a deadbeat dad if nobody besides you knows that you're the father? And so much more! You can find Adam on BlueSky @effectnotaffect and absolutely nowhere else except for on Play Comics where he writes comic reviews and appears on other episodes. Of particular interest to listeners of this episode are The Gimmick #1 and The Job #1.

Read transcriptLook, at some point you have to respect the audacity of putting the entire Justice League on a Game Boy Advance cartridge. Not one hero. Not two heroes doing a buddy-cop thing. The whole league. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the works. All crammed onto a handheld that also had to share shelf space with Hamtaro games. That's ambition. That's vision. That might also be a cry for help, but we're not here to judge. Justice League Chronicles was Ubisoft's love letter to the animated series, which means it had genuinely great source material to pull from and a screen roughly the size of a Post-it note to work with. The Justice League animated series was the kind of show that made you sit down and watch it with your kids because it was actually that good, and somehow that energy had to survive the trip to a device that ran on two AA batteries. Here to help make sense of it all is Doug Adamson from The Monitor Tapes, a man whose podcast is literally named after the thing the Justice League uses to watch for trouble. Which means he was cosmically destined to appear on this episode whether he wanted to or not. So pull up a chair in the Watchtower, try not to touch anything that looks important, and let's talk about a DC animated tie-in that had no business being as earnest as it was. Learn such things as: Does it really matter if you end up fighting against someone else's villains? Does it really matter if you can't pick how you're going to pair off the League members? Does anything really matter when you're getting to play one of the best cartoons ever made? And so much more! You can find Doug on BlueSky @themonitortapes.com, Threads @themonitortapes (although it might actually be DC Dave running those, I don't know), his podcast The Monitor Tapes, and whatever else they decide to release over on Brick Crisis Network. If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you're interested in.

Read transcriptThe year was 2006. The Game Boy Advance was winding down, the Justice League animated series had wrapped up, and someone at WayForward Technologies looked at a tiny handheld screen and said, “You know what this needs? The Flash. Running very fast. On a cartridge the size of a business card.” And honestly? Bold decision. Justice League Heroes: The Flash took the Game Boy Advance, the beloved animated series, and a Justice League comic run and asked the eternal question: how many Rogues can you stuff into a handheld beat-em-up before the whole thing starts wobbling? This episode, we're finding out. We're covering the comics, the game, the cartoon connections, and whether Barry Allen or Wally West gets more respect in a world that keeps giving them both the speed force and zero chill. Joining us to run this whole thing down is Marrilee O'Neil from Fear Coded, who brings exactly the right energy for a conversation about a game that moves fast and expects you to keep up. So strap in, try not to blink, and let's do this before the Flash gets impatient and reruns the episode himself. Learn such things as: Why couldn't this have just been part of Justice League Heroes? What is the best way to experience time manipulation? Does it really matter if you get to play as Wally or Barry here? And so much more! You can find Merrilee being the main driver of the Fear Coded account on BlueSky @fearcodedpod.bsky.social on her podcast Fear Coded.

Nos encaminamos a un nuevo programa con el reto de seguir siendo diferentes, porque tú —que ya nos conocemos— también eres diferente…Como diferente es la historia de quien cruzó medio mundo para llegar a los callejones de Akihabara y rescatar mundos que nunca llegaron hasta nosotros: nuestro invitado de hoy, don Luis García Navarro, más conocido como Luis Shinyuden…El valenciano que antes de fundar su propia editorial ya había adaptado al español títulos de Final Fantasy para Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS y PlayStation 4 trabajando para Square Enix y Nintendo, dio el salto para crear Shinyuden: una editorial hispano-japonesa radicada en Ome, cerca de Tokio, especializada en editar en físico y en castellano clásicos japoneses que jamás vieron luz oficial en España. Desde Traysia —un RPG de Mega Drive inédito ahora en una edición de coleccionista impecable— hasta el mítico Zero Wing, ese shooter cuya traducción zarrapastrosa al inglés alumbró uno de los primeros memes de la historia de internet ("All your base are belong to us"), Shinyuden está construyendo un catálogo que ya suma más de cinco títulos confirmados, con joyas como Sol-Deace, Slap Fight CC y la inclasificable novela visual de 1989 Gaudí: El Viento de Barcelona, ambientada en la ciudad preolímpica…Y en cómics, con Don Víctor también viajamos al píxel y la viñeta: y repasamos algunas de las obras que mejor han captado esa fusión…Escuchar audio

For over a decade, its release seemed like an impossibility, but 20 years ago, Mother 3 entered our world—and then proceeded to never leave Japan. While it superficially resembles the earlier Mother games, this long-awaited sequel differs greatly in tone and structure, yet somehow delivers a satisfying (if surprising) final installment of Shigesato Itoi's beloved RPG series. On this episode, join Bob Mackey, Reid Young, Charlie Verdin, and Everdraed (all of Fangamer) as the crew turn off their Happy-Happy Boxes and sit down to discuss the Game Boy Advance game that gives new meaning to the term "tonda gossa."Retronauts is a completely fan-funded operation.

Worum geht's? Mit Final Fantasy V erscheint Ende 1992 auf dem SNES in Japan ein Rollenspiel, das in Europa und Nordamerika lange Zeit gar nicht offiziell erhältlich ist. Dabei steckt hinter der unscheinbaren 16-Bit-Oberfläche eines der komplexesten Kampfsysteme der Serie: das Job-System, das es den Spielerinnen und Spielern erlaubt, ihre vier Helden frei mit Klassen und Fähigkeiten auszustatten, vom Ritter über den Mystischen Ritter bis hin zum Tänzer oder Glücksspieler. Die Kombinationsmöglichkeiten sind enorm, die Herausforderungen entsprechend knackig. Chris und Fabian sprechen in dieser Folge über die Entstehungsgeschichte des Spiels, über die schwierige Entscheidung, Final Fantasy V nicht in den Westen zu bringen, und über die turbulente Entwicklung unter der Doppelbelastung des Teams, das gleichzeitig an zwei Projekten arbeitete. Außerdem geht es um die Geschichte rund um Bartz, Lenna, Faris und Garloff, die gemeinsam die Elementarkristalle vor dem Bösewicht Exdeath schützen wollen, um die Stärken und Schwächen des Job-Systems in der Praxis – und um die Frage, warum das Spiel trotz seines spielerischen Reichtums erzählerisch an Grenzen stößt. Ein Blick auf einen oft unterschätzten Teil der Reihe, der zwischen zwei der bekanntesten Final-Fantasy-Spiele steht.

This week on Nintendo Therapy, we're diving into the Super Mario Galaxy movie now that it's finally here. Did it live up to the hype? We break down what worked, what didn't, and how it compares to Mario's previous big-screen outing. From the cosmic setting to how they handled Rosalina and the story, we're getting into all of it.We also revisit Fire Emblem on the Game Boy Advance, talking about why these games still hold up today. Between the classic tactical gameplay, permadeath tension, and unforgettable characters, there's a reason this era of Fire Emblem still gets so much love from fans.If you're into Nintendo deep dives, cozy gaming discussions, and a little nostalgic therapy, you're in the right place. Let us know what you thought of the Mario Galaxy movie and your favorite Fire Emblem game in the comments!

Happy birthday to the Gameboy Advance. In this week's episode, we are celebrating 25 years of the Gameboy Advance by going over some of the titles on the system we think hold up well in 2026. From main series like Pokemon, to some hidden gems, the Gameboy Advance was full of fun experiences and worlds to explore. These are all great games to check out if you haven't.

Read transcriptThis time on Play Comics, we're sneaking into the glittery, CGI-filled vault of early-2000s tie-in games and asking the question nobody demanded an answer to: “What if Catwoman, but make it even more 2004?” Between the leather, the eyeliner, and the wall-running, we're checking out the Catwoman movie game that clawed its way onto GameCube, Xbox, PS2, and Game Boy Advance. It's the kind of experience that feels like someone motion-captured an energy drink and then gave it a whip. To help make sense of this pixelated fever dream, Chris is joined by frequent guest Billy from his real life friend group, because if you're going to suffer through mid-2000s licensed game nonsense, you should at least do it with someone who can confirm you're not hallucinating. Together they dive into the bizarre elegance of magically convenient scaffolding, combat that thinks “pressing one button a lot” is a personality trait, and a story that remembers it's based on a movie just often enough to be legally distinct from fun. Expect more cat puns per minute than the ESRB ever intended. So dust off your flip phone, crank up your nu-metal playlist, and prepare to swing through a world where glass windows are just suggestions and gravity is more of a guideline. Is this game an underrated gem, a misunderstood experiment, or the digital equivalent of stepping on a LEGO in high heels? Tune in to find out how this cinematic catastrophe translated to four different systems, and whether any of them managed to land on their feet. Learn such things as: Can we really hold the story of this game against it (for the purposes of this podcast anyway) when it was just following the movie plot lines? Since when is the handheld version allowed to be the best one? Did we miss all of those jumps and grabs because some cat in the greater universe was pushing our character off the ledge? And so much more! You can find Billy's writing nowhere because Commandercast seems to be dead. But if it's not then someone tell me and I'll switch this up.

Season 8 heads into early-2000s chaos as Dangerous Dave revisits the cult comedy Old School, a film that perfectly captured the outrageous, quote-heavy comedy era of the early 2000s. With its mix of wild fraternity antics and strangely heartfelt moments about growing older, the movie became one of the defining comedies of its generation.We rewind to 2003 in What Happened Way Back When, exploring the cultural backdrop surrounding the film — from indie music breakthroughs and overlooked movies to television shows that helped shape the early-internet entertainment era. Retro Headlines from both the UK and the US reveal how technology, reality TV, gaming, and DVD culture were rapidly changing how people consumed entertainment.In the Dangerous Deep Dive, Dave explores the full story behind Old School — from its development and director Todd Phillips' vision to the unforgettable performances of Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Will Ferrell as the legendary Frank “The Tank.” The episode includes a detailed plot breakdown, the creation of the film's most iconic moments, and why audiences embraced its rebellious, party-fueled humour. Dave also looks at how the movie helped kick-start the “Frat Pack” comedy era and why fans still quote it two decades later.Elsewhere in the episode:

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen have arrived on Nintendo Switch, bringing the classic Kanto adventure back for a new generation.Originally released on the Game Boy Advance, FireRed and LeafGreen rebuilt the original Pokémon Red and Blue with updated graphics, expanded features, and improved mechanics while keeping the core journey through Kanto intact.In this Game of the Week, we take a look at why these remakes became one of the most important Pokémon releases ever, how they modernized the original games, and why returning to Kanto still holds up today.Whether you're revisiting Pallet Town or exploring it for the first time, FireRed and LeafGreen remain a defining part of Pokémon history.For ad-free episodes, subscribe here. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/nintendo-power-cast/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with meMy Nintendo Switch Recommendations: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://n64josh.com/amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://n64josh.com/discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitch: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitch.com/n64josh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/n64josh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/n64josh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
