This is it! After dozens of games and hundreds of hours of gameplay, we've arrived at the VERY LAST GAME in the Wii U catalog! To celebrate this momentous event, we had to bring in some of our favorite guests for one of the most influential games of the last decade! The entire Vidjagame Apocalypse crew (Matthew Allen, Chris Antista, and Mikel Reparaz) join us to talk LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD. This game dropped day-and-date with the release of the Switch, so the Wii U version tends to be overlooked, but it can't be denied that this game forever changed how we think about ZELDA and reinvented how we approach open-world games. Join us as we dig in to this massive adventure, and be sure to come back next week for our FOUR-HOUR final episode spectacular!

En el programa de esta semana analizamos la guerra que Rusia ha iniciado en Ucrania. No nos centramos en los bombardeos o en los ataques, nos fijamos en sus consecuencias. Hay un dicho que dice “en una guerra lo primero que se pierde es la verdad”. Por eso vamos a charlar con Pilar Bernal, vicepresidenta de Reporteros Sin Fronteras. También charlamos con Massimo Cermelli, colaborador del Colegio Vasco de Economistas, sobre las consecuencias que el conflicto va a causar en la economía de Europa, Rusia y Euskadi. Además, Mikel Reparaz, conocido periodista que lleva cubiertos varios conflictos y que en la actualidad es el responsable de Internacional en los informativos de Euskal Telebista, nos cuenta como han organizado la cobertura de la guerra y como ha sido la gestión para enviar a Ane Ibarzabal y a Mikel Ayestaran a Ucrania. ¿Son los testigos bienvenidos en las guerras?. No todo va a ser negativo. Hemos comenzado el programa desde la calle preguntando a la gente si Vitoria-Gasteiz es una ciudad aburrida. Recuerda que nos puedes escuchar en directo los miércoles en Radio Siberia, 93.8FM de Vitoria-Gasteiz.

It's one of our most requested episodes! This week, we're covering DEVIL'S THIRD, the infamous flop from famed NINJA GAIDEN developer Tomonobu Itagaki! We're joined once again by Vidjagame Apocalypse host Mikel Reparaz as we dig into the game's exceptionally rocky development period, talk about the now-defunct online mode, and find out if this game really lives down to it's reputation.

Reflexionamos a pocos días de la jura del cargo del presidente electo numero 46 de los Estados Unidos. Mikel Reparaz, Txemi Parra y Juan Ignacio Guenechea coinciden en que habrá que coser los EE.UU....
El "gran arácnido", el supremacismo blanco, es el eje en torno al que gira el viaje del periodista Mikel Reparaz entre Baltimore y Charlottesville. 250 kilómetros separan estas ciudades que prendieron la llama del movimiento Black Lives Matter. El racismo como problema sistémico en la primera potencia mundial, la imposibilidad de acabar con él, incluso con un presidente negro como Obama, los resortes del 70% de la población blanca conservadora para impedir que se acaben sus privilegios y la posibilidad de un enfrentamiento civil en la cuna de la democracia son algunos de los temas que repasamos con un periodista que conoce a fondo las estructuras de América. En la base de los últimos sucesos ocurridos en Washington está ese deseo blanco de mantener su estatus.

Kooloo Limpah! Holy hell, we've got a massive, moon-sized episode bearing down on you this week. We're talking about LEGEND OF ZELDA: MAJORA'S MASK, a game so huge and divisive and complex that we needed to assemble a whole Travelling Wilburys of podcasters just to cover it! We're joined once again by ZELDA superfan Caleb Sanders, and all three hosts of the amazing Vidjagame Apocalypse podcast: Mikel Reparaz, Chris Antista, and Matthew Allen! In addition to our huge discussion, we also have some very exciting new about the future of the show, and a whole suite of awesome letters from listeners. Don't miss this one!

AEBetatik itzuli berritan, hauteskunde-osteko giro politikoaz, Joe Bidenen egitekoez eta trumpismoaren etorkizuna aritu gara Mikel Reparaz EITB kazetariarekin....
'Las grietas de America' liburua kaleratu berri du Mikel Reparaz kazetari nafarrak, AEBtako arrakalen inguruko saiogintza liburua. Egun estatu batuetan bizi duten polarizazio egoera bortitza ez da lasaitu hauteskundeen ostean: Bidenek irabazi ditu hauteskundeak eta Trumpek iruzurraren mamua astindu du frogarik aurkeztu gabe, etxe zurian gortortuta. Reparazen laguntzaz disekzionatu dugu ameriketan gertatzen ari dena. Gainera Harri Fernandezek telesailak gomendatuko dizkigu Idi Begian. Besteak beste, Hondar Ahoak, Koldo Almandozek ETB1ean estrenatu duen serie berria. Eta Wanda atalean Sara Hernandezekin hitz egingo dugu Zinemaldiak Tabakaleran antolatu duen emanaldi berezi baten inguruan. Jarri kaskoak eta entzun!
AEBtan dauden arrakalak inoiz baino nabarmenago geratu dira 2020ko hauteskundeetan. Bidenek irabazi ditu bozak, baina, Trumpek dio -frogarik aurkeztu gabe- iruzurra egon dela eta bera dela benetako garailea. Mikel Reparaz kazetaria estatu batuetan izan da korrespontsal gisa lanean eta inork baino hobe azaldu dezake han gertatu dena. Gainera 'Las grietas de America' izeneko liburua aurkeztuko du ostiral honetan Donostian. Ispilu Beltzean elkarrizketa egin diogu. Jarri kaskoak eta entzun!

Fans of GRAND THEFT AUTO, get ready to meet the granddaddy of 3D sandbox games! This week, we're playing BODY HARVEST, the influential early open-world game from the makers of GTA! We're joined by the wonderful Mikel Reparaz (@wikiparaz), host of the Vidjagame Apocalypse podcast, to help break down all the tractor-stealing, bug-blasting, body-harvesting action!

To celebrate 2 solid years of podcasting excellence (don't laugh), we are playing one of N64's biggest titles, and one of the most influential and important games ever, GOLDENEYE 007. To help us tackle this seminal title, we're joined by Mikel Reparaz (@Wikiparaz) of the VIDJAGAME APOCALYPSE podcast, and Diana Goodman (@LeCineNerd) of THIRTY TWENTY TEN! We talk about James Bond, "GoldenEye" the movie, iconic multiplayer, small development teams, and dog costumes, and it couldn't have been cooler if it had been put on ice (shaken, not stirred). Also, some very exciting news: ULTRA 64 is launching a Patreon! We'll be offering patrons two additional bonus episodes per month, plus plenty of other treats and surprises down the line. Our first episode (available for donors RIGHT NOW!) is all about Treasure's fan-favorite N64 import, SIN AND PUNISHMENT! Be sure to check out patreon.com/ultra64pod for more details!

In 2004, Hideo Kojima restored his famous series' reputation with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. This third entry in the Metal Gear Solid series eschewed the excessively meta approach of the previous sequel for a James Bond-ish romp in an entirely new setting that still provided plenty of convoluted--and incredibly amusing--twists and turns. The result is a modern classic that's brimming over with so many great, unique ideas, we barely have time to scratch the surface in 90 minutes! On this episode, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Mikel Reparaz, and Wes Fenlon as the crew takes a closer look at Metal Gear Solid 3 under the survival viewer.
In this episode of Grind Forever, we look at the epic of 108 stars and talk about the fantastic RPG, Suikoden II for the the Sony Playstation. Travis is joined by Vidjagame Apocalypse's own Mikel Reparaz to talk about the PSX classic.

Hello, fellow lovers of the macabre and / or mouse-based action combat! Are you ready to be spooked? Are you in the mood for hyper-gory VGA-era RPG adventure games? ARE YOU? You better be, because Mikel Reparaz from Vidjagame Apocalypse joins us and he darn well finished this first person dungeon crawler for our benefit. So you'll play this creaky game from Horrorsoft and YOU'LL LIKE IT. On this special bonus episode we explore the strange worlds of this episodic RPG and ask: why are old PC RPGs so much less accessible than their console equivalents? What's up with the crazy amount of gore? Are the policemen just made that we touched them?

30 years ago, Lucasfilm Games gave us Maniac Mansion: an unassuming little adventure created by people who never dabbled in the genre before. But this lack of conventional wisdom caused Maniac Mansion to be an adventure game unlike anything else in existenceand one that would shape the future of Lucas' game division for years to come. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Mikel Reparaz, and Phil Kollar as the crew ponders the joys of Ron Gilbert's B&E simulator.
We NES kids know Little Nemo best from his classic Capcom platformer, but what about the character's role in a revolutionary newspaper comic from the early 20th century? And what of Little Nemo's extraordinarily expensive and fairly obscure box office flop that spawned two different video games? On this episode of Retronauts Micro join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Mikel Reparaz as the gang traces the history of Winsor McCay's sleepy hero across three different forms of media.
'80s kids couldn't help but grow up with a Ghostbusters fixation, even if the games based on this popular property were often as fun as drowning in a river of slime. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Kat Bailey, and Mikel Reparaz as the crew digs into every Ghostbusters game to see how well each one captures that essential ghostbusting spirit. And if you think all of these games are good, we're not ready to believe you!
We've finally made it to 200 episodes of Vidjagame Apocalypse! Join us as we celebrate by throwing out our usual format and instead try to debate, cajole, and vote our way to a highly subjective list of the 20 best games of all time, starting from the 10 respective favorites of Mikel Reparaz, Chris Antista, Dave Rudden, and Brett Elston, and ending with a vague sense that democracy is just the worst.
It's hard to believe, but the Wii celebrated its tenth birthday last year, putting it within our extremely loose definition of "retro." And thankfully, it's a topic worthy of the Retronauts treatment. Not only does the Wii amount to Nintendo's biggest success, it's also unlikely any subsequent system will ever sell more than this underpowered little box that made our motion-control dreams come true... when we still had them. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Brett Elston, and Mikel Reparaz as the crew looks back on a not-too-distant past full of Wiis and waggle.

Like every type of media still in its early years, gaming is viewed (by some) as a world-destroying force bent on stealing our time and warping our innocent minds. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Henry Gilbert and Mikel Reparaz as the crew traces how our anxieties over this new form of entertainment have caused society to push back and demand sometimes-hilarious changes.

In an era of high scores and game overs, Bay Area developer Will Wright's fascination with urban planning led to an experience completely unique to our medium: a video game with no win state. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Mikel Reparaz, and Kat Bailey as the crew traces the history of SimCity from its brilliant roots to its unfortunate decline, and ponder just how much product Will Wright's cartoon avatar needs to keep his green afro so bouncy and manageable.

Due to our erratic Retronauts recording schedule--a whole bunch of podcasts every three to four months--it's a lot harder than it used to be to respond to our fans in a timely manner. That's why, once per year, we sit down and pore over a selection of the best listener letters for the sake of a freewheeling, 90-minute discussion. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Ray Barnholt, Mikel Reparaz, and Chris Kohler as the crew tackles important issues, like the state of gaming preservation and their respective waifus.

Long ago, the best game a phone could pull off was the immortal "Snake," so we had no choice but to turn to dedicated portables for anything more complicated than that. In an era before most people Crushed Candy on their mass-transit commutes, Sony's PSP absolutely thrived, and gave its users an impressive piece of tech that did more than just play games. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Mikel Reparaz, and Ray Barnholt to find out why all we really want for Christmas is a PSP.

Ten years ago, director Fumito Ueda released his second game, the phenomenal Shadow of the Colossus--little did we know, it'd be another decade before we saw his next project come into being. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, and guests Nick Suttner and Mikel Reparaz as the crew examines the games of a visionary whose genius was confined to a single console. Also, it's our fiftieth full-length episode! So hooray for that.

For whatever reason, the late '80s to early '90s absolutely overflowed with games about cavemen and dinosaurs. And while we're still struggling to explain this trend, without "Cave-mania," we wouldn't have Bonk: The TurboGrafx-16's answer to Mario. For roughly five years, NEC's big-headed caveman tried to carve a niche for himself within the crowded mascot platformer market, though the harsh competition of the 16-bit Console Wars made success a near impossibility for this strange little series. On this week's Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Ray Barnholt, and guest Mikel Reparaz as the crew peers into the past of prehistoric gaming.

Sometimes, good games can go bad. And when they do, they usually go REALLY bad. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Kat Bailey, and Mikel Reparaz as the crew tries to pinpoint when certain series went off the rails and into oblivion--and if any of them ever recovered. If you disagree with the opinions within, just remember: That's perfectly okay! We won't begin etching edicts in stone until our Patreon hits at least six figures.

As adults, we may do the proper research before plunking down our hard-earned cash on a new video game, but this wasn't always the case. Years ago, our developing brains weren't quite as skilled at impulse control, leading to some particularly painful cases of buyer's remorse. On this episode of Retronauts Micro, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Kat Bailey, and Mikel Reparaz as they discuss the unfortunate purchasing decisions that still haunt them to this day.
