    genuinely love what you guys do. This show has been a companion through some ups & downs, and helped me appreciate games I already love even more. I’m writing because I’ve found the discussion around some newer games increasingly glass-half-empty, and it's made something I used to come to for enjoyment a little exhausting.

    Your opinions as host are completely valid & fandoms are fickle, but as an audience we all come to these games differently. Sometimes nostalgia makes the past look better, and... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 439 - Zelda's Percentages: How Soon Will We See a Zelda Movie Trailer?
Q: What are your thoughts on Super Metroid, which you are playing for the first time?
Nicole said she was enjoying its art and atmosphere while exploring Brinstar and briefly entering Maridia. She was trying to navigate without a guide and suspected she needed an upgraded suit before progressing.
Episode 439 - Zelda's Percentages: How Soon Will We See a Zelda Movie Trailer?
Q: What did you think playing Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland?
Nicole was surprised by how much the game felt like a Zelda title, praising its characters, art and varied areas. She found it much more approachable with a price guide, though she thought the music was sparse.
Episode 426 - Ocarina of Time Remake Fan Q&A!
Q: Will there be voice acting in the remake?
One host is skeptical it will be voice acted, viewing it as a trailer device, while the other thinks there could be voice acting in key cutscenes, aligning with a cinematic upgrade but not necessarily everywhere.
Episode 426 - Ocarina of Time Remake Fan Q&A!
Q: Do you think combat in the remake will reflect Breath of the Wild's style or stay closer to the original Ocarina of Time?
Combat is expected to stay familiar to 3D Zelda conventions with potential quality-of-life improvements, like item wheels, but not a wholesale shift to Breath of the Wild combat design.
Episode 426 - Ocarina of Time Remake Fan Q&A!
Q: What level of change would be too much for you in the remake?
There isn't a strict line for what would be too much; changes must be good and fit the game, but the hosts are open to substantial changes if they enhance the experience without betraying the original's core identity.
