Falcon PUNCH! This week we're talking about the granddaddy of them all, the Nintendo fighting game that would launch one of the major franchises in gaming, SUPER SMASH BROS! Keith Granger and Jordan Smith join us to get into the hot and heavy four-player action as we discuss the origins of the classic casual fighter, the overpowered awesomeness of Kirby, and our dream SMASH line-ups.
ALSO! As an extra bonus, we'll be releasing a special episode later this week all about SUPER SMASH BROS MELEE, courtesy of our Superstar-tier patron Jordan Collins! It's twice the SMASH, so watch for that in your feed in a few days!

It's everyone's favorite, a trio of random racing games! We played V-RALLY EDITION 99, ROADSTERS, and RALLY CHALLENGE 2000, three largely unremarkable racing games that nonetheless gave us an opportunity to learn about the insane sport that is rally racing! Plus, we got some amazing discussion questions from listeners to help us fill the time! And next week, we'll be playing one of the N64's biggest titles, SUPER SMASH BROS!

This week on the show, we're doffing our smoking jackets and retiring to the parlor for some fine brandy, rich cigars, and games of gentlemanly temperament. Which is to say, we played VIRTUAL CHESS 64 and VIRTUAL POOL 64! Discover shockingly ugly graphics! Bizarrely terrible cameras! And pretty good versions of their respective games?

Fans of tortured clay puns, your day has come! This week we're talking about CLAYFIGHTER 63 1/3, the third entry in the oddball parody series, and CLAYFIGHTER: SCULPTOR'S CUT, the rarest and most valuable game on the entire N64! We get our hands dirty talking about the history of clay animation, take the developers to task for not spellchecking their manual, and figure exactly what SCULPTOR'CUT offers for our extra several hundred dollars.

We finally get the chance to play one of our most-requested episode: the mega smash hit kart racer DIDDY KONG RACING! Kart racing prodigy Lynsey Pennington returns to help us settle the eternal debate between Rare's kart/plane/hovercraft racer and Nintendo's seminal classic. Plus, we meet iconic N64 characters Banjo and Conker for the first time, and answer the question: is Diddy Nintendo's Poochy?

This week, we're making two of pop culture's most iconic ducks face off in a no-holds-barred fight to the finish! Actually, we're playing two pleasant, low-stakes platformers, and we're having a good time doing it. Duck expert Dan Reese and duck novice Zoe Bronstein join us to talk the history of the two famous ducks, find a pretty decent CRASH BANDICOOT analog on the N64, and delve into some of the more... unsavory elements of a duck's anatomy.
