Power Button - Episode 341: Microsoft Puts A Ring On Activision-Blizzard
January 21, 2022 21:07 - 80.7 MBMicrosoft stunned the business world this week by laying out nearly $70B in cash to acquire Activision-Blizzard. We have definite opinions about this purchase, so this week's podcast is dedicated to discussing the ramifications of what this means to the video game industry. Blake also has a few gears to grind regarding gaming streaming culture catchphrases and controller holders shaped like beloved characters.

Power Button - Episode 340: At Long Last, <i>Metroid Dread</i>
December 22, 2021 15:00 - 62.5 MBAfter more than a decade of waiting and wondering, fans finally have the chance to play the long-gestating Metroid Dread. On this week's show, we discuss Nintendo's "Metroid 5" and how well we think it lives up to its impossible levels of hype.

Power Button - Episode 339: The Man With Two Brains
December 05, 2021 22:05 - 74.9 MBBlake Grundman has the pinball fever this week on the podcast, telling the tale of how his beloved Star Wars pinball table died and what he had to go through to get it repaired. Then he has another story for us about taking spare parts from the repair job and building a second, smaller digital table. Finally, while he was dealing with those things, I replaced my aging Game Boy Advance battery with a new one that has me back up and running. The man tells a hell of a story, so sit back for an h...
Power Button - Episode 338: N64 Expanded
November 19, 2021 23:42 - 81.1 MBWith the recent addition of Nintendo 64 title to the Nintendo Switch Online service, we spend an hour this week discussing how the games perform on the Switch, whether the package is a good value, and how well the new model of N64 controller works.

Power Button - Episode 337: Nintendo Direct Q4 2021 Recap
October 08, 2021 18:45 - 55.7 MBNintendo recently released lots of news about upcoming releases for its Switch console, so we figured it was only fitting that we spend a little time discussing the big announcements including Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Splatoon 3, Bayonetta 3, Castlevania Advance Collection, and more.

Power Button - Episode 336: Epic v. Apple
October 01, 2021 18:00 - 50.7 MBThe ongoing lawsuit between Epic and Apple reached a temporary resolution recently, but before the case moves on to the appeal phase of its life cycle, Blake Grundman wants to air his grievances about the verdict and wonder where it's all going to lead. Join us for a shorter than usual show this week that tears into the matter, and if there's time we'll get to the real important stuff like the twenty-fifth anniversary of Donkey Kong Land 2 (but there won't be time).

N64, Genesis Games Coming To Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass
September 24, 2021 20:00After years of slowly trickling games from the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super NES libraries onto the Nintendo Switch, new consoles will make their debut in late October... with a catch. Coinciding with the introduction of classic Nintendo 64 games including Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as well as Sega Genesis games such as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Ristar is a new tier of paid service for the Nintendo Switch Online service. For a price yet to b...
Power Button - Episode 335: Getting A Handle On 20 Years Of Nintendo GameCube
September 24, 2021 15:15 - 102 MBIt is absolutely anniversary season in the world of video games as this week we're commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the release of the Nintendo GameCube. Join us for a discussion about the best and worth that the system has to offer along with some personal favorites and memories. The big hitters like Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Mario Sunshine, and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker are covered, of course, along with games including Sonic Gems Collection, Wario World, Spider-Man, Vi...
Power Button - Episode 334: 30 Years Of 16 Bits
September 03, 2021 16:00 - 96.9 MBThe anniversaries just keep on coming as this week we turn our attention to the thirtieth anniversary of the release of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in North America. Bundled with Super Mario World and debuting with release titles SimCity, Pilotwings, and Gradius III, the Super NES would go on to host some of the very best video games of all time. On this week's episode, we discuss the console's highs and lows along with some personal memories of how playing Super NES games were im...
Power Button - Episode 333: Metroid Memories
August 27, 2021 16:00 - 78.7 MBIt's been thirty-five years since Nintendo released the original Metroid, and since then the franchise has gone to sport sequels, interquels, remakes, and spin-offs. That's a lot of territory for what essentially boils down to four (soon to be five) games that make up the central plot of the series. On this week's podcast, we're celebrating Metroid's big anniversary with a look back at the games, how they fit together, which ones we played over the years, and what's coming up next. Join us fo...
Special Appearance By... Samus Aran
August 06, 2021 14:00While Nintendo's Metroid series has taken several years-long breaks over the years while other franchises like Super Mario appear annually in some form, the heroic Samus Aran has popped up in other places where you wouldn't really expect her while her own series is on hiatus. From puzzle games to racing games to pinball games, she's turned up to give players a smile. The Metroid Database has chronicled these cameos from 1987-2016 across multiple consoles and even into some third-party games w...
Game & Watch Strikes Back
July 28, 2021 14:45Nintendo has revived its old Game & Watch line for the anniversaries of Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, but the $50 handhelds you can buy today are not representative of what the product line used to be. The original Game & Watch units used primitive LCD graphics instead of full color screens, so it's understandable why Nintendo isn't reproducing the exact old hardware. Now you can sample the Game & Watch experience with Itizso's lovingly created digital reproductions of three diff...
Mini-Review: Fixture S1
July 27, 2021 14:00I play my Nintendo Switch mostly in bed these days as I wind down with a little Super Mario or Mega Man before falling asleep. The only real drawback to playing Switch in handheld mode are those tiny Joy-con buttons that, while functional, aren't exactly comfortable for an adult's hands. I'd much rather play with my Pro Controller with its comfortably sized controls, but that's not really feasible when laying down and holding the Switch itself. Thankfully, there's a mounting clip for Switch o...
Power Button - Episode 332: Birthday For Barrel And Banana
July 16, 2021 15:30 - 86.2 MBWe're celebrating the fortieth anniversary of Nintendo's original Donkey Kong arcade game this week on the podcast with a salute to some of the gorilla's best games spanning from the very beginning through his 16-bit rebirth into the modern era. Join us for memories and a to-do list of games you need to play; yes, the Country series is in there, but we also go into the weeds with lesser known games such as King of Swing and Barrel Blast. You'll be busy long after the discussion ends. Download...
New Nintendo Switch Model Boasts OLED Screen, LAN Port
July 06, 2021 14:00Nintendo has finally lifted the veil on an updated model of its popular Switch console after months of rumors. This new Switch offers a brighter OLED screen, a wired LAN port on the system dock, a wider kickstand, enhanced audio, and 64 GB of internal storage. Basically, it's a mid-cycle quality of life upgrade. Don't expect anything new that would change the game (no pun intended); the new Switch still tops out at 1080p resolution when docked, so no 4K powerhouse here. It'll cost $349.99 whe...
A Symphony Of Sonic
June 29, 2021 15:15The video gaming community is celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis this month, and Sega is celebrating too with a series of events, products, and new games all coming out this year. Last week one of those events blew the doors off the Internet, so if you missed the Sonic Symphony, it's time to set aside two hours and watch some of Sonic's greatest musical hits performed by a symphony and fan-favorite rock bands such as Crush 40 that hav...
Power Button - Episode 331: Days Spent With <i>Days Gone</i>
June 25, 2021 21:05 - 87 MBBend Studio's Days Gone for the Sony PlayStation 4 landed with somewhat of a thud when it released two years ago, but multiple patches, being free for PlayStation 5 owners, and a recent PC port have revitalized the zombie apocolypse title, giving it a second wind and a new admiration that it didn't have before. On this week's podcast, I explain to Blake Grundman why more people need to play this game by spoiling the hell out of it, so if you want to know the main story beats before deciding t...
Who Is Shantae?
June 22, 2021 19:30Plenty of us passed over WayForward's Shantae when it was released for the Game Boy Color back in 2002. After all, it showed up very late in the GBC's lifespan and, if you didn't know any better, you might mistakenly peg it as a childrens' game about a cute little genie that uses the power of dance to fight her enemies including the dastardly pirate, Risky Boots. Boy, did we miss out. There's actually a lot of tricky platforming and sly innuendo that makes the game more appropriate for an old...
<i>Metroid Dread</i> Revealed After Fifteen Years
June 15, 2021 17:45Nintendo announced a new 2D platformer Metroid game earlier today and for those of us who have been around a while, the title of the game, Metroid Dread, set off a few bells. Metroid Dread was first rumored back in 2005 when it supposedly appeared on a Nintendo release list just prior to E3. I never saw that list posted from an official Nintendo source, so I was doubtful that it was truly a real project, but the game hung around in the mythos for a while as fans wondered what it could be. The...
Power Button - Episode 330: Our VR Helmets Awaken For <i>Star Wars Pinball VR</i>
May 25, 2021 19:13 - 72.4 MBA long time ago when I lived in a different house far, far away I bought a PlayStation VR unit, but have not used it very often after the original wow factor wore off. Zen Studios has encouraged me to dust it off thanks to the new Star Wars Pinball VR, and of course Blake Grundman is flying high with his various Oculus headsets to try it too. We have an hour of discussion about the game, the new tables based on The Mandalorian and classic collectibles, the career mode, the decorative fan cave...
Local Cat Enjoys Super Mario Play Tower
May 07, 2021 18:00The old saying goes: you can pick your cats, and you can pick your toys, but you can't pick your cat's toys. Buy a cat a fancy new toy and she'll prefer to play with the cardboard box that it came in instead. Set out a tower for a cat to climb, and they'll stare at it and then walk away unimpressed. My wife had an old, scratched-up cat tree that has put in many years of service that, after all this time, the cats in our clowder have grown bored of playing in and sleeping on. We had it...

Power Button - Episode 328: A Love Letter To The Delisted
April 30, 2021 19:29 - 87.7 MBSony made some waves in the gaming community recently when it was announced that they were closing the PSN stores for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation Vita. There was such a loud uproar of resistance to this news that Sony doublebacked on the plan and will leave the PS3 and Vita stores open while the PSP is still closing down. This led us to start talking about our favorite video games that have been delisted from online stores, never to be seen again. This week's podc...
<i>Castlevania Resurrection</i> For Sega Dreamcast Resurrected
April 27, 2021 13:40Sega and Konami had trouble making a partnership involving the famed Castlevania franchise work. Despite releasing Bloodlines for the Genesis in 1994, plans to produce Castlevania titles for the 32X and Dreamcast never did come to fruition as those hardware platforms went down in flames in the market. One of the more intriguing cancelled games is Castlevania Resurrection for the Dreamcast which focused on the then-origin of the Belmont family line, Sonia Belmont from, 1997's Castlevania Legen...
Ratchet And Clank And Rivet Trip The Rift
April 26, 2021 14:00Since buying a Sony PlayStation 5 last November I have played a number of games on the console, and while they've been impressive to experience, save for the pack-in Astro's Playroom, every game has felt like a dressed-up, boosted version of a PlayStation 4 game. In truth, many have been exactly that: PS4 games with increased texture detail and more impressive lighting. Sony and Insomniac Games revealed a new trailer for the upcoming Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart this morning that has me feel...
2021 Hallmark Gaming Ornaments Revealed
April 03, 2021 12:37Over the past few years Hallmark has produced a variety of its popular Keepsake ornaments for a range of video game franchises, and while we started out with just a handful of Super Mario ornaments, this year the product line as revealed early by Keepsake fan site Digital Dream Book has expanded to include a little something for everyone from Caped Mario's famous Super Mario World appearance to a pair of 8-bit pixelized Link and Princess Zelda ornaments to commemorate the thirty-fifth anniver...
Power Button - Episode 327: Twenty Years Of Playing With Advance Power
March 26, 2021 16:00 - 88.1 MBNintendo's Game Boy Advance turns twenty years old in month, so it's the perfect time to reminisce about one of the strongest handheld libraries that only use a single screen. On this week's episode we're sharing GBA stories, covering the usual suspect games like Super Mario Advance, and recommending some obscurities such as Drill Dozer, marveling at unusual accessories including motion sensors, rumble paks, TV tuners, media players, and the e-Reader. Join us for an hour of conversation about...
New Nintendo Switch Pro Rumors Solidify
March 23, 2021 14:00It feels like we've been talking about an upgraded Nintendo Switch Pro model for almost as many years as we've talked about the existing Switch, so when rumors about a more powerful version of the console start to circulate, I usually disregard them. When Bloomberg is the source though, I tend to pay a bit more attention. Today's report is that Nintendo is working on a new Switch model destined for release later this year that will display 4K visuals when docked to the television and sport a ...
Power Button - Episode 326: Nintendo/Pokémon Direct Q1 2021 Recap

Next End Of Life Milestone Approaching For Nintendo 3DS
February 25, 2021 15:00I think by now most everyone in the gaming community has made peace with the knowledge that the Nintendo 3DS's best days are behind it as the Nintendo Switch (and especially Switch Lite) has taken over its market in the handheld gaming space. Now Nintendo is driving the next nail in its coffin with the announcement coming ten years to the day of the launch of the original 3DS that after March 31, the company will no longer offer repair service on the original Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL models du...
<i>Super Mario 64</i> But You Are The Scary Piano
February 06, 2021 14:50Hobbyist ROM hackers and modders have made minor changes to classic video games since the dawn of computer gaming. Well, maybe not the dawn. Perhaps the week after the dawn. When I was first dabbling with console emulation back in the 1990s I saw a glut of crudely changed games clearly altered for shock value such as nude and/or racism-inspired hacks of Super Mario Bros. where all someone did was change a few pixels here and there. Today that scene has evolved, and while I'm sure there are st...
Get The Most Out Of Your PS4 Games On PS5
January 27, 2021 15:00Backwards-Compatible.com entry for Ghostbusters: The Video Game Sony's PlayStation 5 is thankfully backward compatible with the PlayStation 4 and most all PS4 games can be played on PS5 and often with an improved experience. Games that ran at thirty frames per second on a PS4 run at sixty frames per second on a PS5. Resolutions can increase. Not every game is improved in the same way though and it's up to players to try their favorite games to see how they perform. Now there's a centralized d...
Watch The Nelsonic Mario Watch
January 26, 2021 14:30Today when you talk about handheld gaming, most players think of a Nintendo Switch or a mobile device connected to a remote play or cloud gaming service. Twenty years ago, handheld gaming meant carting around a Game Boy Color. Thirty years ago? Well, there was the original Game Boy, of course, but for a cheaper and more portable experience there were the Nelsonic gaming watches featuring famous licensed franchises from Nintendo including Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong...

Power Button - Episode 324: 2020's Biggest News Revisited
January 15, 2021 15:36 - 101 MBWith the portal sealed and 2020 banished back into Hell, it's time for our customary look back at the most memorable video gaming news from the year that was. Thanks to the coronavirus, 2020's news was largely "inside baseball" in nature as nobody could safely stage a large physical presence at a convention or trade show, but there was still plenty to talk about as Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. celebrates its thirty-fifth anniversary, Apple and Epic go to war over - what else? - money, Microso...

<i>Super Mario Maker</i> To Be Discontinued
November 25, 2020 15:30It's been a good run for Super Mario Maker for the Nintendo Wii U, but after five years, one port to the Nintendo 3DS, and a sequel for the Switch, it's almost time to say goodbye. Nintendo announced this morning that effective March 31, 2021 that the game will no longer allow players to upload new courses to share with other players and that the game's website bookmark feature will also cease to be. The game is also scheduled for delisting from the eShop on January 12, 2021. Upload 'em while...

A Dangerous Darkwing Duck Musical Medley
October 09, 2020 14:24Since the first video games to feature music were created, fans have tried to take those simple composition and tap them out on a piano or strum them out on a guitar. Over the years, the fan community has continued to advance, taking increasingly complex melodies and turning them into impressive new creations. If your game includes Super Mario or Mega Man in the title, then there's no shortage of people who can perform your tunes. The familiar strains of World 1-1 or Air Man's theme are a bit...

Nintendo 3DS Belongs To History Now
September 17, 2020 20:20Word came this morning that Nintendo has discontinued production on the entire Nintendo 3DS family of hardware, ending the company's dedicated handheld gaming dynasty that extends back to the Game Boy era and, if you want to argue beyond that, the Game & Watch. Launched in 2011, the 3DS brought us all so many happy memories with stand-out titles such as Super Mario 3D Land, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Mario Kart 7, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Kirby: Planet Ro...
It's My Fault That <i>Donkey Kong Country 2</i> Is Only Just Now Coming To Nintendo Switch
September 16, 2020 16:51I have a terrible confession to make, friends, and I hope you can forgive me. You see, Nintendo announced yesterday evening that three more Super NES games will be coming to the Nintendo Switch Online's Super NES collection next week, one of which is 1995's Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. I regret to say that it's my fault that the game is only just now coming to the service instead of arriving weeks ago. Earlier in the summer when the first game in the series, Donkey Kong Country,...
