Goodbye, Wii Universe

Saturday Dec 31, 2022
Our five-year journey has come to an end! This week, we're looking back at Wii Universe with an epic-length retrospective of the series. We're giving our definitive final ranking of all Wii U games, sharing some stats and stories from throughout the show, and generally just trying to fight back the tears.
Thank you, thank you, thank you once again to our incredible listeners for coming on this goofy little adventure with us for the last five years, and we'll see you again down the line!

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (with Vidjagame Apocalypse)
Saturday Dec 24, 2022
Saturday Dec 24, 2022
This is it! After dozens of games and hundreds of hours of gameplay, we've arrived at the VERY LAST GAME in the Wii U catalog! To celebrate this momentous event, we had to bring in some of our favorite guests for one of the most influential games of the last decade! The entire Vidjagame Apocalypse crew (Matthew Allen, Chris Antista, and Mikel Reparaz) join us to talk LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD. This game dropped day-and-date with the release of the Switch, so the Wii U version tends to be overlooked, but it can't be denied that this game forever changed how we think about ZELDA and reinvented how we approach open-world games. Join us as we dig in to this massive adventure, and be sure to come back next week for our FOUR-HOUR final episode spectacular!

Assassin’s Creed III / Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
Saturday Dec 17, 2022
Saturday Dec 17, 2022
This week, we're taking a leap of faith with one of the biggest franchises of the last 20 years! Ubisoft's ASSASSIN'S CREED series became a cultural phenomenon when it debuted in 2007, with each subsequent game only getting bigger. We're looking at the two Wii U entries this week: first, we're travelling back to the American Revolution-set ASSASSIN'S CREED III; then, it's all aboard for the golden age of piracy with the swashbuckling ASSASSIN'S CREED IV: BLACK FLAG!

Paper Mario: Color Splash
Saturday Dec 10, 2022
Saturday Dec 10, 2022
The PAPER MARIO series made it's big debut back in the N64 games, and it was one of our highest-rated titles on that entire system. But over the years, the series has lost some of it's luster as it drifted a bit from it's RPG mechanics. PAPER MARIO: COLOR SPLASH may be almost unrecognizable as an RPG, but how does it stand on its own merits? We're digging into that this week, with this colorful, gorgeous-looking adventure!

ZombiU

Saturday Dec 03, 2022
Crank up your flashlights and keep your cricket bats at the ready, because this week we're travelling to foggy London to take on the zombie apocalypse with Ubisoft's ZOMBIU! This launch game set out to be Ubi's Wii U killer app, and uses the GamePad in some of the most creative ways we've seen so far; do the game's ambitious survival mechanics make it memorable, or is this just one more for the zombie horde?

We've reached the very last episode of Bonus 64, and we're closing it out by playing an unheralded Nintendo series with one of our favorite friends and supporters! Elliot Jay O'Neill is back to discuss the KID ICARUS series! From it's origins as one of the earliest NES games to it's long-delayed revival on the 3DS, old Pit has had a fascinating trajectory over the last nearly 40 years. We're playing the infamously tough original, it's Game Boy sequel OF MYTHS AND MONSTERS, and the strange and ambitious 3DS launch title KID ICARUS: UPRISING! Prepare for amazing 3D shooting and some serious hand cramps!
This marks the last of our Patreon-supported bonus episodes, but we still have more than 200 bonus eps available for just $5 a month at Patreon.com/ultra64pod! We want to thank Elliot and all of our Patrons once again for all the amazing support over the years!
