Podcasts about n64

Pokémon Champions launched on mobile doing roughly $300-400K/day. Two days later it was collapsing. It's now around $80K/day and falling — a textbook shark fin from the biggest IP on the planet. We cover the wins on this podcast, but we also cover the failures, and this one is genuinely fascinating.We break down what went wrong with Pokémon Champions. The game is essentially Pokémon Stadium (the N64 classic) rebuilt for mobile — a pure battler with no exploration, no gyms, no story, no breeding, no catching Pokémon in the wild. The gacha is neutered into a "pick one of ten" system with no randomness at all. And the killer: Pokémon Home import lets players bring their existing collections straight in from Pokémon Go and other titles, so many players arrived on launch day with everything already unlocked — what Jakub calls "Web3 interoperability in play," and a total economy destroyer. Monetization is cosmetics, a battle pass, and ranch refresh tickets. That's it. The crew also contrasts it with the Pokémon apps that genuinely print money (TCG Pocket at ~$15M/month, Pokémon Sleep at ~$150K/day and ~$150M in three years, Pokémon Go spiking on the 30th anniversary), and picks apart the UA: ~300 creatives that are really about 7 concepts, almost all 15-21 seconds, cut from a year-old trailer.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Why we're covering a failure02:40 It's Pokémon Stadium, rebuilt for mobile07:05 The neutered gacha — pick one of ten11:26 The shallow monetization: cosmetics and a battle pass12:30 Pokémon Home import — the economy killer14:35 The numbers — shark fin, Japan-driven, 16% US17:06 The Pokémon apps that actually print money19:59 The creatives — 300 videos, 7 concepts, all too shortThis episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

On today's Utcast, we discover the bulge that's blocking men in 2026 before releasing the green slime origin on everybody. Later Zoey talks to the newest Maximum Utmost writer and furry expert Zalno about the complicated relationships that the StarFox fan community has with the series (watch the interview as a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=602h0jOBCd8 ). Along the way, we reminisce about the N64, learn about Rhythm Heaven Groove, and uncover the mysteries at the heart of Sony's ceasing disc manufacturing.

Cette semaine, on se remet sur le piton en essayant d'oublier les nouvelles des dernières semaines concernant Sony et Xbox, tout en ayant une pensée pour nos collègues chez Bethesda Montréal. On discute aussi des regrettés Sam Neil et Satoru Iwata, alors que ce dernier avait quand même prédit la situation actuelle de l'industrie. Pour se remonter le moral, je vous parle de l'application Nintendo Music, qui m'a permis de tourner la page sur Spotify grâce à son catalogue bien garni des classiques de Koji Kondo et cie! Puis en impressions rétro, on retourne en 1993 avec Donkey Kong Country, le chef-d'œuvre de platforming signé Rare qui a dominé le début de la guerre du 32-bits à lui seul! Est-ce que le jeu est encore intéressant aujourd'hui ou est-ce que son look époustouflant pour l'époque ne tient plus la route? En question, on discute beaucoup de DKC et sa musique, mais aussi de mes fruits préférés, des rumeurs à l'époque du N64, de ma collection, Christopher Nolan, Switch 2 et bien plus encore!

We're back at it and diving into the most polarizing topic on the internet: how to pronounce tool brands. Whether you're Team Blum or Team Bloom, we've got thoughts. We also debate the merits of hiring out chores—is paying the neighborhood lawn guy or a dog walker worth the money, and more importantly, do you actually tip them? Because tipping culture is the wild west of financial gratitude.Then, we share our favorite life hacks. From gamifying grocery bagging to showering efficiently and extracting every microscopic drop of toothpaste, we're out here trying to save you time and energy. Plus, Zac is overhauling his N64 mod with some 3D printed textures, and Deric gives us an update on his hernia recovery (spoiler: he's finally out of the binder and looking for a worthy contender to take the belt from him).

Mickey and his friends have a decent amount of games for the N64 made by various studios, so let's see if it this small world is worth our time after all.

Episode #609: Jordan finally joined the latest handheld generation with a new ROG Xbox Ally X, and he's finding that the "third iteration" is where the magic happens. But as the boys dive into the convenience of the ecosystem, a darker reality hits: Sony is deleting hundreds of digital movies from user libraries, sparking a massive conversation on the "right to own" vs. "license to view."Between the tech talk, the crew gets into a legendary discussion over the ergonomics of the N64 controller—possibly the most contested piece of plastic in gaming history. Plus, we break down the rumored Xbox "Disc to Digital" feature and why it's a game-changer for preservation.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.

The Star Fox team is finally BACK after 10 long years and GVG's own Daniel Alba joins this week to give our impressions on the N64 remake. To be quite frank, we're blown away at the amount of heart, polish, technical prowess, and sheer content that is in this new version of the classic Star Fox 64 that we just had to talk about it, along with our thoughts on the surprisingly fun online multiplayer mode and what we see for the future of the series now that Velan Studios has proven their meddle. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as a HUGE price tag for the upcoming Steam Machine (along with a price hike for the Xbox Series X), a new screen potentially coming to a second version of the Switch 2, rumors around the Nintendo theme parks at Universal Studios and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.

Take a walk on the wild side with the Maximum Utcast as we tour through the menagerie of exotic beasts. We talk mildly about GTA6 and wildly about Red Dead Redemption 2's horse ball physics before opening the floor to a great debate about the N64 vs. the PS1. Later, the state of the Atari Lynx is discussed and we go deep on Mega Man. Sarah Carapace visits the show to discuss some of the identity crisis facing the Double Dragon series, while focusing on the game Double Dragon Advance (read more about that at the link below).

This week we're joined by Brian Watson, formerly of DMA Design who worked on the Atari ST version of Lemmings 1 and 2, and porting it to the Atari Lynx.  He later worked for Iguana Entertainment, Acclaim, working on Turok, N64 audio drivers and clever memory systems used across dozens of games. Brian shares brilliant stories from the trenches of 16-bit and 32-bit development, the challenge of making ambitious games work on limited hardware, and what it was really like behind the scenes at DMA and Acclaim.Contents:00:00 – The Week's Retro News Stories43:31 - Brian Watson InterviewPlease visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show:Bitmap Books – https://www.bitmapbooks.comCheck out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com for all your PCB needsLondon Gaming Market: https://www.londongamingmarket.com/We need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you'd like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon:https://theretrohour.com/support/https://www.patreon.com/retrohourJoin our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8Website: http://theretrohour.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/X: https://twitter.com/retrohourukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.comTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohourShow notesMinecraft On PS2: https://lnk.ua/kNl3123pXGame Boy GTA: https://lnk.ua/LQySSpMoNApidya Remake Pre-Orders: https://lnk.ua/23bg38SjWDreamcast USB Controller: https://lnk.ua/MUJ4zS3JzRetro Warehouse Haul: https://lnk.ua/Lbd1kmKIfDiscord Social SDK: https://lnk.ua/6Wfh1bNoy

Do a barrel roll! Gemeinsam mit Gast Kai Schmidt schaut sich Micha das neue Star Fox für Nintendo Switch 2 an, ein Remake von Star Fox 64, das den vielleicht prägendsten Teil der Reihe technisch eindrucksvoll, aber spielerisch erstaunlich konservativ zurückbringt. Die beiden sprechen darüber, warum Nintendo ausgerechnet diesen Klassiker noch einmal neu auflegt, welche Rolle Decompilations und Fan‑Ports dabei spielen und wie gut das Remake audiovisuelle Kindheitserinnerungen an Starwing und Star Fox 64 tatsächlich einlöst.Spannend wird es vor allem dort, wo zwei Nostalgien aufeinandertreffen: hier das Starwing‑Kid, der erst spät zum N64 gefunden hat, dort der bekennende Star‑Fox‑64‑Fan. Gemeinsam sezieren sie Steuerungsprobleme, zu kurze Levels, maue Zusatzmodi und vergleichen das neue Star Fox mit Serienablegern wie Star Fox Assault und Star Fox Zero sowie Indie‑Alternativen wie Ex Zodiac. ist dieses Remake ein hoffnungsvoller Neustart oder doch eher eine schön inszenierte Sackgasse für das Lylat‑Franchise?Und ja, Micha mag Star Fox Zero immer noch, ihr Banausen!

Ben, Matt James, Steve Ahlman, and Rob Mahoney plug in their trident controllers for a four-player, 30th-anniversary celebration of a classic console from their youth, the Nintendo 64. First, in Patch Notes, they play a guessing game about what 'Grand Theft Auto VI' will cost as preorders begin, discuss whether the price is wrong for Valve's Steam Machine, and react to reports about upcoming Xbox layoffs and studio closures. Then they play "Mash or Pass?" with Nintendo's Switch 2 ‘Star Fox' remake and ‘The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales,' and they share what they want and expect from the upcoming ‘Ocarina of Time' remake. Finally, they assess the N64's legacy and draft their favorite N64 games across several genres.

This week on Nintendo Pow Block, Corey Dirrig⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is joined by the one and only Stephanie Klimov⁠ to discuss leaked game description that hints that Link's iconic N64 adventure will be a faithful remake with gorgeous new visuals and "timeless combat" later this year. They also discuss Nintendo Japan's strict new 50-hour playtime requirement to combat multi-language Switch 2 scalpers in the region, Mega Man's playable debut and Capcom's presence at Gamescom 2026, and the shocking reports that Microsoft is weighing major closures and spin-offs for fan-favorite Xbox studios like Ninja Theory and Double Fine.

An exuberant, behind-the-scenes look at the designers and the company that brought us Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, and so much more, illuminating Nintendo's singular ethos, its massive cultural impact, and the innovative solutions behind its creative triumphsWhat magical mushroom could have turned an unassuming playing card company into one of the dominant cultural forces of the twenty-first century?In Super Nintendo, lifelong gamer and a renowned video games journalist Keza MacDonald traces Nintendo back to its quirky beginnings in 1889. Leaping from game to game, she tells the remarkable story of the people who brought us Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and more—not to mention the SNES, N64, Game Boy, Wii, Switch, and a host of other wacky gizmos—and charts the delights they've offered over the decades. MacDonald draws on private interviews with icons like Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario, who continues to leave his stamp on the company, and takes readers on a trip to the secretive Nintendo HQ—making her one of the few Western journalists to have set foot inside the building. Along the way, she provides a close-up look at the company's willingness to take risks and place long-term success over short-term profits.A carousel of wonders, Super Nintendo whisks you back to the couch in the den, a controller in your hands for the very first time, staring up at a screen of infinite possibilities.

26th June 2026 marks 30 years since the Nintendo 64 launched in Japan, and Alex went so mad with the pod format for one of his seminal console that we've had to cut the pod into two parts! We're taking you on a journey through every year of the console's life cycle (including some bonus prerequisite pre-release chat) from 1996-2001, with the key developments and news, plus our thoughts on the key games. We'll culminate the pod in the very near future with the same for 2000-2001, and finish everything off with our own personal top 10 games lists. Tune in for that in a few weeks. Tell us your favourite N64 games on BlueSky @winnerisyou, and check out what we're up to on RankOne - SuperSmillie and Thrillex.

Alors non, le kaiju du jeu vidéo japonais n'a peur de rien. En revanche, il vieillit, petit à petit. En ce mois de juin 2026, il fête les 30 ans de sa Nintendo 64, mais aussi le départ à la retraite de Takashi Tezuka, un nom aussi important que celui de Shigeru Miyamoto chez Nintendo. On revient donc sur le parcours de ces deux légendes du jeu vidéo dans cet épisode #66 ! Mais Marc, Nicolas et Thierry abordent aussi dans ce podcast : la première adaptation animée de Super Mario Bros. (en 1986 !), le superbe jeu d'action / aventure Mina the Hollower, le remake de Project Zero II: Crimson Butterfly, ou encore le dernier manga de l'auteur de Gantz.

Welcome to RetroLogic! I'm Dan Caporello here with Shannon Eno and John Cummins, and Adam Caporello! Intros   But RetroLogic isn't just a podcast. It's a community of retro gamers! - We've got an active, friendly, and free discord. - Giveaways - Contests - AND Dive into our family of Retro podcasts!

I'm going to list off 4 or 5 games and everyone has to guess how much the lot is worth in total. Whoever is closest to the actual value wins that round! Everyone has a list and everyone guesses on each other's list.    At the end, the player that won the most rounds wins the episode! But watch out for the robot Deus Guess Machina! He averages all of our guesses together for his own guess Dinosaur - Leonard - adds up original costs, retail value Ghost - Polterguest - always guesses 300 Shannon's List Dan's List Adam's list John's List Show Topic - remake/remaster/reimagining  Which do you prefer?   What is your favorite game that has had one of these treatments? Third Strongest Mole — 6/13/26, 8:47 AM I'll try to give my condensed thoughts here since I wont' make it onto next week's show. The only remakes that I consider justified are games that truly had potential they failed to live up to. Games that are perfectly good as they are don't need remakes - just ports. While I appreciate keeping classic games available for people who don't have original hardware, ports address that problem in a much more cost effective way - and the "need" for remasters is selling a solution to a problem created by the planned obsolescence of the idea of console generations. We don't actually need new hardware (at least not to play old games)- console makers just need new hardware and software to sell. By all means keep the classics available through reprints and officially licensed emulation. But those aren't new releases and we shouldn't pretend they are. If you really "can't wait to play Ocarina of time again" - plug in the N64, or boot up the NSO app. Community Couch Savannah the Hyena Queen — 6/12/26, 6:59 PM I like remakes, for two reasons. One, they allow a new generation of players to experience an old game with the conveniences of the modern era. And two, they give fans a brand new way to experience their favorite games. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire was the first point for me, and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl was the second. That being said, I think Nintendo has been doing too many remakes and updates to old games recently and not enough new ones. But maybe that's just cause I'm not super interested in Star Fox or Ocarina of Time Drex1981 [ARC],  — 6/12/26, 7:04 PM Remakes are tricky things. One of the side they can fix issues that at the time couldn't be addressed. They can expand on storylines and tell the story with more detail. They can introduce new players to these games and create new fans. On the other side they can be souless cash grabs and change what makes these games great. MooseGooseNinja [SEAF],  — 6/12/26, 7:18 PM I like remakes as long as they do the original game justice (looking at RE3R), but otherwise I do like the idea of remakes for the same reasons Savannah mentions. I generally try to judge remakes on a case-by-case basis though, and my personal favorite part of remakes is playing both versions (if I can get my hands on the original) and comparing and contrasting the two. I also try not to decide which is better or anything, but just objectively finding differences. It was the most fun for RE4 because I LOVE those games. My favorite game that got a remake was probably Dead Space. DoubleD — 6/12/26, 8:57 PM I've been mulling this over for a bit now and I think I like remasters the most. Making older games accessible to a new audience while improving the graphics and QoL features will get me every time (Don't ask me how many versions of the various Final Fantasy games I've bought through the years). Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is probably my favorite remaster though. It kept one of my favorite games mostly the same but added amazing voice acting that let me experience one of my favorite video game stories in a completely different way! Your Wallet's Defense Attorney — 6/13/26, 12:16 AM I prefer remakes that change stuff more than faithful remakes. They are more interesting to analyze, and they provide more of a reason to play them if you have access to the original. Solo [nDAD],  — 6/13/26, 8:37 AM I welcome a remaster of the game. The trend now in console camps is to remaster games to bring them into the contemporary level of graphics and/or new art design to make them more appealing to new generation of gamers. OoT is a cherished entry into the Zelda series. Off of this one entry we get the branches into the Downfall causing BoTW/ToTK, Child and Adult timelines of Zelda lore. Would be interesting if in the remaster then made methods to connect the game to others; for example the lore we see in BoTW/ToTK that many have played (even those that are not deep dive Zelda fanboys and just played off IP recognition alone). Hoping myself the remaster is not a lockstep redo of the original since that version is already out there. I find it more exciting if they were to add new story beat elements into a new artwork scheme. adam — 6/13/26, 9:25 AM i find the discourse around remakes and remasters to be kind of pointless, because if you don't like them, just don't play them.   is there a conversation to be had about companies rereleasing games instead of taking risks on new ips? yeah absolutely. but i think that's different then should these remakes/remasters exist.   emulation and ports are important in the preservation of media, but remakes/remasters   update games to be more accessible on modern hardware.   remakes/remasters recontextualize their stories into the modern broader canon.   i think people are excited to play oot remake/remaster because of the first two reasons. i don't think anyone would pretend that the z targeting and camera controls in the original are good. (innovative for the time but obviously not great in comparison to today) so updated qol features, coupled with excitement to see how they will recontextualize oot to better fit with the current branch of botw/totk, and hopefully give us a glimpse of what's to come next   (In response to adam) Your Wallet's Defense Attorney — 7:56 AM People get annoyed about remakes because of the opportunity cost. Time you take developing a remake/remaster is time you could have spent developing something new. So there are some stakes to the discussion. Also, as a community based around gaming, we like talking about games. So we wanna talk about whether remakes/remasters are interesting to us, and listen to how other like minded people feel about them. The discussion itself is often the point. (Adam thinks the opportunity cost argument doesn't hold water because plenty of studios are able to output both) (Flightsy says there is STILL an opportunity cost. And resources were spent) (Adam responds) adam — 12:16 PM I can't recall a situation where a new game or a game that's in development was sidelined by a remake/remaster. if anything the remakes and remasters make studios more money to put into new titles.   …   but like i said i think really the bigger issue in the industry is the live service model/microtransactions being pushed by suits in c-suites. it's why naughty dog hasn't dropped anything, it's why xbox is in such a bad spot financially. *and then to fill the void of canceled games companies just rerelease or remaster something   …   i think it's an interesting topic, and i think that the recent uptick in remakes/remasters is a barometer for the health of the current industry. and if it's good or bad is up to interpretation, or more likely somewhere in the middle Xomber — 1:35 PM Have mixed feelings on remakes. Some games are just classics and it doesn't really do much to put a fresh coat of paint on a classic. I will still play them, however, hence the mixed feelings. Like when Last of Us 2 was remade on the PS5, it seemed, pointless to me, but since I hadn't played it up until that point that'd be the option I would go with. I still like good games being remade to a certain extent, but are we going to do that every 5-10 years or every 2-3 generations? Xomber — 1:39 PM Another thing I wonder, would a remake make some bad games good? I'm curious about that. Could a story be fleshed out more, or an annoying game mechanic be improved to where it's not cumbersome? That's what actually interests me. Flightsy: I was definitely disappointed by the OOT remake announcement, and in general by the large amount of old content on the Switch 2. But in the end, that's not actually what I'm disappointed about. I'm disappointed that a year in, I still don't really feel compelled to buy the Switch 2. I'm annoyed about the remasters because it reminds me of that core issue, but it isn't actually the issue itself. And there's no way to know if a decision not to make those remasters would have actually led to a world that fixes that issue… Thanks for listening to the RetroLogic Podcast!

Norah is visiting Tucson this week, so she has stopped by the studio to procure some Mango affection (via bribery) and make an appearance on the podcast! They were planning on doing a different word initially, but they are keeping it in the same wheelhouse to make a distinction between the two words—often used as synonyms. After a quick introduction where Ben talks about the game review code he received for the recent port of the N64 game Glover, Norah and Ben discuss their thoughts on the differences between retro and vintage, antique and vintage collections or items, and educational techniques that aren't keeping pace with technological advancements.

In today's Daily Fix:Activision has revealed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, the latest in the rebooted sub-franchise of Call of Duty. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the series is leaving the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One behind (they are 14-year-old consoles after all), although some elements of online multiplayer will remain playable for previous installments. In other news, the Steam Deck is sold out at Valve's online store, despite an immediate (and significant) price hike for the OLED models. And finally, a classic N64 game is coming Nintendo Switch Online, and its theme song might just get stuck in your head.IGN Live 2026 is happening next weekend in Downtown Los Angeles.

Episode 321 - Current Gen PodcastDan, Tim, and Kyle are joined by a late-arriving Jeff to talk about the narrative adventure, Mixtape. The reviews are through the roof, but how is the game? We are enjoying it and talk about that as well as Motorslice, Pragmata, Crimson Desert, and the recently released Mortal Kombat II movie. Also, Switch prices are going up, but Star Fox is getting a remake of the N64 classic, so Nintendo is somehow still winning. VIDEO Podcast: YouTube or SpotifyAUDIO Podcast: Apple or search for us wherever you like to listen!

This week on the Mega64 Podcast, we finally tackle the ultimate question: was the Nintendo 64 actually a great console, or are we all just blinded by nostalgia? We're looking back on our favorite N64 memories, debating the system's best games, and figuring out once and for all whether the Nintendo 64 truly deserves its legendary status.

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the latest installment in the Alphabet Soup-er Series. It was Kris's pick for the letter D, and he went with DK: King of Swing for Game Boy advance. Is this weird DK spinoff worth your time? What is its connection to the Black Box NES oddball Clu Clu Land? Does any of this matter? Let's find out! Then, in Week Old News, Mega Man Xtreme gets a little Xtreme-er, Donut Dodo's N64 port gets an update, Star Fox puppets face destruction, and someone goes to extreme lengths to scalp Pokemon cards. Finally, in the Checkpoint, Kris sadly doesn't have any updates on the fridge saga, but he did play some Panel de Pon, which is always a good thing. Meanwhile, Dan is doing more work for less pay because he's nuts, is enjoying Vampire Crawlers WAY more than Kris is, and has some big Ball x Pit plans for the weekend. Enjoy! See Our Faces!!!

1998 erscheint ein Spiel, das (gemeinsam mit anderen Titeln) ein neues Genre etabliert, Taktik-Shooter. Das Spiel ist Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, kein einfacher Action-Shooter, sondern ein brutaler, planungsintensiver Einsatzsimulator, in dem ein einziger Schuss tödlich sein kann. Ein neues Genre ist geboren, der Taktik-Shooter. Gunnar und Christian sprechen über das einzigartige, unbarmherzige Gameplay und analysieren, was Rainbow Six so einzigartig macht: die tödliche Spielmechanik, die strategische Planung vor jedem Einsatz und die sperrige, aber faszinierende KI, die selbst einfache Befehle manchmal in Chaos verwandelt. Die Entstehungsgeschichte reicht von Ronald Reagans Einfluss auf Tom Clancys Karriere, über die Gründung von Red Storm Entertainment, die Nutzung einer ungeeigneten Technologie bis zur Parallelentwicklung zum gleichnamigen Roman. Es geht um die Frage, warum das Spiel trotz seiner technischen Mängel und nervigen Eigenheiten bis heute eine treue Fangemeinde hat – und warum moderne Taktik-Shooter wie Rainbow Six Siege zwar den Namen tragen, aber kaum noch etwas mit dem Original gemein haben. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Erscheinungstermin: 21. August 1998 Plattform: Windows (später Portierungen für PlayStation, N64, Mac, Dreamcast) Entwickler: Red Storm Entertainment Publisher: Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive, Red Storm Entertainment Genre: Taktik-Shooter Designer: Brian Upton, Carl Schnurr Musik: Bill Brown Produktions-Credits: Sprecher, Redaktion: Christian Schmidt, Gunnar Lott Gast in dieser Folge: Dr. Michael Flintrop Audioproduktion: Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro & Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Chris Hülsbeck (Musik)
