Podcasts about Namco

Feeling old? You might do after this episode. A classic old Nintendo series has had a big new twist, and it's got us asking “is Mario Kart World made for us?”, plus heading back to the nineties with Humongous Entertainment and Mega Cat Studios and the re-release of Backyard Baseball '97. In case that weren't enough old video games, there's more action from Hamster's Arcade Archives series, with a look at Namco's Air Combat 22 and Aqua Jet. Away from the screens, over to the tabletop, and headed back in time to mythological Greece, Cyclades Legendary Edition from Open Sesame Games is another classic by Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc that's been given a loving restoration. Tired? Do what one of us has done, and treat your poor old back to a Herman Miller Mirra 2 Butterfly office chair.

🎙️ Rejugando surca de nuevo los cielos: Panzer Dragoon Zwei y Orta En este segundo episodio especial, volvemos a montar dragones y nos llevan directos a la Saturn de SEGA y a la primera Xbox con dos joyas inolvidables: Panzer Dragoon II Zwei y Panzer Dragoon Orta. Con su habitual mezcla de nostalgia, datos técnicos y mucho cachondeo, el equipo repasa cómo Zwei mejoró en todo al original con rutas alternativas, el mítico “morphing” de dragones y una fluidez técnica que hizo historia en Saturn. Además, se detienen en la historia de Lundi y Laghi, esa relación simbiótica que marcó para siempre a los fans de la saga. El vuelo sigue con Orta, el regreso triunfal en Xbox tras la caída de Dreamcast. Aquí SEGA apostó por la espectacularidad y Smilebit firmó un shooter de culto con una protagonista misteriosa, un apartado gráfico que todavía hoy luce increíble en Series X/S y una banda sonora que se quedó grabada en la memoria gamer. Por el camino, no faltan anécdotas de revistas noventeras, curiosidades de hardware olvidado de SEGA y reflexiones sobre por qué estos títulos siguen siendo pilares de culto de los videojuegos. ✨ Si te gustan los dragones, la historia de SEGA y los podcasts llenos de pasión retro, este programa es imprescindible.

Rejugando 272: Wolverine, Forza Horizon 6 y el caos del Tokyo Game Show 2025 En Rejugando 272 el equipo vuelve a la carga con un episodio lleno de humor, y un repaso a lo más jugoso de la actualidad del videojuego. Tres grandes nombres se llevan buena parte del protagonismo: Marvel’s Wolverine, Forza Horizon 6 y, cómo no, las sorpresas que ha dejado el Tokyo Game Show 2025. State of Play con cosas como Saros, Zero Parades, Nioh 3 y mucho más Wolverine: hype con garras ¿Será el juego definitivo de superhéroes? ¿Qué tiene este título para que la comunidad esté tan revolucionada? En el programa se habla largo y tendido de ello… pero mejor lo descubres escuchando. Forza Horizon 6 llega a Japon La saga de conducción arcade más popular prepara su regreso, y en Rejugando se debate qué novedades pueden ponerla otra vez en lo más alto Tokyo Game Show 2025: Japón no defrauda El TGS vuelve a ser una tormenta de anuncios, regresos inesperados y ausencias que hacen hablar a toda la comunidad. El equipo analiza lo más destacado… a su manera, claro. ¿Por qué escuchar este episodio? Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

¿A qué juegan nuestros hijos? Seis padres que también son jugadores hablan claro sobre Fortnite, Roblox y otros títulos de moda. Aprenderás qué significan los PEGI, qué reacciones observar y qué signos de alerta conviene tener en cuenta. ¿Te preguntas…? - ¿Qué riesgos reales hay en los juegos online? - ¿Cuánto tiempo es demasiado? - ¿Cómo interpretar el PEGI de un juego? - ¿Qué hago si mi hijo se frustra o se aísla jugando? En este episodio especial de Rejugando, el equipo se sumerge en un tema tan cotidiano como apasionante: cómo conviven los videojuegos con la paternidad, la maternidad y la crianza de los más pequeños. Con un panel repleto de madres, padres y jugadores de toda la vida, el debate arranca con una pregunta clave: 👉 ¿A qué edad es bueno que los niños empiecen a jugar a videojuegos? Hoy en día, el 84% de los niños entre 6 y 10 años juega a videojuegos, y no solo hablamos de consolas: móviles, tablets y apps educativas también cuentan como parte de ese mundo interactivo. Beneficios de los videojuegos en la infancia El programa repasa varios puntos positivos de introducir a los peques en el mundo gamer, siempre con supervisión: Desarrollo de la motricidad fina gracias a juegos de plataformas o puzzles. Coordinación visual y auditiva con títulos coloridos y musicales. Creatividad e imaginación en sandbox como Minecraft o Roblox. Socialización digital, donde Fortnite se convierte en el “nuevo banco del parque”, un lugar para charlar con amigos además de jugar. Interés cultural y educativo, con casos de niños que aprenden geografía o historia gracias a sagas como Assassin’s Creed. Riesgos y señales de alerta Por supuesto, no todo es de color de rosa. Los padres del programa comparten anécdotas de frustración, obsesión o enfados cuando toca apagar la consola. Entre las red flags más comentadas: Irritabilidad al desconectar. Preferencia absoluta por las pantallas frente al juego físico. Obsesión con progresar más rápido que los compañeros. Riesgos en plataformas difíciles de controlar, como Roblox, donde aparecen micropagos, ganchos psicológicos y contactos con desconocidos. El papel de los padres El mensaje central del episodio es claro: los videojuegos no son el enemigo, el problema es la falta de acompañamiento. Igual que un padre observa a su hijo en el parque, también debe interesarse por lo que juega, investigar títulos, entender el PEGI y establecer límites de tiempo y de contenido. Además, se insiste en la importancia de jugar juntos, compartir la experiencia y convertirla en un espacio de confianza y aprendizaje. Reflexiones finales El podcast desmonta el mito de que los videojuegos “aislan”. En realidad, son una herramienta cultural más, comparable a leer un cómic, ver una serie o salir a la calle con amigos. La clave está en el equilibrio: un poco de aire libre, un poco de pantallas, y mucha supervisión. El episodio también recuerda que la industria ha evolucionado: existen juegos pensados para niños, experiencias educativas y controles parentales cada vez más completos. Pero la última palabra siempre la tienen los adultos que acompañan a los pequeños en este viaje digital.

Empezamos fuerte con Cronos: New Dawn, la última apuesta de Bloober Team que mezcla viajes temporales, distopías y terror con un acabado técnico de escándalo. Opiniones, hype y algún que otro debate sobre si es su mejor trabajo hasta la fecha. El plato fuerte, cómo no, fue Team Cherry y la eterna espera de Silksong. Repasamos por qué el fenómeno sigue tan vivo, cómo un indie puede condicionar la conversación de toda la comunidad y si de verdad la industria debería aprender algo de su forma de trabajar (para bien o para mal). Entre medias, nos dio tiempo a debatir sobre Silent Hill F, el futuro de los DLCs, precios abusivos que levantan cejas, chollos digitales que hacen temblar la tarjeta, y hasta qué significa ser “gamer” en una industria que cada vez parece más de lujo. No falta la nostalgia: cumpleaños de clasicazos como Kingdom Hearts, GTA V o Ghosts 'n Goblins, con risas incluidas recordando cómo los sufrimos en su día. Un programa con debate, risas, críticas con cariño y pasión por el videojuego, que demuestra que, pase lo que pase en la industria, seguimos aquí para darle al mando y al micro. 👉 Escúchalo ya en iVoox y Twitch, y cuéntanos: ¿tú de qué lado estás, optimista o apocalíptico con la nueva industria?

¡Atención, soldados! Bienvenid@s a un nuevo episodio de la Iniciativa Podgaming. Esta vez dejamos atrás los pasillos grises y nos tiramos de cabeza a la jungla más peligrosa que jamás pisó un héroe de videojuegos: la de METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SNAKE EATER. ¿Sabías que Snake puede comerse literalmente cualquier cosa que se mueva? Desde serpientes hasta ranas venenosas… ¡y algunas hasta suenan como un ringtone! ¿Sabías que la intro de Snake Eater se grabó como si fuera una auténtica canción de James Bond, con orquesta completa y todo el glamour posible para un tipo en mallas de camuflaje? ¿Sabías que si te disparan en la pierna tienes que sacar la bala, coserte tú mismo y luego seguir la misión como si nada? ¡Realismo made in Kojima! En este especial de GAMELX nos ponemos las botas de combate para repasar una de las obras más queridas de Hideo Kojima, con jefazos inolvidables, un villano tan carismático como Volgin y un duelo final contra The Boss que todavía nos hace temblar el pulso. Así que ya sabes: súbele el volumen al codec, carga el tranquilizante y busca una rama en la que esconderte. Porque esta operación no es una misión cualquiera, es Snake Eater. Y si después de escuchar esto te quedas con hambre… tranquilo: siempre puedes probar suerte con un poco de serpiente cruda. Tastes like chicken.

🎮 Rejugando: Panzer Dragoon – El vuelo que cambió la historia de SEGA Saturn Con Mike Bueno, Adrian Plaza, Ramón Mendez y Raffa Valencia En este episodio de Rejugando, nos subimos a lomos del legendario dragón azul para redescubrir Panzer Dragoon, uno de los juegos más icónicos y rompemoldes del catálogo de SEGA Saturn. Es el primero de una trilogía de programas dedicados a esta saga de culto, y no podía empezar de mejor forma: con nostalgia, pasión y un montón de datos alucinantes. 🕹️ Un título adelantado a su tiempo Publicado en 1995, Panzer Dragoon dejó boquiabiertos a jugadores y revistas gracias a su espectacular apartado técnico. ¿Sabías que el juego se mueve en un falso 3D sin usar polígonos reales? Todo está construido con sprites, efectos ópticos y una ingeniería que exprimía los chips gráficos de Saturn como si fueran plastilina mágica. 🎬 Una intro de 8 minutos en CD-ROM... ¡en 1995! Mientras otros juegos apenas arrancaban con un texto o un par de imágenes, Panzer Dragoon abría con una cinemática CGI de ocho minutos que parecía sacada de una película de ciencia ficción. Sin cortes, con narrativa, banda sonora épica y hasta voces... ¡En un idioma inventado! 📚 Lore profundo y universo propio Inspirado por Nausicaä del Valle del Viento, Dune, Star Wars o los cómics de Moebius, Panzer Dragoon construyó un universo postapocalíptico donde la tecnología antigua y lo biológico se mezclaban. Las criaturas, los entornos, las torres, el imperio... todo tenía una coherencia estética y narrativa que te atrapaba aunque no entendieras todo a la primera. Y además, el juego creó su propio idioma ficticio. 🧠 Cerebros jóvenes con libertad creativa El director Yukio Futatsugi tenía solo 23 años cuando lideró al Team Andromeda. Le dieron libertad para diseñar el mundo antes incluso de tener luz verde para el proyecto. Así nacieron los cimientos de una de las sagas más queridas —y olvidadas injustamente— del catálogo de SEGA. 🎶 Una banda sonora de película La música orquestada de Yoshitaka Azuma acompaña el vuelo del dragón con una sensibilidad que pocos juegos lograban en los 90. El primer nivel ya arranca con un crescendo que te mete de lleno en una epopeya fantástica. Como bien dijeron en el programa: es cine interactivo con alma arcade. 🧩 Jugabilidad arcade con alma propia El juego introdujo el sistema de cámara giratoria en 360°, el lock-on con múltiples enemigos y fases repletas de acción medida al milímetro. Sin power-ups, sin florituras: todo se basa en reflejos, estrategia y control. Puro ADN arcade de SEGA, pero con un envoltorio sci-fi inolvidable. 📖 Con Ramón Méndez y su libro “La voluntad de los antiguos” El programa cuenta con la participación de Ramón Méndez, experto en la saga y autor de un libro recién publicado sobre Panzer Dragoon. Nos habla del legado de la serie, sus conexiones ocultas y de cómo una saga tan de nicho puede seguir viva en los corazones de los jugadores tres décadas después. 🔥 ¿Y lo mejor? Esto solo es el comienzo. En los próximos especiales se abordarán Panzer Dragoon Zwei, Orta y Saga, así que ve calentando tu nostalgia.

🛑ALERTA SPOILERS 🎮 Rejugando Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – Un indie francés que desafía al tiempo, al arte y a la muerte 🎨 En este especial de Rejugando, nos adentramos en uno de los juegos más fascinantes del año: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, un RPG táctico y narrativo que mezcla lo mejor del arte clásico, la filosofía existencialista y la acción a ritmo de música orquestal inolvidable. Desde su desarrollo casi artesanal —liderado por un antiguo trabajador de Ubisoft que reclutó equipo por Reddit y SoundCloud— hasta su potente guion nacido del dolor y la inspiración familiar, todo en Expedition 33 rezuma amor por el videojuego como medio. 🖌️ Arte que cobra vida Ambientado en un mundo pictórico roto por un cataclismo, Expedition 33 nos pone al frente de una expedición condenada, enfrentada a un destino sellado por la misteriosa Peintresse. Con influencias visuales de Ghibli, Final Fantasy, Alice in Wonderland y hasta Dark Souls, el juego nos habla de la muerte, el sacrificio y la memoria… todo envuelto en una atmósfera francesa melancólica e inolvidable. 🎼 Una banda sonora legendaria Compuesta por el hasta entonces desconocido Lorien Testard —descubierto por sus piezas de guitarra en SoundCloud durante el confinamiento—, la música del juego es otro protagonista más. Más de 150 temas que pasan del rock progresivo al piano íntimo o al acordeón clásico francés, evocando desde Persona 5 hasta Joe Hisaishi de Studio Ghibli. La vocalista Alice, también amateur, fue reclutada durante la pandemia y ha terminado formando parte de un fenómeno mundial. ⚔️ Combate que premia la maestría El sistema de batalla recuerda a Devil May Cry, Slay the Spire y Final Fantasy, premiando el buen timing y la estrategia en el uso de cartas, evasión y puntos de acción. Cada personaje tiene un estilo único, desde el científico Gustave hasta Monoko —sí, un perro con rol jugable—, pasando por la protagonista Maëlle, cuya identidad es uno de los giros más potentes del juego. 📜 Narrativa que te rompe en dos Escrito por Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, quien empezó como actriz de doblaje ocasional y terminó siendo jefa narrativa, el guion está lleno de giros, simbolismo y carga emocional. Referencias a Final Fantasy X, Albert Camus, La Horde du Contrevent y una reflexión constante sobre el arte, la vida y la muerte. El juego no tiene miedo de hablar de trauma, pérdida y renuncia, y lo hace con una honestidad brutal. 🧠 Universo profundo y rejugable Con las expediciones previas que dejaron su huella, gremios artísticos, pintores divinos y personajes con nombre y trasfondo propios, el mundo de Clair Obscur está construido con una atención al detalle impresionante. Es un juego que, sin necesitar 90 horas de duración, deja una marca profunda y duradera, tanto por lo que cuenta como por cómo lo cuenta. 🖼️ Un homenaje al videojuego y al jugador Este título es una carta de amor al medio: desde sus referencias a FFVII, Bayonetta o Journey, hasta detalles como una partida de Triple Triad entre NPCs. Expedition 33 es un juego hecho por jugadores, para jugadores, y se nota en cada pincelada. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

🎮 Rejugando 266 – Ghost of Yotei, vacaciones, Game Pass bajo fuego y el mono vuelve en Donkey Kong Bananza ESTE PROGRAMA SERIA IMPOSIBLE SIN NUESTROS SUSCRIPTORES En el episodio final de la temporada, Rejugando se despide por todo lo alto antes de irse a la playa, pero no sin antes dejarnos un programa cargado de actualidad, debate y humor. 👉 Arrancamos con Ghost of Yotei, la esperada secuela de Ghost of Tsushima, que ha deslumbrado con su tráiler cargado de nuevas armas, mecánicas, modo Kurosawa potenciado y un lobo compañero que nos tiene enamorados. 💥 Luego el programa se calienta con el tema estrella: los despidos en la industria, el incierto futuro de Romero Games y la gran rajada de Rafael Colantonio (ex-Arkane) contra el modelo de Game Pass, al que acusa de insostenible y tóxico para la industria AAA. ¿Están de acuerdo los de Rejugando? Spoiler: no todos. 🧨 También repasamos el escándalo de Krafton, que retrasa Subnautica 2 solo para no pagar bonus millonarios, y los despidos sorpresa en Secret 6 Madrid, cuyos trabajadores se enteraron por Twitter. 🍌 ¿Hay esperanza? Sí, y se llama Donkey Kong Bananza, el colorido regreso del mono favorito de Nintendo para Switch 2, con la gente de Mario Odyssey a los mandos. Además, Hotel Barcelona y Stalker 2 confirman fechas y plataformas, y Astro Bot sigue creciendo con nuevos niveles y personajes. 🎁 Como guinda final, hay reflexión sobre la preservación de juegos online, la polémica de las Game Key Cards en Switch, y un aviso importante: aunque Rejugando se tome vacaciones, seguirán saliendo especiales semanales en iVoox con joyas como Expedición 33 y Panzer Dragoon. Además, en rejugando.com te puedes enterar de todo, con calendario, artículos y contenido veraniego a tope. 💬 Un episodio completísimo que cierra temporada como debe ser: con risas, crítica, cariño por los videojuegos y una comunidad increíble.

The boys sit down and talk about the new Namco showcase event. Surprisingly there are some solid games from franchises like Digimon, Death Note, and My Hero Academia.

WELCOME TO THE STAGE OF HISTORY. It's time to talk about the GameCube virtual console and the three “launch” games so to speak, starting the trilogy with Soul Calibur II, a game Mike & Neil covered over 4 years ago and now get to look at with fresh eyes. Friend of the show Luigi (@luigisappartment) joins the episode to dive into the world of Link, the Soul Edge, and the unique relationship Nintendo and Namco had in the early 2000s that made this nearly unthinkable inclusion happen.

Namco's Ridge Racer series. Beginning with its 1993 arcade debut and stretching through its early PlayStation-era dominance, the series was defined by speed, style, and corner-sliding gameplay that favored flair over realism. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TCW Podcast Episode 235- Coin-op Legends of Japan   Long before they entered the world of video games, a generation of Japanese entrepreneurs built their fortunes in the coin-operated amusement business. In this episode, we trace the early lives and business ventures of five pioneering founders who helped lay the groundwork for companies like Tehkan (later Tecmo), Sammy, and IPM (later IREM). These are personal stories rarely told in English — tales of hustle, reinvention, and the road from postwar struggle to arcade success.   TCW 052 - The Many Faces of Konami: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-many-faces-of-konami/ TCW 153 - Nintendo Playing With Cards: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/nintendo-playing-with-cards/ TCW 154 - Nintendo Playing with Controversy: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/nintendo-playing-with-controversy/ TCW 155 - Nintendo Playing With Toys: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/nintendo-playing-with-toys/ TCW  008 - Birth of the Japanese Game Center: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/birth-of-the-japanese-game-center/ TCW 077 - Invading Taito Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/invading-taito-part-1/ TCW 078 - Invading Taito Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/invading-taito-part-2/ TCW 005 - The Untold History of SEGA: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-untold-history-of-sega/ TCW 033 - The Saga of SEGA: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-saga-of-sega/ TCW 029 - 50 Years of Namco: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/50-years-of-namco/ TCW 201 - Advanced Balls and Paddles Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/advanced-balls-and-paddles-part-1/ TCW 202 - Advanced Balls and Paddles Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/advanced-balls-and-paddles-part-2/ New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

fWotD Episode 2949: Namco Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 1 June 2025, is Namco.Namco Limited was a Japanese multinational video game and entertainment company founded in 1955 which operated video arcades and amusement parks globally, produced video games, films, toys, and arcade cabinets. They were one of the most influential figures in the worldwide coin-op and arcade game industry; Namco produced several multi-million-selling game franchises, such as Pac-Man, Galaxian, Tekken, Tales, Ridge Racer, and Ace Combat. In 2006, Namco merged with Bandai to form what is now named Bandai Namco Holdings; the standalone Namco brand continues to be used for video arcade and other entertainment products by the group's Bandai Namco Amusements division.The Namco name comes from Nakamura Manufacturing Company, derived from its founder Masaya Nakamura. In the 1960s, it manufactured electro-mechanical arcade games such as the 1965 hit Periscope. It entered the video game industry after acquiring the struggling Japanese division of Atari in 1974, distributing games such as Breakout in Japan. The company renamed itself Namco in 1977 and published Gee Bee, its first original video game, a year later. Among Namco's first major hits was the fixed shooter Galaxian in 1979. It was followed by Pac-Man in 1980. Namco prospered during the golden age of arcade video games in the early 1980s, releasing popular titles such as Galaga, Xevious, and Pole Position.Namco entered the home market in 1984 with conversions of its arcade games for the MSX and the Nintendo Family Computer, later expanding to competing platforms, such as the Sega Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, and PlayStation. Namco continued to produce hit games in the 1990s, including Ridge Racer, Tekken, and Taiko no Tatsujin, but later endured financial difficulties due to the struggling Japanese economy and diminishing arcade market. This led to the 2005 announcement of a merge with toy maker Bandai, which was completed in 2006 as Namco Bandai Holdings; Namco's former video games division was merged into a subsidiary of the holdings company, Namco Bandai Games, now called Bandai Namco Entertainment. Namco is remembered in retrospect for its unique corporate model, its importance to the industry, and its advancements in technology.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:51 UTC on Sunday, 1 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Namco on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

Namco's ground-breaking arcade game Pac-Man had its first focus test in a Tokyo cinema foyer on May 22nd, 1980. Created by 24 year-old Toru Iwatani, it was originally called ‘Puck-Man' and designed to appeal to women as well as men. Each of the ghosts - Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde - was programmed to have its own personality using AI routines, creating a sense of ‘character' despite the pixelated rendering. Atari declined the opportunity to distribute the game in the U.S. - where, in just a year, it generated $1billion of revenue - in quarters… In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why the gameplay wipes out after 256 levels; explore the craze that saw a Pac-man strategy textbook shift one million copies; and consider why the game's name was changed to avoid some unfortunate graffiti…  Further Reading: • ‘The game that ate the world: 40 facts on Pac-Man's 40th birthday' (The Guardian, 2020): https://www.theguardian.com/games/2020/may/22/pac-man-video-game-40-years-old • ‘Why Players Around the World Gobbled Up Pac-Man' (Smithsonian Magazine): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/why-players-around-world-gobbled-up-pac-man-180974902/ • ‘Pac-Man Level 256 - the last level in the game' (The Glitch Gamer, 2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcI42czB2q4 Love the show?

ACTION! We put the pedal to the metal in our light gun miniseries with Namco's Time Crisis. Seek cover as we explore the entire series starting with V.S.S.E. agent Richard Miller and ending with whatever Time Crisis 5 was. Did Namco's attempt to top Sega's Virtua Cop succeed? Is Time Crisis 2 the most complete light gun game experience? What are the most addictive roguelikes? Does Wild Dog, leader of Wild Dog, own a wild dog? With the Krispy Kreme/Pac-Man donut partnership it seems like a good time for us to identify which arcade character we think would make the best flavor for a donut. We also answer: if the last video game we played were turned into a pinball machine, what would it be like, and what gameplay features would it have?

Rising to peak popularity in the 1990s, 2.5D platformer games were a defining genre of consoles like the original PlayStation. The first one we will be discussing is Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, developed by Namco and released in North America on March 10th, 1998. Join Klonoa on a fantastic journey in the land of Phantomile, where the mysterious crash of a flying ship starts an epic quest through colorful worlds of thrills and danger.The brothers enjoyed the nostalgic feeling of the game and offered praise for the unique boss battles (ding ding ding). Ant liked that there were consequences for not playing well enough while taking some shots at modern games. Tom compares Door to Phantomile to one of the biggest and most successful Triple A games ever made and offers a scorching hot take.This week instead of a poll the brothers are asking a trivia question. What animal do you think Klonoa is? Cat, fox, or rabbit?Follow us onX @BrosBossBattlesYouTube @BrosBossBattlesInstagram @BrosBossBattleshttps://brothersandbossbattles.com/

Pole Position and Pole Position II, the classic arcade racing games that defined an entire genre. Developed by Namco and distributed by Atari in the US released in the early '80s, Pole Position introduced the world to realistic track-based racing with qualifying rounds, intense time-based competition, and scaling sprite graphics that made players feel like they were truly behind the wheel.

John Ray joined Atari Inc in 1977 as a hardware engineer, learning the ropes with 1978's Fire-Truck, arguably the first truly co-op arcade game and a distinctive arcade presence due in no small part to his analogue circuitry audio. Ray was also involved with the Atari-licensed versions of Namco's Dig Dug and Xevious, the awesome arcade version of Tetris and - into the 1990s - the hugely popular San Francisco Rush racing series of the 90s.

Few developers have had as long and prolific a career as our guest, Graeme Bayless. From working on mainframes, to selling Kaypros, to playtesting Accolade's launch titles, to producing games for SSI, Sega Technical Institute, Hyperbole Studios, Dynamix, EA, Eidos, and NetherRealm Studios. In Part 4, we talk about the decade that Graeme spent in the wilderness of the game's industry, during which he worked on titles such as Tomb Raider Legend and Anniversary at Crystal Dynamics, tried to salvage projects like Enslaved, Dead to Rights Retribution and Splatterhouse at Namco, returned to sports titles at 2K Games before getting the chance to start his own studio, Fierce Wombat. Graeme gives us amazing insights into the life of a game dev like few others can or would.

Matt's going to title this episode "Game Industry Comes to Jesus" because it's funnier - so if you're on YouTube later and see it: it is the same episode. And what is the episode about? Well, it turns out mobile gaming is not actually profitable for anyone outside of a couple big companies. Capcom, Square, Namco - all closing their mobile gaming divisions after a decade plus because they've done nothing but lose money. Personally, I was shocked because all we ever hear is how much money King is making. Well, I guess it's only them. So, what does that mean for gaming in general? For mobile gaming specifically? And will I make the obvious joke about coming to Jesus? (Yes, near the end, yes. Of course. Look at me.)
