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.

Break out that random bucket of plastic toys you acquired somehow, because it's time to play ARMY MEN! 3DO's aggressively-marketed series was trying hard to be the next big thing; let's see if there's any reason why it should have been! Kevin Kim joins us to talk plastic warfare, interdimensional portal running, and all the sexism the late 90's video game industry could muster.

I'm positively giddy! Because this week we're playing one of the all-time great puzzle games, POKEMON PUZZLE LEAGUE, which takes the timeless TETRIS ATTACK formula and gives it an appealing Poke-makeover. Puzzlehead Nate Pasma joins us as we go into a brief history of the POKEMON anime, dig through the dizzying number of modes, and discuss the relative merits of flinging garbage at each other.

We're hitting the greens once again, this time with a bunch of Nintendo characters as the Mario Sports franchise kicks off in earnest!

Yippee! This week we're playing STAR WARS EPISODE 1: BATTLE FOR NABOO, and to mark the occasion, we did the unthinkable and rewatched the disastrous 1999 blockbuster THE PHANTOM MENACE to see if it's as bad as we remember (it really, really is)! We're joined by STAR WARS superfan Dan Reese, who gritted his teeth and endured both EPISODE 1 and this car combat game that really pushes the limits of what the human eye can interpret.
