Super Mario Bros. 3 set the standard not only for Nintendo's flagship franchise, but it was a literal game changer.

Part cross-country child road trip, part Nintendo commercial, The Wizard is a time capsule of 1980s nostalgia that holds up better than its corporately calculated premise would suggest. Players Jonathan Cardoso and Tania Newton don their power gloves to join us in retaking the road to Video Armageddon.

MegaMan was released to little fanfare but its sequel put the Blue Bomber into the hall of fame. Boasting one of the greatest chiptune rock soundtracks of all time, tight controls, and the biggest whimsical anime robots the NES could muster, MegaMan 2 is a labor of love that has stood the test of time. Comedian Rich Baker (@richbakercoaching) joins us to revisit an all-time classic.

What a horrible night to have a curse! Comedian Rich Baker (@richbakercoaching) joins us to whip it good as we revisit Castlevania 2, a game far more foreboding, obtuse, and influential outing than the original.
