The SML Podcast – Episode 269: Virtual Rockage

Aki Kanerva of Virtual Air Guitar Company joins the show and there’s a ton of reviews, so let’s get to it!

Rain World is a gorgeous, yet punishing 2D survival exploration game in a dangerous, rainy world from Videocult and Adult Swim Games. 88 Heroes from Bitmap Bureau and Rising Star Games is a fantastic 2D platformer where 88 heroes must clear 88 levels in 88 minutes. New Frontier Days ~Founding Pioneers~ from Arc System Works is a town building sim on the Switch.

Ryan Underwood joins to review P.A.M.E.L.A., an intense and unforgiving survival shooter in Steam Early Access from NVYVE Games. Chris Taylor reviews Wonder Boy Returns, a beautiful remake of the retro classic from CFK. Pernell Vaughn joins to talk the awesome Zelda inspired action advneture Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King from Castle Pixel and FDG Entertainment.

Plus Pernell and I run through EIGHT of the Arcade Archives NEOGEO titles from Hamster! We give our thoughts and verdicts on Neo Turf Masters, World Heroes, Metal Slug, NAM-1975, The King of Fighters ’94, Sengoku, Fatal Fury, and Art of Fighting. Which ones are worth your $8?

After a quick break, Aki Kanerva of Virtual Air Guitar Company joins the show to talk about their newest game Air Guitar Warrior, out now for Xbox One Kinect! We chat about the long path the game took to release, the music in the game, left handed vs. right handed gameplay, as well as the difficulties of developing for Kinect when Microsoft seems to have given up on it themselves.

Intermission music this episode is a medley of Air Guitar Warrior tracks and we end the show with a handful of songs from the Blossom Tales soundtrack from Visager!
