Ready to take a trip down memory lane? In this episode, your Friendly Neighborhood Gamers—Andrew, Dylan, Aubrey, and special guest Braedon—revisit the formative video games that shaped their childhoods and left a lasting impact. From educational staples like Reader Rabbit and trial-by-fire PC demos, to the glory days of handhelds and console favorites like GameCube, DS, and Xbox, they share hilarious stories and heartfelt nostalgia. The crew unpacks obscure games only they seem to remember (Nanosaur, anyone?), the wild west of early online multiplayer, and the titles that cemented their lifelong love for gaming. Along the way, they reflect on how social gaming, tech misadventures, and even long family road trips helped define their tastes today—plus, they go head-to-head in a laugh-out-loud “video game synonym” quiz to close things out. Whether you grew up on Stronghold Crusader, Pokémon, Battlefield, or Animal Crossing, this episode is jam-packed with nostalgia, laughs, and genuine friendship.

Read transcriptHell hath no fury like a Hellspawn scorned, especially when that Hellspawn is leaping between platforms on your PlayStation 2! This week's episode of Play Comics dives headfirst into the fiery pits of “Spawn Armageddon,” the video game that attempted to cram the first 99 issues of Todd McFarlane's demonic anti-hero saga into button-mashing glory on PS2, Xbox, and GameCube. Chains will fly, capes will billow dramatically for no apparent reason, and we'll answer the burning question: can any game truly capture the essence of a character who essentially told both Heaven and Hell to take a hike? Joining us on this unholy quest is the supremely talented Rob Duenas from the Sketchcraft YouTube channel, whose pencil might actually be mightier than Spawn's chains. When Rob isn't dropping knowledge bombs about art techniques online, he's busy creating jaw-dropping illustrations for comic books – including the mind-bending “Spawn Kills Every Spawn.” Yes folks, our guest has literally drawn Spawn murdering alternate versions of himself, which makes him uniquely qualified to judge a game where Spawn murders… well, pretty much everything else. So grab your favorite necroplasm-infused beverage, wrap yourself in a sentient cape that definitely isn't judging your choice of pajamas, and prepare for an episode more twisted than Violator's family reunion. We're diving deep into the 2003 gaming experience that asked the important question: “What if we gave the angriest character in comics a bunch of weapons and unleashed him in a world that looks suspiciously like the developer's first attempt at a 3D environment?” The answer, dear listeners, involves a lot more jumping puzzles than anyone ever asked for. Learn such things as: Who would have thought that Rob knows so much about game development? Would anyone believe that you could cram 99 issues of comic story into a single game back in 2003? Is this really how we're going to let Spawn end in console games? And so much more! You can find Rob on on YouTube @Sketchcraft or his website Sketchcraft which has links to whatever social media places are still alive this week.

For a game with drift in the title, the drifting in KartRider: Drift felt terrible. That could be excused if everything else was good to great, but that wasn't the case. Sure, there's a lot of content there, from a large cast of drivers to a decent selection of tracks, but none of that mattered when the game wasn't fun to play, and when you're in a crowded genre full of some very big hitters, you need to be more than fine to stand out. Unfortunately for KartRider: Drift, that never happened. Now KartRider: Drift is dead in all forms except on PC in Korea and Taiwan, so let's toast to it one last time in this here episode of The Last Call. Anyway, that's it and that's all folks.

This was a surprise. Early this year I wasn't sure what to play and wasn't quite ready for anything too big, so I perused my various libraries and picked out a few games that caught my eye. Road Redemption was one of those games. As someone who grew up with Road Rash and loved every iteration of it up to and including Road Rash 3D, any game that looks like Road Rash is going to get my attention. That said, I wasn't expecting much from Road Redemption based on the visuals, but as soon as I started playing, I fell in love. It may not be the prettiest game out there and it's rough around the edges, but it's great where it counts: it's just a lot of fun to play.
Number 971We're nearing two weeks removed from the Switch 2 reveal and all hell is still breaking loose. Tariff talk plagues the system, price woes grow bigger, pre-orders in North America are still up in the air, and Nintendo's damage control seems to be having an opposite effect. It's a tough time to be a Nintendo fan right now, be we cut through all the noise to share what's really going on!
After all the news from the April 2nd Nintendo Direct, we had to put out a bonus episode with our reactions and some of the additional information we've found about the Star-Crossed World upgrade for Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Kirby Air Riders, GameCube games on the Switch 2, and more. Who is this mysterious new Waddle Dee with a telescope in Star-Crossed World? Could Sakurai and Bandai Namco be bringing some of their sensibilities from Smash Bros. into Air Riders? And while the Switch 2 may be expensive, do the hundreds of dollars in rarer and pricey GameCube titles they're adding to the Nintendo Classics library make it an oddly affordable option for GameCube fans? We know lots of people have done immediate responses to the Direct already, but a few days out, here's where we're at with a little more info and a lot more questions about this exciting new era for Kirby and Nintendo.-----Want to reach out with a question or comment about the show?

Some games will be “Game Key Cards”, which act as a physical key but require download of data to play. Confirmed Key card games: Bravely Default Flying Fairy Street Fighter VI Surprisingly not cyberpunk? Playasia listing suggest this for Elden Ring: Tarnished edition (not 100% confirmed). This will be labeled on the box at the bottom Game key cards are NOT tied to a specific account (despite some reports to the contrary) https://www.theverge.com/news/644803/nintendo-switch-2-game-key-cards-trade-borrow-resell Possibly comparable to CD-ROMs in PC gaming when they were still relevant. (Data was written to hard drive during install, but disc still needed to boot. A cost cutting measure? Is this why Mario kart world is extra expensive The Biggest disadvantage: Downloads not always available.

We are going to try to focus more on the Retro side of things but you know we won't be able to help ourselves lol. If you have any questions or just want to share your thoughts on the direct, tell us here and we will discuss them! Thanks Drex1981 — 4/3/2025 9:48 AM When I first saw the announcement trailer in January. I immediately thought to myself this looks like what a switch pro was going to be. However I was curious and looking forward to the direct and after seeing the direct, this doesnt feel like a new console to me. It basically feel like the Switch Pro. For 499 bucks? And 80 bucks per game. I'm going to wait or just buy a steam deck. Eric Plunk — 4/3/2025 9:50 AM I want to see a TV dinner style tray to use the mouse function on with interchangeable tray tops. Bonus points if they have one that looks like the SNES mouse pad DoubleD — 4/3/2025 10:51 AM For me, this is exactly what I wanted for the next Nintendo console. This direct was a complete 180 from the previous one, where the only thing that really got me hyped was Metroid Prime 4. I'm 100% on board with being an early adopter for this, whereas, I wasn't when the original Switch was announced. They're truly making a version of the Switch that I always wanted. Not only that, but they also announced games that I'm excited for, which seals the deal that it's going to be a day 1 purchase. I didn't expect it, but the game I am most excited for is DK Bananza! Also, with my kids getting older and moving out, I love the integrated video chat and screen sharing options. I still won't get the higher tier of NSO though, so I'll just keep playing Gamecube games on my Gamecube, but I love that they added it. SNES_is_Life — 4/3/2025 10:53 AM DK looks great for sure. txTrey — 4/3/2025 11:29 AM My kids are still younger, but my third thought about that chat stuff was that I could do it with them when they move out or go to college. I still have probably one more Nintendo console release before that happens, so hopefully it carries forward ChrisHL94

This week on New Dad Gaming, it's all about the Nintendo Switch 2. Trevor and Jeff dive into Nintendo's massive announcement, breaking down the upgraded hardware, surprising launch titles, and some truly unexpected exclusives—including Dusk Blood, a spiritual successor to Elden Ring that's only coming to Switch 2 (!). Has Nintendo officially won over the dad gamers? The new Mario Kart World gets a lot of love too, with an open-world racing mode that mixes Burnout Paradise vibes with classic kart chaos. From dolphin drivers to the iconic Moo Moo cow, Nintendo's bringing the magic for kids—and the nostalgia for dads. Other highlights include: New features like Game Chat and Game Share that let up to four consoles play the same game without extra downloads. Switch 2's game streaming, 4K docked output, and 120Hz handheld support. The long-awaited return of GameCube games, including Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Fire Emblem, and more. Launch titles like Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Street Fighter 6, and a Kirby racing game no one asked for. The dads also discuss the new Zelda Notes AI Assistant, a built-in game coach that eerily resembles something they just talked about on a previous episode. Is New Dad Gaming influencing the industry? They'll let you decide. Subscribe to the Podcast!
