This week we're trying out the toys-to-life genre for the first time with the series that started it all, SKYLANDERS! Activision's groundbreaking series lets you scan real-life figurines into the action with a special portal; luckily, friend of the show Neal Crow has a wide variety of figures for us to try out! This week, we're talking about all 5 games that appear on the Wii U, including GIANTS, SWAP-FORCE, TRAP TEAM, SUPERCHARGERS, and IMAGINATORS!

Warm up those pipes, because this week we're talking about some singing games! We played two games with different approaches to karaoke that come bundled with their own hefty plastic mics! Lynsey Pennington comes by to help us warble our way through the odd, party-centric SING PARTY and the TV show adaptation THE VOICE: I WANT YOU!

This week, vehicles have eyes and all rules are out the window! We're playing three games that take place in the Disney/Pixar CARS universe. Firstly, we're taking to the skies with PLANES and PLANES: FIRE AND RESCUE, two games based on the surprise hit spin-off films. Then, we're playing CARS 3: DRIVEN TO WIN, a high-octane racing game featuring everyone's favorite metal shells full of meat!

It's time for another bonus episode, courtesy of our awesome Aussie Patreon supporter CJ Baker! This time, CJ joins us to play DISCO ELYSIUM, a trippy, funny, singularly cool RPG/murder mystery!

One of Nintendo's biggest franchises is back, and while the name may be clunky, the thrills are real. We played SUPER SMASH BROS. FOR WII U, the game that expanded the series onto multiple platforms and made the series a sort of living Hall of Fame museum! We dig deep on the features and gameplay, mess with the ridiculous number of control options, and see if we can make a convincing argument for this game over ULTIMATE.

This week, we're playing the console versions of the games that defined early mobile gaming! First, we're diving into the bird-flinging phenomenon with ANGRY BIRDS TRILOGY, containing the original smash-hit ANGRY BIRDS, it's follow-up ANGRY BIRDS SEASONS, and the movie tie-in ANGRY BIRDS RIO. Then we're taking the irate avians to outer space with ANGRY BIRDS: STAR WARS!

We were prepared to bring you some MADDEN football action in time for the Super Bowl, but our game disc had different plans, so we've pulled the ultimate audible. Instead of high-impact gridiron action, we're going down to the farm with the goofy sim FUNKY BARN! While we're going in with zero preparation and no research, we try to capture the essence nonetheless.

It's time once again for one of our Patreon-supported bonus episodes! Our favorite Aussies Elliot Jay O'Neill and BT Calloway are back, and this time they had us play the Wild West/Samurai shooter RED STEEL 2! The original RED STEEL was a launch game for the Wii which failed to deliver on it's promise of high-octane katana/pistol action, but for it's sequel, the developers went back to the drawing board, creating a whole new universe with Wii Motion Plus-enhanced controls that finally let you feel like a sword-swinging badass!

Racing games were a dime a dozen on the Nintendo 64, but they're a rare treat on the Wii U, and this week we're playing three of them! Firstly, we're playing the AAA racing adventure NEED FOR SPEED: MOST WANTED; then, it's all about family as we saddle up with FAST & FURIOUS: SHOWDOWN; finally, we're breaking out the interlocking orange tracks to play the multi-vehicle stunt racer HOT WHEELS: WORLD'S BEST DRIVER!
