  • An Excellent Take on a "Game of the Month" Show

    A bookclub... but for games!

    The Cartridge Club podcast is a made of a group of like-minded gamers playing a game each month, having a discussion about it, and deep diving into the 'nitty-gritty' of each game.

    It's wonderful, and a joy to listen to!

    I recommend trying an episode for a game you enjoy because the quality and conversations are excellent. #CCUnite

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Diddy Kong Racing - Cartridge Club - ep. 142
Q: What made Diddy Kong Racing stand out compared to Mario Kart 64?
The balloon-based item system and non-random item dynamics gave players skill-based control over combat and pacing, unlike the more luck-driven Mario Kart 64, which emphasized track familiarity and item luck.
