It’s music to our ears as RiriYells returns with fellow Twitch streamer KylTheSheikah to join Mike and Jaymo in Hyrule as they play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64, 1998) as part of their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!

In this episode we look at why chainsaws were replaced with axes when Zombies went overseas, Jaymo gets burned by how much difference a flamethrower can make, try to figure out how much of Ghoul Patrol’s original game design is peeking through, and dabble in some light true-crime podcasting as we touch upon the American jazz-loving serial killer the Axeman of New Orleans.

S2E08: Breath of Fire I and II -or- The Wyrm Turns 1:45:02

1:45:02

Ryan (aka Warboss5 ) rejoins Mike and Jaymo as they dive deep into the classic RPGs Breath of Fire (SNES, 1993) and Breath of Fire II (SNES, 1994), continuing their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog! In this episode, we explore the origins of the Dragon Clan, debate the merits of archaic turn-based combat, and discover the hidden depths of these two epic tales. Ryan shares his love for old RPGs and how Breath of Fire II’s intriguing storyline and character development kept him hooked. We also discuss the quality-of-life improvements in the sequel, the peculiar translation quirks, and the unforgettable moments that make these games stand out. Along the way we also touch upon Japanese toilet ghosts, facehuggers, and, for some reason, the Gilligan’s Island castaways.

Mike and Jaymo are joined by Margo (aka TikTok’s Mrs.Librarian ) as they go down the tubes playing Super Mario Bros (NES, 1985) and The Lost Levels (NES, 1986) as part of their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog! In this episode, we try to figure out if the Super Mario Bros box art is a snuff graphic, Mike and Margo go toe-to-toe in Super Mario trivia with Mario Mythbusters, and we trace the origin of the Kaizo Mario craze back to a rare floppy-disk-based Nintendo console not released in North America! Then stick around for NintenDISorDAT, as we debate if these games are better played in the original NES format or their glammed up re-releases from the 1993 SNES compilation Super Mario All-Stars.

In this episode, we dig into the extremely French reason Capcom lost its plagiarism lawsuit against Data East over Street Fighter 2 similarities, try to determine if Doomsday Warrior was really meant as an early-90s environmental cautionary tale, and Mike and Kristal even put their Geo-Guesser skills to the test playing "Where in the World is Karnov's Winnebago?"

Jordan Carothers swoops in from the ⁠Arcadiology⁠ podcast to join Mike and Jaymo as they barrel roll through the Star Fox trilogy (Star Fox on the SNES, Star Fox 64 or Lylat Wars on the Nintendo 64, and Star Fox 2 on the Super NES Classic) as part of their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog! In this episode we divebomb through the history and impact of the Star Fox trilogy, including the groundbreaking tech of the Super FX graphics chip and the industry-shaking inclusion of the Rumble Pak. We'll also explore how Star Fox 2 languished from when it was completed in 1995 to when it was finally released in 2017. We even get a little amorous with the Arwing pilots in a silly game of “Marry, Fox, Kill!” You can find ⁠Arcadiology⁠ (where Jordan and the Wiggens brothers play and rate a new arcade game every two weeks) on most podcasting platforms.
