Steve Guntli and Woody Ciskowski are taking you through the entire catalogs of different consoles, one game at a time. First, they did a deep dive through all 297 games in the Nintendo 64 catalog; now, they're digging in to a whole new generation with WII UNIVERSE, a detailed journey through Nintendo's biggest flop, the Wii U!

Augment your ears, because this week we're heading into the future for DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION, Square Enix's epic reboot of the classic shooter. The series has always put an emphasis on choice, using branching paths to tell its story, but does that equate to a fun game? Plus: we have lots of opinions about N64 on Switch and the new Mario movie!

Roll out and transform, because this week, it's TRANSFORMERS: Redemption? The last time we played a game featuring the iconic robots in disguise, it wound up being one of the 5 worst games on the Nintendo 64, so the series has a lot to make up for. Luckily, neither of these made us sick at all! We played TRANSFORMERS PRIME, a high-octane beat-em-up based on a TV show, and RISE OF THE DARK SPARK, a slick third-person shooter than blends mythology from the games and the movies.

Rock on! We've got a new bonus episode courtesy of our top-tier Patreon supporters!
Elliot Jay O'Neill is back, along with first-timer Danny Rosewell, to talk about GUITAR HERO III: LEGENDS OF ROCK, the biggest and maybe the best of the storied GUITAR HERO franchise and one of Woody's favorite games ever! We're looking back at the heyday of the 2000s, when every home had an array of chunky plastic guitar controllers and all was right with the world.

Who's got big balls? WIPEOUT does, apparently! This week, we're playing two games based on the summer game show sensation, and we're tagging in our friend Delaney Saul to help us manage the madness! We played WIPEOUT 3, which attempts to capture the obstacle course goofiness of the show in a simple platformer, and WIPEOUT: CREATE & CRASH, which lets you customize your own courses!

Hop in your Arwing and join us as we take on Fox McCloud and company's big Wii U adventures, STAR FOX ZERO and STAR FOX GUARD! The former is STAR FOX as you remember it, with lots of aerial combat and barrel-rolling action, but upgraded with beautiful graphics and some new vehicles to cause carnage with. GUARD takes the series into untested territory with an odd tower-defense style game!
If you want to hear more STAR FOX, be sure to check out patreon.com/ultra64pod, where we're doing a complete deep dive on the series!

We're covering a ton of ground this week; we're discussing nothing less than the biggest game of all time, and we've rarely been more out of our depth! MINECRAFT is a sensation unlike anything else in gaming history, but our intrepid hosts have almost no experience with the block-busting blockbuster, so we've tagged in an actual 9-year-old to help us get our bearings. Plus, we're looking at the Telltale Games adventure MINECRAFT: STORY MODE, a star-studded interactive movie set in the MINECRAFT universe! It's gonna be a fun one, y'all!

We're playing through another trio of games based on Dreamworks Animation films, and after the disaster of TURBO, we're on our guard. This time around, we're playing the DIABLO-like brawler RISE OF THE GUARDIANS, the dragon-flying sim HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2, and the furry SMASH BROS. clone KUNG FU PANDA: SHOWDOWN OF LEGENDARY LEGENDS! Do these three score higher than the racing snail? Find out now!

We're taking aim at sniper games this time around with the cult favorite SNIPER ELITE V2, the game that finally lets you shoot Adolf Hitler in the junk. We take a look at sniping as a genre, look at the surprising success of the subgenre, and question whether realistic bullet physics are fun or just cool in theory.
