Power Button - Episode 361: Wandering Hyrule In <i>The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom</i>

May 24, 2023 13:11 - 99.7 MB

Link and Princess Zelda are back in Hyrule for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the Nintendo Switch which means that so are we, and we're spending this episode's discussion talking about my time spent wandering around Hyrule seeing the sights and checking out whatever interests me without accomplishing any of the story which means there are no spoilers in this episode. We'll circle back to the meaty stuff later. This week is all exploratory fluff. Download this week's episode dir...

<i>Ghostbusters: Special Edition</i> Hack Adds New Characters And Surprises

May 02, 2023 15:00

The famed Ghostbusters franchise has spawned many video games over the years ranging from the original 1984 business simulator from Activision to last year's Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed for modern platforms, but one of the games that tends to be forgotten is a 1990 title for the Sega Genesis developed by Compile. Titled simply Ghostbusters, the game is a basic action platformer featuring an original story in which players can choose between Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, and Ray Stantz to ...

Power Button - Episode 360: Metroid Prime Revisited

April 24, 2023 18:00 - 81.2 MB

After twenty long years I have finally completed Metroid Prime from Nintendo and Retro Studios, so with the game now back for another encore on the Switch, let's spend an hour discussing it. We'll also cover another 2002 hit, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, if we have time, but we won't have time.

Power Button - Episode 359: Movie Mode: <i>The Super Mario Bros. Movie</i>

April 17, 2023 15:08 - 96.8 MB

We When Nintendo makes a movie, it's basically required that we go see it, so on this week's podcast it's time to spend ninety minutes discussing The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Break out the spoiler warning for this one because we cover our thoughts on the plot, casting, soundtrack, potential sequel, and so much more.

Link Gains New Abilities In <i>The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom</i>

March 28, 2023 14:31

Nintendo's Eiji Aonuma took to YouTube today to show off some of Link's new abilities in the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the Nintendo Switch. Following on from Link's skills in Breath of the Wild, Link will now spend more time crafting weapons and vehicles thanks to his new power to combine objects. Fuse a weak tree branch with a standard boulder, for instance, and wield a mighty makeshift hammer. Combine logs with some wind emitters to create a basic boat. The whol...

Farewell To Wii U And 3DS eShops

March 27, 2023 16:50

Nintendo is taking both the Wii U and 3DS eShops offline today, ending the ability to purchase content from those digital storefronts. It's always sad to see a digital shop go, but Nintendo delisting content in this manner always seems to hurt a little more because we never know if some of it will be back. Sure, Super Mario Bros. 3 isn't going anywhere; in fact, it's already possible to play three different versions of it on the Nintendo Switch provided you pay the subscription fee instead of...

Power Button - Episode 358: This Game Must Be Terrible

March 21, 2023 13:30 - 96.8 MB

We all make snap judgments from time to time, and sometimes those quick decisions take us in the wrong direction. On this week's podcast, we're discussing games that we immediately dismissed for one reason or another and then later tried only to discover that they are actually fantastic. Would you believe that we initially passed on such classics as Mega Man, BioShock, and Sly Cooper? There's plenty more where those came from in this supersized episode. Download this week's episode directly f...

1993's <i>Super Mario Bros.</i> Movie Wasn't That Bad

March 15, 2023 15:30

With the new Super Mario Bros. film from Nintendo and Universal on the horizon, it's the season for looking back at the original Super Mario Bros. film from 1993 starring Bob Hoskins that bombed at the box office and has been held up for decades as a terrible film. The thing is, watching it as an adult with fresh eyes, it's not so bad. Yes, it has problems and is very far from a faithful adaptation of the source material, but there's some fun stuff going on in it, and Joe Ramoni at Hats Off E...

Power Button - Episode 357: Tales! Of! Hardware!

March 06, 2023 18:20 - 81.1 MB

Stand back! This week on the podcast we have assorted tales of interest about our recent hardware adventures. Blake's MacBook that he uses for recording his half of the podcast unexpectedly died the day before we recorded this episode, so we're playing fast and loose with no editing this week. Listen to how Blake upgraded his pinball table to contain over two-hundred additional tables, thrill as I more than double the internal storage of my Sony PlayStation 5 with a new Samsung 980 Pro hard d...

Peter Griffin Builds A Donkey Kong House

February 28, 2023 17:38

I know that watching Family Guy has fallen out of the zeitgeist, but you're missing out on some prime Millennial-targeted humor if you're skipping it. On this past Sunday's new episode, "Single White Dad", Peter Griffin gets his old Nintendo Entertainment System out of storage to share "the best video game of all time", Donkey Kong, with his son. Chris is not impressed with it though, asking about the missing microtransactions that will slowly bankrupt the family and the lack of children scre...

Power Button - Episode 356: February 2023 Nintendo Direct Recap

February 22, 2023 19:49 - 80.9 MB

Nintendo dusted off the megaphone earlier this month and announced a lot of new games and remasters, so this week on the podcast we're finally getting around to discussing it all. From Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe to the shadow dropped Metroid Prime Remastered to the collection of Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games, there's something new/old for everyone.

<i>GoldenEye 007</i> Quickies

February 21, 2023 14:00

As I said on our most recent podcast in which we tore into the re-release of GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo Switch and the Microsoft Xbox platform, replaying the classic Nintendo 64 game has sent me down the rabbit hole on all things GoldenEye. I rewatched the movie, listened to the soundtrack, watched making-of videos both deep dive and high level, and much more, so I knew I had to put the best of these things together here to share. It's a collection of retrospective videos, re-orchestrated musi...

PTB Social Media Update

February 14, 2023 16:00

As Twitter's owner continues to gradually destroy the service with his impulsive ideas, greedily cost-driven policies, and eroding safety measures, it seems like it's only prudent to have another social media profile ready to go. I've set up a PTB account on Mastodon at @[email protected]. It works like the Twitter account where I post new PTB content and carry on with followers and those I follow with fun conversation. I'm staying active on Twitter as well until it finally all fall...

Power Button - Episode 355: James Bond Will Return

February 14, 2023 14:45 - 88.2 MB

Nintendo, Microsoft, EON Productions, and who knows who else finally made a deal to bring the 1997 shooter GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64 back for a re-release on Nintendo Switch and the modern Microsoft Xbox platform. On this week's podcast, we're shooting in and out through post-Cold War Russia to explore which version of the game plays better today, which cheats are still available to the skilled player, how much fun we're still having with this game more than twenty-years later, and so...

HBO Presents <i>Mario Kart</i>

February 07, 2023 19:39

Pedro Pascal is earning accolades for his performance in HBO's The Last of Us based on the Sony PlayStation games from Naughty Dog, but Saturday Night Live has a sneak peek at HBO's next project for Pascal, and wow it's an unexpected departure. I know the idea of a gritty Mario adventure is an old joke at this point. It's been the subject of Internet humor for decades and Nintendo itself approved the idea for the 1993 Bob Hoskins / John Leguizamo film Super Mario Bros., but to see this much t...

Fans Suspect Mystery PS5 Game Is <i>Uncharted 5</i>

January 30, 2023 19:37

Developer Naughty Dog considers the Uncharted series to be over, but that's not stopping eagle-eyed fans from spotting what they think is a new Uncharted sequel in a recent Sony PlayStation 5 advertisement. The ad features looks at a number of previously announced games and includes one that nobody recognizes. Ethan Gach at Kotaku has the round-up. In between vignettes for announced games like Spider-Man 2 is a brief clip of a woman carrying a torch through a cave, and fans think it might be ...

James Bond Will Return In <i>GoldenEye 007</i>

January 25, 2023 16:00

After teasing the release late last year, Nintendo is ready to put the classic shooter GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64 on its Switch Online service. Releasing Friday, January 27, 2023 the famous game will return for old fans to enjoy and new audiences to discover. As a new trailer from Nintendo points out (and someone had a lot of fun making that trailer, I bet), widescreen mode is enabled on this release and you'll be able to enjoy online multiplayer through the NSO N64 app. Remember that ...

Power Button - Episode 354: The Best That 2022 Had To Offer

January 20, 2023 18:30 - 142 MB

As we do every January, it's time to take a look back at our picks for Game of the Year. 2022 brought us a number of fantastic titles that we're still raving about including Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, Stray, Sonic Origins, and many more.

The Oral History Of 1989's <i>Legend of Zelda</i> Cartoon Explains It All

January 11, 2023 15:47

For those of you who weren't there in 1989, let me explain that when Mario and Luigi came to syndicated cartoons, it was a very big deal. Our favorite characters were starting to prove that they were more than just pixels and beeps, and as the money machine took notice, they started to appear on school supplies and snack foods and cheaply-made clothing. While Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2 were the big stars of the day, Nintendo was also focusing attention on The Legend of Zelda an...

Power Button - Episode 353: 2022's Biggest News Revisited

January 06, 2023 19:35 - 119 MB

An Early Look At <i>Aero The Acro-bat</i> For GBA

December 26, 2022 17:42

Longtime PTB readers will remember how much I love the two Aero the Acro-bat games for the Super NES, and even though the Game Boy Advance port of the first game isn't quite up to the original's level of quality (particularly the amazing music), it has enough going for it that it's worth a play (especially for the bit of new material). I missed this news when it was new, but Forest of Illusion has recovered a very early version of that GBA port which apparently represents only a few days of w...

Have A Mario Christmas

December 24, 2022 13:15

Check out this vintage piece of Nintendo merchandise from my collection. I've held on to this Mario Christmas decoration over the years; it hung on my childhood game room door each December when I was a kid and as a teen, and now it hangs on my game room door of my adult home. Dating back to 1989, this decoration sports the Super Mario Bros. 2 style of character artwork with the classic red overalls and blue shirt for Mario instead of today's modern color swap. The pop-out tree was originally...

<i>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection</i> Remixed For Sega Dreamcast

December 24, 2022 12:59

Konami and Digital Eclipse teamed up to bring a collection of all of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games released by the publisher between 1989 and 1994 to modern platforms this year entitled The Cowabunga Collection, but since the Sega Dreamcast fans were feeling left out (as the console was discontinued over twenty years ago), they decided to do something about it. I expect the lawyers will be working overtime this Christmas, but in the meantime here is a Dreamcast take on The Cowabunga ...

<i>Super Mario World</i> Localization Prototype Revealed

December 24, 2022 12:37

More and more development builds and assets from classic Nintendo video games have found their way to the Internet in the past few years, but it's still a nice surprise to see in-progress versions of beloved favorites pop up. Today's game under the magnifying glass is 1991's Super Mario World for the Super NES, as Forest of Illusion has acquired and documented an October 1990 localization prototype used to prepare the game for its North American release. This version contains a different titl...

All I Want For Christmas Is Wii U

December 23, 2022 00:58

Mash up the perennial Christmas hit "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey with the beloved background music from Nintendo's Wii Shop Channel and you get a little something like this tune as arranged by Kuribo98. I'm amazed at how well these two songs intertwine, preserving the beats and riffs of both simultaneously. The same treatment has been given to "Jingle Bells" and the Mii Channel theme, too. Tis the season! (via MetaFilter)

Power Button - Episode 352: Gather The Family Around Video Gaming's Warm Glowing Warming Glow

December 13, 2022 14:43 - 75.9 MB

New <i>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe</i> Update Adds Item Toggles

December 07, 2022 15:33

As part of the new Wave 3 update of the Booster Pass expansion, Nintendo has also added an extra surprise for all players of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Switch. Players can now toggle individual items on and off in certain modes similarly as to what Super Smash Bros. offers for item customizations, so now you can disable the dreaded blue shells or have a race with just mushrooms and horns if that's your thing. Or, if you want to go all-in on madness, you can race with nothing but blue shells....

Conan O'Brien Revives Clueless Gamer

November 28, 2022 19:27

Conan O'Brien is back to being comedically inept at today's popular video games in his revived Clueless Gamer sketch in which he plays video games badly and riffs on what he experiences. The sketch was a recurring element on his TBS talk show, Conan, but faded away some years ago even before that program ended. Now it's back where it's always thrived, as paid promotional content on YouTube. On this installment, Conan tries Deathloop, Powerwash Simulator, and A Plague Tale: Requieum. I always ...

Power Button - Episode 351: Thirty Hours With <i>Sonic Frontiers</i>

November 17, 2022 21:08 - 93.4 MB

There's lots to do in the open zones of the Starfall Islands in Sonic Frontiers, and since I spent thirty hours last week seeing it all and earning the platinum trophy, it seems only right to spend this episode of the podcast discussing the game. Before we get into that though, Blake Grundman regales us with tales of his recent European tour and we take a suggestion from the audience and give The Pinball Wizard for PC, iOS, and Nintendo Switch a spin. Download this week's episode directly fro...

Remembering Sega's Cancelled Erotic Thriller

November 14, 2022 16:07

Sega experimented with content for older audiences beyond the teen market in the 1990s, from allowing Mortal Kombat's blood code on the Genesis version of the arcade smash to creating the Deep Water series rating for games with mature themes. The company was ready to go beyond those markers though through a subsidiary with the development of its erotic thriller title The Sacred Pools. Planned for release on the Sega Saturn, Sony PlayStation, PC, and Mac back in 1997, Sacred Pools was one of t...

<i>Star Fox</i> Gets A Boost

November 10, 2022 00:18

Nintendo's Star Fox for the Super NES is fondly remembered today despite aging terribly. It runs at twenty frames per second if you're lucky, its polygons are very basic, and it lacks the refinements found in its sequels. Aiming to make the game a better modern experience without sacrificing what still makes it fun, kandowontu has created a hack of the game called Star Fox EX that adds a ton of improvements and refinements. There's seventeen new levels, a model viewer, support for the Super N...

Build Your Own Game Boy Pocket SP

November 07, 2022 19:15

Nintendo's Game Boy Pocket does a lot of things right when it comes to handheld gaming, but the one thing you cannot do with it is fold it in half (and expect to be able to use it again afterward, anyway!). Programmer Allison Parrish set right what once went wrong by taking the best aspect of the successor Game Boy Advance SP in terms of folding, the hinge, and applied it to the Pocket hardware. The result is a Game Boy Pocket SP, and with a little engineering knowledge and access to the prop...

Celebrate Twenty Years Of Ratchet And Clank

November 04, 2022 22:00

Sony and Insomniac Studios are marking the twentieth anniversary of the Ratchet & Clank franchise with streaming re-releases of the Ratchet titles for the PlayStation 3 for PlayStation Plus Premium members and an article of remembrances from Insomniac staff. Oh, and some free DLC nostalgia armor for last year's Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Seems kind of lackluster, but it's poor fate that led to a landmark anniversary year falling just a year after the most recent game in the series released....

<i>Mega Man: The Wily Wars</i> Gets A Boost

November 04, 2022 17:10

The Sega Genesis compilation remake title Mega Man: The Wily Wars has received some long overdue attention in the past few years thanks to re-releases on the Genesis Mini, Nintendo Switch, and as an actual Genesis cartridge produced by Retrobit. While the game has a lot going for it over its Nintendo Entertainment System predecessor, there are a few design choices that purist fans look down upon when comparing the two versions including shot speed and enemy invincibility windows in which Robo...

Special Thanks To Vram Stoker

October 31, 2022 19:00

On this Halloween, let us turn our attention to the end credits of Konami's original Castlevania for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Rather than credit the staff that worked on the game (either real names or pseudonyms), the credits list the supposed cast of the game itself as played by notable horror icons such as, er, Christopher Bee and Jone Candies. Mistranslation much? Probably not. Drew Mackie at Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games has dissected the Castlevania credits to explain who ...

Shadow The Hedgehog Gets Reloaded

October 17, 2022 17:45

Sega's 2005 release Shadow the Hedgehog for the Nintendo GameCube and its competing consoles took some bold chances with the Sonic the Hedgehog formula that were watered down to pass kid-friendly muster. Guns and grittiness were the order of the day back then, so Sonic Team armed Shadow with weapons and equipped him with vehicles for an adventure that ended up serving too many masters and pleasing nobody. Sure, let's make a dark Sonic game that's rated E10+ with profanity for the sake of prof...

Mega Man Versus Bruce

August 23, 2022 18:30

Travel back in time with me tor a moment to the era of pre-release hype for Capcom's Mega Man 3 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. After Mega Man 2 seemingly came from nowhere to score critical acclaim and player popularity, fans were eager to see what was next for the blue bomber. GamePro magazine took an advance look at the game in the November 1990 issue and ended up mistranslating a few things from Japanese sources. My absolute favorite mistranslation of all time in gaming media has t...

A Boy And His Cancelled Blob Resurface

August 09, 2022 17:45

After reading Dylan Mansfield's complete history of Majesco's 2005 attempt to revive the A Boy and His Blob franchise for the Nintendo DS, I can only say "I'm sorry I wasted my time." I was excited about this! I didn't know better. Back at E3 2005 I did my best to find a playable demo of the game and was unsuccessful at every turn, and knowing what I know about the project now, I wish I'd put my time on the show floor to better use. The Majesco representative at their booth even denied they w...

Prepare For Trouble And Make It Triple

August 04, 2022 18:54

Sega's classic Sonic the Hedgehog games for the Genesis are still held up as the best in the series, but the handheld Game Gear titles deserve a little spotlight of their own. The last of those games, Sonic Triple Trouble, was the companion game for Sonic 3 and Knuckles featuring Knuckles as an enemy tricked by Dr. Robotnik once again and a new rival in the form of Nack the Weasel who is running his own plan to collect Chaos Emeralds. Now Triple Trouble is back as a fan-created game developed...

February 21, 2022 18:58

While the door has closed on adding new characters to Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there's one last straggler character who wants a shot at the action and, like any good cat, she's showing up on her own schedule. Check out the illustrious OwlKitty as she bats, paws, and struts her way through the action as a DLC character. Since it's too late to add her to Smash, I guess we'll just have to hope for her to star in her own adventure someday.
