Could Nintendo finally be bringing Xenosaga back from the dead? This week on Nintendo Pow Block, ⁠⁠Edward Varnell⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Corey Dirrig⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠Stephanie Klimov⁠ break down the new Xenoblade Chronicles 2 cameo that has JRPG fans buzzing about a possible Xenosaga revival. They also discuss the ESRB rating for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Switch 2, why Orbitals is offering a free Friend's Pass and local co-op demo, and whether Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 can realistically run on Nintendo's new hardware.Plus, the crew talks about Capcom's goal of releasing a Resident Evil game every year and answers a packed lineup of listener questions about true Nintendo sequels, amiibo in 2026, the future of Zelda, neglected Nintendo franchises, side-character spin-offs, and the future of physical games.This and more on this episode of Nintendo Pow Block, part of the Boss Rush Network.

Note - This episode was originally released in June 2025. I've decided to add prior Bonus Round episodes to the main feed, sequentially and on a 1-year-plus delay, so that EVERYONE can enjoy these fun, classic gaming banter sessions. Patrons will still get NEW Bonus Round episodes every month, so if you'd like to catch up on the last year of Bonus Round, head over to Patreon and support the show at the Fire Flower level or higher.⁠patreon.smashingbricks.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/smashingbricks⁠⁠⁠⁠~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hey Retro Gamers, welcome back to Bonus Round!These monthly podcast episodes are timed Patreon exclusives and are available at the Fire Flower level of support or higher. Each month, my guest and I will put together some sort of list, ranking, or otherwise fun conversation, usually related to that month's main episode. These will be released on the 28th of each month, and hopefully will be the dessert you've been missing after the main course episode two weeks earlier!Japanese Role-Playing Games are one of the most beloved mechanical genres by the video games community. The people who love them are often dedicated and loyal fans. I love JRPGs, but I've missed out on so many of them. When coming up with this list, I had a wealth of games to choose from, but this is a topic I'd love to revisit in a few years. Jason, who chatted with me about Earthbound Beginnings on episode 42, is a JRPG lover, and had plenty to say about some games that I've never played. I think we managed to spotlight quite a few games that don't always get mentioned in Top 5 JRPG lists. I hope you enjoy it, and maybe you'll be inspired to try one of these 10 games for yourself. Either way, head over to discord.smashingbricks.com and share YOUR top JRPGs in the #bonus-round channel!

We're back with a new format for the JRPG Canon! You can watch Sam and the guest's live reactions to the game by heading to youtube and watching the VOD.

Buy The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time here.What if the greatest RPG of all time never actually existed?In this Boss Rush Network Spotlight interview, Stephanie Klimov and Sofi Beyen sit down with Lucas Immanuel, writer, artist, designer, and creator at Coin Drop Games, to discuss The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time. Lucas dives into the game's unique blend of deduction puzzles, retro JRPG nostalgia, lost game preservation, ROM hack culture, and the art of recreating memories that players never had. The conversation explores the inspirations behind the project, the challenges of designing a puzzle game disguised as a classic RPG, favorite retro RPGs, the modern remake trend, and why this inventive indie title is resonating with fans of Chrono Trigger, Tunic, Return of the Obra Dinn, and gaming history itself.Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Boss Rush Network Community Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Follow the Boss Rush Network on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X/Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Thanks for your continued support of the Boss Rush Podcast and the Boss Rush Network!

Pat Klein, Stoy Jovic, Stephanie Klimov, and Just Taylor dive into everything from retro gaming nostalgia, arcade memories, JRPG obsessions, and hidden indie gems to modern gaming burnout and the growing toxicity surrounding online gaming culture.

Sorry for the lack of episodes as of late! But we will be going strong until the end of the year! Dragon Quest XII is looking great but those character designs... Persona 6 got leaked designs and the price of EVERYTHING is going up. Including my beloved Steam Deck.

According to a former Square-Enix exec, the company is worried about how OLD the average Final Fantasy and JRPG fan is. Most Americans who bought Final Fantasy VII Rebirth were over 35. What they're not taking into consideration is that that audience has MONEY to spend. See also the Final Fantasy Magic: The Gathering sales. So will Square-Enix drop the middle aged men to chase Gen Z? Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.

Final Fantasy VI - Episode 8 This Week: Go back to Mobilzgo to Triangle Island, get eaten by the Zone Eater, explore the Zone Eater's tum-tum and find a new friend. This new friend is special. He mimics whatever the person before him did. He can also do the special attacks of a ton of other characters, but you have to go to set him up correctly. To do that, go to Status and Set Commands. Choose whatever you want, Tools, Blitz, Steal, Throw, the world is your oyster! Fly to the pentagon shaped mountain (this is the phoenix cave, go check it out.) Investigate Narshe, bring Locke. Pick up Mog and Mog's friend while you are there. Bonus things to do:Return to Sabin's Cabin and get his ultimate Blitz (this takes five minutes and makes Sabin good.)Return to Doma Castle and make Cyan Great Again (as long as he has haste.) Climb the Cultist's TowerCleanse the Cursed Shield (this isn't as difficult as it seems. Just go to the sad island Celes was on and give the person with the Cursed Shield a ribbon and then let monsters die 250 times.) Explore the Ancient Castle (take a ride on Figaro Castle and when it gets stuck, hop out and go through the entrance you used in the prison cells of the castle.)Go fight a dagron at the Opera House. Kill Deathgaze. Next Week: Raid Kefka's Tower and finish the game What's a video game book club?

What are the best RPGs for someone who has never played a JRPG before? Which games teach the foundations of the genre without overwhelming new players? And which games can genuinely turn a casual player into a lifelong fan? We break down why games like Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, Pokémon Yellow, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, Persona 5, Golden Sun, EarthBound, Suikoden II, Super Mario RPG, and Final Fantasy IV remain some of the most approachable and emotionally resonant entry points into the genre. Along the way, we talk about: Why turn-based combat is NOT outdated, the hidden brilliance of abstraction in classic JRPG design, why Pokémon “hacks into the childhood psyche”, how JRPGs teach players complex systems intuitively, why nostalgia is actually a good thing, and the games we'd introduce to our own children. Whether you're trying to introduce a friend, spouse, or child to JRPGs for the first time, or you're just reflecting on the games that shaped you, this was one of our favorite conversations in a long time. #JRPG #ChronoTrigger #FinalFantasy #Pokemon #Persona5 #EarthBound #Suikoden #GoldenSun #Nintendo #RetroGaming #VideoGames #ResonantArc Time Codes: 1.

Final Fantasy 7 is on pretty much every list of top video games of all time. As the first JRPG on the Playstation, it had a huge role in popularizing that entire genre. It's a classic that stands the test of time. It's had sequels, and prequels, and remakes and rebirths. But does its story hold up to the type of scrutiny that we're known for? Can someone who's never played a videogame before understand it? Do any of the characters make sense? Does the world? Why are they called weapons if they don't look like axes? And who leaves so much magic just lying around on the floor? There's much to discuss in this week's episode of the Doombots Marvel Podcast!
