  • Good content let down by awkward commercial cuts

    It’s a good show. I like the content and the hosts. I get that commercials are a thing and I’m not complaining that they exist. Just that in this podcast they can start anywhere, including the middle of a sentence. One time you said “let’s check out this sonic game” and it cut to a sonic detective podcast commercial which was extra confusing. If you guys can tighten up the commercial transitions I would have no hesitations giving 5 stars.

  • It’s good, but…

    …the content is great, and the hosts are knowledgeable, but episodes tend to go on for a little too long. Also, Triforce needs to calm TF down. My ears can only take so much.

Q: If you could pick any game to get a demake, what would it be and what retro system would you want it on?
The panel skews toward original Game Boy aesthetics for its unique limited-color magic, with suggestions including remaking Kirby platformers in Game Boy style or reimagining Donkey Kong 94 on Game Boy. They also consider Monster Boy, Shantae on Mega Drive, and other 8- or 16-bit era vibes, highlighting the charm of pre-rendered assets and era-specific visual language.
