GameAgentET and The Six Button Samurai are feeling those dog days of late summer, with a very slow news cycle in gaming, but there's been some interesting things to celebrate, like a new SuperFX chip 3 being utilized in a new physical cartridge offering of DOOM on SNES, and some very positive news about Tango Gameworks being acquired by a Korean publisher. We also talk about games that were TOO MUCH GAME, as in late offerings for consoles that really make those machines burst at the seams on a technical level like Perfect Dark for N64 and Burning Rangers on the Sega Saturn. Warning: there is yet another active discussion on the merits of BLUE STINGER in this episode. Sorry, not sorry.

Giles Goddard is one of the few westerners who've worked inside Nintendo HQ in Japan. He went there as a young adult in the early 1990s, to help make Star Fox and the SuperFX chip that powered it, and he stayed ever since. Goddard worked at Nintendo for more than decade, and was instrumental not only in SNES games like Star Fox and Stunt Race FX, but also the creation of the N64. He made the Zelda 64 demo that wowed crowds at a Japanese game show in 1995, and he made the Mario face you pull around at the beginning of Mario 64. Goddard also made 1080 Snowboarding, which is a game idea he's come back to a couple of times over the years. Today, Goddard works at Chuhai Labs, a company he founded -as Vitei - many years ago. It's best known for Cursed to Golf, but is currently working on a new, multi-year game fans of Star Fox will apparently love... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A brand-new Nintendo Direct was shadow-dropped this week, and it just may be the best showcase of the summer.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder, a brand-new 2D Mario title. We're joined by Bill Tucker of A Gamer Looks At 40 podcast to discuss our favorite announcements from the Direct.We'll also be talking about how Twitch's new Partner Program will finally give streamers a 70/30 cut of the revenue pie (but... there's a catch), how Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot wishes he'd waited for the Nintendo Switch 2 to release Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, and the news that the missing Titanic tour vessel was controlled by a Logitech game controller over a decade old.Finally, class is in session with substitute Professor Tucker in our Gaming History 101 segment.

Today's episode of SNEScapades puts a big ol' spotlight on Star Fox. If you're not familiar, it's a game about animals in space. I'm sure that explains everything. So how is this one? Does it hold up? Can long-time Star Fox fan Emmy Zero convince newcomer Steampunk Link of the game's greatness? Does the debut Super FX chip-enabled SNES game still impress today. Or does it come off as a glorified tech demo for decades-old tech? Come for the lengthy discussion of this (at the time) new Nintendo franchise and stay for the lovely Star Fox tunes. Good Luck!

Star Fox team! We are creating the first game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 3D and need good music. Good luck!

Scramble your Arwings because the guys are back with another retro game spotlight and this time it's all about the 1993 SNES classic, Starfox! This action packed starship shooter was the very first game to bring 3D graphics to console and introduced the world to the Super FX microchip. Listen in as Chris and Kyle share some of the history on how this game was made, what it took for Nintendo to conquer 3D graphics, and how real life experiences inspired the creator to design the most iconic aspects of the game. From there they team up with Fox, Peppy, Falco, and Slippy to breakdown and rate Starfox on the five categories of story, graphics/sound, gameplay, technical performance, and sauciness!Support the Show: GeeK KetchUP PatreonFollow GeeK KetchUP and the guys:Twitter: @geekketchuppod@KyleEccard @HeckorinoInstagram:@geekketchuppod @keccard2 @ltdwarrior926Facebook: GeeK KetchUP PodcastGeeK KetchUP YouTube ChannelWebsite: www.geekketchuppodcast.com Music Credits: Driving Rock - AShamaluevMusicMusic Link: https://www.patreon.com/ashamaluevmusicRock You - Rock SoundsSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/geekketchuppod)

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher discuss the Star Fox series of video games for Nintendo consoles and handhelds.   Nintendo decided to dip its digital toes into a new genre with space flight sim with Star Fox for the SNES in 1993. Developed by Argonaut Software using a special Super FX chip on each cartridge to power its polygonal graphics, Star Fox became a hit spawning many sequels and remakes over the years for the SNES, GameCube, and beyond. Its cute animal crew talking in gibberish reminds charming to this day.  Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcast Network Follow the show on Twitter @Sequelcast2 Like our Sequelcast 2 Facebook Page Listen to Marc with a C's music podcast Discography.

Zwei Technologien des Super Nintendo ermöglichten es Spielen, besondere grafische Darstellungen zu realisieren: Der Mode 7 und der Super-FX-Chip. Diese haben technisch gesehen nichts miteinander zu tun, ermöglichten den Entwicklern aber grafische Besonderheiten, welche die Standard-Hardware des SNES nicht hergab. Wir sprechen in dieser Episode über beide Themen.

Tobias, Kristoffer och Fredrik snackar om Tobias kanske stressigaste veckor någonsin, allt tack vare (?) Androids NDK och Googles väldigt … grundliga hantering av appar med säkerhetshål. Det är svårt att utveckla saker för flera plattformar och man får helt andra problem när man inte kan välja att helt förlita sig på en enda plattform. Men, inte ens Google och Apple själva kan begränsa sig till att bara släppa appar på sina egna plattformar, så borde inte till och med de tjäna på lösa problemen ännu bättre?

Wir begeben uns in die frühen 90er-Jahre und damit mitten hinein in den Consolewar. Nintendo stieg 1990 mit dem Super Famicom in die 16 Bit-Ära ein, und warf mit Begriffen wie Mode 7 und Super FX um sich, um dem Blast Processing der Konkurrenz aus dem Hause SEGA zu begegnen. Was war das für eine spannende Ära! In diesem Super Nintendo-Konsolenspecial erinnern wir uns an großartige Spiele aus dieser Zeit, die die Konsole geprägt haben - sei es Super Mario World, A Link to the Past oder Secret of Mana. Und natürlich gehen wir intensiv auf das kommende Nintendo Classic Mini in der Super Nintendo-Variante ein und schätzen dessen Lineup ein. Thema: Retro-Konsolenspecial: Super Nintendo Entertainment System Erwähnte Spiele: Super Mario World, F-Zero, Pilotwings, Sim City, Gradius III, Final Fight, Super Soccer, Super Tennis, Super R-Type, Super Mario All-Stars, Donkey Kong Country-Reihe, Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, Contra III, Starfox I & II, Super Mario World 2: Yoshis Island, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the seven Stars, Mega Man X-Serie, Breath of Fire I & II, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Illusion of Time, Lufia-Reihe, Mystic Quest Legends, Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu II + III), Secret of Evermore, Terranigma, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV - VI, Mother Earthbound II, Ogre Battle, Shadowrun, The 7th Saga, Ultima 6, Dragon Quest V, VI, III Remake, Fire Emblem, Star Ocean, Tales of Phantasia, Mario Paint, Bomberman, Actraiser, Flashback, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Course, Street Fighter 2 Turbo: Hyper Fighting, Super Castlevania IV, Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, Super Metroid, Super Punch Out!!

This week, the clan displays their SNES prowess, or lack thereof, as we review the life, legacy, and history of the Super Nintendo. Enjoy! The SNES is a 16 bit home video game console developed by Nintendo. It was released in Japan on November 21, 1990, and came to the states on August 23, 1991. The console is known as The Super Famicom in Japan, and the Super Cowboy in South Korea. In North Korea, it is simply known as “No”. The console was a global success, despite it being late to the party. It ended up selling around 49.10 million units worldwide.  The NES came with a $200 pricetag, which is around $412 today. Nintendo’s initial shipment of 300,000 units sold out within hours of launch, and the social disturbance its launch created, caused the Japanese government to request that consoles be released on weekends. Apparently, the Yakuza also became aware of the console, which resulted in Nintendo shipping the console overnight to avoid robberies. Much of this new consoles success can be attributed to the retention of third party developers: Capcom, Konami, Tecmo, Square, Koei, and Enix. The console featured few games upon release; In Japan, only two games were available in the beginning: Super Mario World and F-Zero. North America saw a Super Mario World bundle with the console, and F-zero, Pilotwings, SimCity, and Gradius III. Another reason for the Super Nintendo’s success was the early port of the classic Capcom Arcade game Street Fighter II.   Nintendo has a history of control, and family friendly practices. Each third party developer was initially only allowed to release up to five games a year, some would get around this by setting up other brands, and those five games couldn’t be released on another console within a two year period. Nintendo was also the exclusive manufacturer and supplier of NES cartridges. Competition from Sega brought this practice to an end, and in 1991 the studio Acclaim began releasing things on both platforms. The most notable holdouts were Capcom and Square. Nintendo would also meticulously review submitted titles, giving them a score out of 40. Each region did separate evaluations, and Nintendo North America decided to limit the violence in games on its systems. The game Mortal Kombat would challenge the policy. The Genesis version of the game retained the gore, and ultimately outsold the SNES version by either 3 or 4 to one.  Liberal Scum, and godfathers of the ESRB and ESA, Herb Kohl and Joe Lieberman convened a Congressional hearing on December 9, 1993 to investigate the marketing of violent video games to children. The creation of the ESRB satisfied nintendo, and they decided that their censorship policies were no longer needed.   Like I said before, the SNES was a little behind the game. While other companies were moving on to 32-bit systems, Rare and Nintendo proved that the SNES was still king. In November 1994, Rare released Donkey Kong Country, a platformer featuring 3D models and textures pre-rendered on SGI workstations. This game rivaled the aesthetic quality of the games being released on the 32-bit CD consoles. In the last 45 days of 1994, Donkey Kong Country sold 6.1 million units, making it the fastest selling videogame in history to that date. The current record holder is the famous Grand Theft Auto V, which sold 12 million units in the first day of release.   Nintendo loves their regional lockout, and took it to the next level by employing physical and hardware incompatibilities. For starters, the cartridges are shaped differently for different regions. NA cartridges are rectaangular on the bottom with inset grooves matching protruding tabs in the console, while other regions are narrower, with a smooth curve on the front and no grooves. This can, of course be modified. They also placed a lockout chip within the console aand in each cartridge. The PAL versions of a game can’t be played on a NA or Japanese console and vice versa. NA and Japan do have the same chip. There have been ways to get around it, one of them being the disconnection of one particular pin of the console’s lockout chip can prevent it. The casing for the console is slightly different in each region, and the yellowing of the console was due to the ABS plastic used for the casing. Apparently, the discoloration was due to an exposure to air, likely due to an incorrect mixture of the stabilizing, or flame retarding additives. So that’s why everyone’s SNES looks yellow.   The SNES released a slew of peripheraals throughout its lifetime. The light gun that was released for the SNES is known as the Super Scope, and the Super Advantage is the name of an arcade style joystick that was released with turbo settings. They released the SNES Mouse in conjunction to the game Mario Paint, and of course the mutitap simply known as the SuperMultitap was released with the popular Bomberman games. The most impressive release was the one that allowed the SNES to play GameBoy Games. This device was known as The Super Game Boy. The SNES would also create the first online console gaming network with the XBAND in the US. This feature allowed players to compete with each other across the country, but was shut down a mere two or three years after its inception.   During the lifespan of the SNES, Nintendo contracted with Sony and Philips to create a CD-Rom based console to compete with Sega’s Sega CD. Ultimately these deals fell through, and Sony went on to create the legendary PlayStation.   The SNES was given the ability to interface special coprocessor chips into the console itself, thus making its CPU not obsolete a few years after release. The Super FX was designed to perform functions that the main CPU couldn’t do. It helped create 3D game worlds with polygons, texture mapping, and light source shading. It could also be used to enhance the consoles 2D library. They later released the SA-1 chip that clocked in at a whopping 10MHz. Japan also had little Nintendo Power Kiosks that could be used to Download games at a lower price onto special cartridges using flash memory.   The SNES didn’t repeat the success of the NES, it was still the best selling console of its era. In 2007, GameTrailers named the SNES the second greatest console of all time due to graphics, sound, and the high quality library of games. It was also listed as Nintendos best console by GameTrailers in 2015.   Top Ten Selling SNES Games Super Mario Worlds Super Mario All-Stars Donkey Kong Country Super Mario Kart Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble!

This week Jurek and Earl continue their tradition of playing a Mario game every ten episodes by playing Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island for the Super Nintendo! The guys are quite aware of how awesome this game is, however, something is wrong with Earl's cartridge. The Super FX 2 Chip is messed up so the game doesn't play quite like it's supposed to, which was quite a surprise for the guys! They do their best with what they're given! Come have a drink with us! Cheers!

The Super Nintendo is often cited as many retro gamer's favourite console. Just looking at game prices on Ebay etc for Nintendo's 16bit marvel shows that demand isn't fading either.

En 1993, una inesperada alianza entre Nintendo y la compañía británica Argonaut Games dio lugar a uno de los juegos más emblemáticos, memorables y, sobretodo, punteros a nivel tecnológico que se pudo ver en Super Nintendo. Lo que sería el título debut del efímero e infrautilizado chip Super FX, trascendió a la plataforma y dejó un legado de títulos que [...]
