Bonus Barrel 74 - Myths and Legends (Part 1)

Bonus Barrel dives into the world of made-up legends, myths and rumors in video games. There's so many, and because of that, expect this to have more than one part. The topic today covers a lot of pokemon myths: Pikablu, Mew, Down + B, Pokegods, Bill's secret Garden, Missing No and maybe more. Leff is very proper, and so he brings in the rumors of naked Samus and Lara Croft. We also talk about the island in Golden Eye, Cows in the first Diablo, Reptile in Mortal Kombat 1 and finally, Simon Belmont in TMNT 2. Thanks, EGM.

But that's not all! The BB must always ramble about random game things before we get to the topic. This week we talk about the Pokken Controller, Total War stuff, Axiom Verge coming to Wii U and Vita, Lionhead Studios closing, Miitomo and Club Nintendo, and Pokemon sells 200m copies. Woo! Oh, and we complain a bit about Fire Emblem Fates (although we do still like the game)! And more. Probably.
