Review – Star Fox 64
Ooo, Star Fox 64. A landmark title for the N64. There's a reason that Nintendo keeps going back to remake it for newer consoles. Actually, there are numerous reasons, but most strikingly, it's because they apparently don't have anyone who can write an actually new space opera. But also because it's a great little rail shooter that is hard to…

Review – Lucky & Wild
Mixing driving with lightguns is so obvious it's surprising that Lucky & Wild is one of the few full-body arcade games to do it. But did it do the concept justice or squander its amazing idea?

Review – Majyūō: King of Demons
I hate admitting that I haven’t heard of a game before, but I can’t claim to have known of King of Demons (known as Majyūō in its homeland). To be fair, it was previously only released in Japan on the Super Famicom, and now commands a hefty price tag on the collector’s market. As part of their recent reissue of…

Review – Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III
The Bubble Bobble lore is hard to follow. Bub and Bob keep going from bubble-spewing dinosaurs to rotund children and back again, but maybe it’s also their kids, or maybe it’s their girlfriends. Sometimes they’re dragons, and sometimes they aren’t. To make it more confusing, there are two “The Story of Bubble Bobble IIIs.” There’s 1991’s Parasol Stars: The Story…

Review – A Cat’s Tale of Love and Friendship: Jingle Cats – On a Mission of Love
Do you like the Jingle Cats? If so, why? Well, regardless, I might have the game for you. It's about the Jingle Cats, it's from Japan, and it's pretty strange. It is probably not what you'd expect from a band of musical cats.

Review – Super Chase: Criminal Termination (Arcade)
Are you ready for some excessive force? Better get off the sidewalk, grandma, because the police are coming through, and they will literally stop at nothing to make sure the criminal is pulled from a burning wreck and brought to justis. That's Super Chase.

Review – Milano’s Odd Job Collection
I've been hitting a lot of oddball Japanese titles lately, all of which remained exclusive to their home territory. Suprise! Milano's Odd Job Collection is a PS1 title from 1999 that you can actually get here, in the year 2026. Fully localized!

Review – Rampart (Famicom)
Rampart has a formula that can only be stretched so far. Or can it? When Konami took a crack at it on Famicom, they took it to a pretty unusual place. It's time to see Rampart like you maybe never have before!

Book Cudgel – Worlds of Power: Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest
Welcome back to the Book Cudgel, where we talk about novels based on video games. This time, it's Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, a terrible game that is terrible. Will it make for a good novel? Depends on your standards.

Sundays with Sagat II – Avengers Doomsday Leak
Sagat, the famous video game commentator, is risen from his slumber to return just when we needed him most. In this new video, Sagat informs us that he’s been training in his down time and though he’s never seen a single movie, he’s now speculating on known leaks from the MCU. He’s a loose cannon, can he be stopped? Please…
