Things are officially starting to go off the rails. The Evil Narwhal King is prepping his army (probably while sipping evil tea), and the GWS Rebellion has somehow teamed up with our trio of chaos: Jay, Brother Barkington (still flammable), and Kowasu (still pretending this is fine). But when they uncover the real truth about what's happening on StarTropics—things get weird. Like, lava-lamp-conspiracy-weird. One thing's for sure. they're about to be smack bang in the middle of it all... again. What could possibly go wrong?
On this jaw-dropping (and occasionally jaw-snapping) episode of Nerd Nebula, our intrepid adventurers—Jay, Brother Barkington, and Kowasu—find themselves knee-deep (or fin-deep) in an oceanic conspiracy. The newcomer, GWS, a juvenile great white shark with a surprisingly keen sense of humor and an alarming addiction to quoting action movies, spills the fish guts on a secret that shakes the very tides of StarTropics. Will they sink or swim? Find out in this fin-tastic, tail-spinning episode of Nerd Nebula!
This week on The Nerd Nebula, the fearless (and questionably competent) trio of Jay, Brother Barkington, and Kowasu embark on a high-seas adventure in the tropical waters of Star Tropics. Their mission? Capture a great white shark pup for a shady vendor. Simple, right? Well, as fate (and poor navigation skills) would have it, our heroes end up sailing a little too far north. Instead of a paradise filled with sunshine and sharks, they find themselves in the freezing polar oceans—where their biggest problem isn't the temperature, but the gang of very territorial ocean unicorns (also known as narwhals) now circling their boat. Do narwhals have a strict "no trespassing" policy? Yes. Are they willing to joust intruders with their majestic tusks? Also yes. Can Brother Barkington charm them with interpretive dance? Probably not, but he's not going to try anyway.
We're back again and we're finally finishing up our commentary on the February 1994 issue of Nintendo Power. We start off talking about an interesting device that put Nintendo games in airplanes and maybe inspired the Wii, kinda? Who knows? Also, quick behind-the-scenes note; the first musical break is from a game called Noughts and Crosses which was a title exclusive to certain Gateway Systems. It's basically just fancy tic tac toe. There was also a Hangman game and a slide puzzle called Postcard Puzzle. Noughts and Crosses is the only one we have footage and music of. We're also talking about Metroid comics, politicians, X-Men, Simpsons, Startropics 2, and a whole lot more. So thank granny, sit down, and listen to this podcast. You have been watching too much tv already.

You would expect that first-party game releases for a system would dry up three years after its successor is released. But that certainly wasn't the case with Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II! Released in 1994 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, StarTropics II was a bit of an anomaly. Developed by the legendary Nintendo division R&D3, this time-traveling sequel to StarTropics was, much like its predecessor, only found on the NES in North America. It was also an 8-bit game in a predominantly 16-bit era. So, our question today: Was StarTropics II a lost gem that was ignored because it was on an obsolete system? Or was it rightfully forgotten by gamers at the time? Let's jump back in time and find out!Featuring: Jono Logan, Nick Mangiaracina, Michael Salbato; Edited by Jono LoganOpening and ending music by Miles MorkriGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: retro@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomRelated Links:Retro Encounter 365 – StarTropicsRhythm Encounter 90 – Tropical Tunes
There are some first-party Nintendo games that became legendary franchises. This… is not one of those games.Released in 1990 for the NES, StarTropics was specifically designed by Nintendo R&D3 with Western audiences in mind. In fact, it was never even released in Japan until 2008 on the Wii Virtual Console! This stylish and innovative game, featuring a genre mash-up with Dragon Quest-style villages and Zelda-like dungeons, gained a cult following of devoted fans, three of whom are on this podcast! Does StarTropics live up to their childhood memories? It's time to stick some bananas in our ears, hop into our yellow submarine (piloted by R.O.B. the Robot), and find out!Featuring: Jono Logan, Nick Mangiaracina, Mike Salbato; Edited by Jono LoganOpening and ending music by Miles MorkriGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: retro@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomRelated Links:Rhythm Encounter 90 – Tropical Tunes

In this episode Greg and Joe discuss the last Capcom developed and punished game with the Disney license -- Goof Troop! Based on the Disney cartoon of the same name (not really, but we get into that!) this game has you playing either as Goofy or his son Max in a action/puzzle game as you try to solve puzzles and beat bad guys to rescue your friends from pirates. In many ways this game plays like a mix of Zelda and Startropics, and the game really shines in two player mode as both of you work together! We discuss the game in detail and how it ties into the show and how it holds up today. Any questions, comments, etc can be left on our FB page or e-mailed to thesnespodcast@yahoo.com and as always thanks for your support! The SNES Podcast is part of the Geekade network!

Summer Games Done Quick 2021 Online is in the books raising over $2.9 million for Doctor's Without Borders. I was backstage for the event and working as a host/donation reader, so I'll talk about what that was like and highlight both speedruns I was on the air for as well as others you should check out. Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) and while it has a better screen in handheld mode, it wasn't the 4K Switch Pro that people wanted in their heads. Then we talk to OLR about SGDQ and Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we add a bonus interview to our series on Final Fantasy VI. We are joined by Sebastian Deken, whose new book explores especially the music in the game. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Podcast breakdown: 0:51 Interview 1:05:21 Break 1:06:03 Outro Issues covered: not being able to talk about video game music, researching live performances of video game music, pitching Boss Fight Books, playing a friend's copy of Final Fantasy, racking up Blockbuster fines from pushing the rental, knowing that you're a musician from early on, studying to be an opera singer, having punishing stage fright for performance, getting into the Columbia MFA program, getting a great thesis advisor, the influence of prog rock on FF6's soundtrack, "the steampunk of music," Celtic music as an influence, the other influences you hear, having the Chocobos take you out of the game, the transitions from overworld to Zozo, knowing what to expect from a game vs not, needing a quilt of a game to quilt the music, planet-hopping, doing a lot of work through the music, having to find a way to talk about music through analogy, showing a few examples visually, the subtlety of Relm's musical number, sassy Relm, getting the whole story about Shadow and Relm through multiple playthroughs, the opera scene and "how is it possible," not making any sense to get the airship this way, the game as an opera with a three act structure, reflecting back what's happening in the game, opera as a strange confluence of factors, transcendant beauty that stays with you, opera as its own answer, needing to hear something as an 8x8 square, maintaining the illusion, matches of fidelity, the viewpoint on opera, not being meant to see people up close in opera.
