Retro Wars - Super Castlevania 4
play

10/22/22 • 85 min

Our spooky month continues with Super Castlevania 4 for the Super Nintendo. It was a game I was too scared to play as a child but maybe as an adult I will have more luck. Suck it game!

My guest this week is Anthony of 8StringFuryGaming, please make sure you follow him at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5j1_KsxqKRSGsGXavMn59w

There is only one thing to cover for the news this week and that of course is Bayonetta and the voice actor debacle.

As always we have our letter section, stick it up your jinjo and survive or die. This week, we have the Castlevania and Metroid franchise and we ask you guys which one should be the survivor.

Retro Wars - Resident Evil 1 remake
play

10/17/22 • 87 min

What should be considered the gold standard in remakes, Resident Evil 1 for the Nintendo Gamecube made what was once a joke of a game, a legendary one. I never played the original because it looked so silly but this game changed all that. I went deep into the guest pool this week and brought out my brother, Phil, to join me on this adventure.

It is his first time doing a podcast so be nice.

Retro Wars - Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
play

09/05/22 • 81 min

Have you ever played a game that screams Japanese culture than this does? A game which hardly saw any copies compared to other huge titles of the era. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for the N64. One of the only games we received over here in the west and I loved it it. My cousin Stefan and I go over this gem and wonder why we don't see more of it.

Ah Duke Nukem.....a relic from the past...maybe. The Duke Nukem games were very good years before but Duke has fallen into a bit of a hole. He did have some goodins and this was one that he was at his best. Duke Nukem 64, a PC port onto the N64. I had never played a Duke Nukem game before but I gave it a shot.

This week myself and Dan Coles go through one his games he loved growing up.

Retro Wars - Episode 108 - Dragon Quest 2
play

03/12/24 • 77 min

Grab your sword, shield and staffs, it is time to go back to the world of Dragon Quest.....Warrior....again. Dragon Quest 2 which was released for the NES is often considered unbalanced by many for one particular area of the game. I wanted to see what all the hub hub was about. This week, I am joined by Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast, who played this kicking and screaming.
