ARGcast #194: WonderSwan, Gunpei Yokoi w/ Kelsey Lewin

Wonder no more, ARGonauts! Kelsey Lewin returns to drop some serious knowledge on the "swan song" of Gunpei Yokoi - the WonderSwan. Join in to learn about this series of handhelds that continued the spirit of the original Game Boy, and how Gunpei truly defined Nintendo's design philosophy.

The news this week kicks off with the auctioning of the Nintendo Play Station prototype as well as the drama surrounding it. That's followed by some obscure titles coming to Nintendo Switch Online, a new 2D Ninja Gaiden proposed, and the Atari VCS flirting with cross-play functionality.

This week's Stage of History celebrates the beloved Final Fantasy IV. Robert also shares his impressions of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. And don't forget to grab our game code giveaways!
