105: This is Gonna Turn Into Planet Earth

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  This week, we’re talking about a bunch of stuff we’ve been playing on Nintendo Switch lately, before getting into a nostalgia-fueled discussion at the end of the episode.  Let’s get started!

John kicks things off with his thoughts on the latest first-party release from Nintendo, New Pokémon Snap—who would’ve thought we’d see the day where this game would exist!?!  He’s been really enjoying the relaxing ride so far, and we’re looking forward to hearing more about John’s expeditions in the future.

Kevin’s been bouncing around between a few different games on the Switch lately, with The Wonderful 101: Remastered  being where he’s been spending the bulk of his time—it’s definitely a little rough around the edges at times, but when this game shines, it really shines!  When he’s not taking down robo-baddies in style, he’s blowing ‘em away in a couple of awesome arcade shoot ‘em ups, Void Gore & Hell is Other Demons.

Finally, we wrap things up with a little Bomberman chat, spending most of our time raving about the fantastic iterations of the franchise on the TurboGrafx-16, Bomberman ‘93 & ‘94, along with some underrated gems on the Game Boy Advance & Nintendo 64.
