In our latest episode, Daniel checks out the latest in Metroidvania technology with Mio: Memories in Orbit. This psychedelically slick action platformer brings fluid motion and tight mobility challenges, contemplative exploration punctuated with rhythmically satisfying bosses.

It's a great set of vibes, between the quiet contemplative moments and driving energy. A lovely use of choral elements too, giving the sense of the whole station *breathing*

Ok everyone is talking about DJ Rotom and Chef Dente but Pokopia Prop Hunt is another niche that is hyper targeting me.

The Pokémon Center’s Game Boy Jukebox Hits All the Right Notes Game Boy Jukebox features 45 cartridges bumping classics like “Pallet Town Theme.”

Finally catching up on the Pokemon Presents and surprised I've not seen any mention of this jukebox. Mark has been exploring the world of dedicated audio devices and highlighting various discoveries on the podcast lately so this is an extremely targeted niche.

For those of you in Vancouver (or willing to make impromptu but highly recommended travel plans) we have two passes for @terminalcitycon.ca to give away (with the bonus opportunity to play games with us). Tune in this week's podcast for more details.

It's Mark's turn in the pit and he checks out the latest Roguelite X technology in Ball X Pit. We discuss the balance of strategy and compulsion inherent in the genre and the value of 'addictive' gameplay to see if this is a breakout hit

We noted in the latest episode of @omnigamers.bsky.social podcast that Nintendo of America haven't made a peep about the Pokemon 30th anniversary. Meanwhile, check out this ltd B&W Pikachu plush at the Pokemon Center's in Japan. Also, those keychains are laser targeting the generational nostalgia!

One Zine Month project I did manage to check out is Axolotl with a Gun (the first edition available in the No ICE bundle). You might be cute but that doesn't stop you from taking affirmative and violent action! I discuss it on this week's @omnigamers.bsky.social but the campaign will be nearly over.

It was delightful listening to Mark and Daniel adventure down memory lane with a bunch of the older Zelda games. Thanks for the episode, guys!

I hope you give the DS games a shot at some point. I bounced off Phantom Hourglass the first time I tried, but on a subsequent play, I found an amazing game

We covered this news on yesterday's podcast, having recently covered the Legacy of Kain remaster. Admittedly I'd missed the names of the studios collaborating so please accept this as your correction. It's great to see smaller studios dusting off classic franchises with fresh takes.

The original Legend of Zelda presents many firsts, including games' long obsession with waterfall-based secrets. This week on the podcast we examine the secrets of the elders and see how well the game has held up.

For this weeks tabletop course we both compare our initial impressions of Brian Boru: High King of Ireland, that certainly didn't bore us. This board game utilizes trick taking for an elegant mix of area control, majority jostling and husband hunting.
