EPISODE 500 IS HERE and we’ve got long time friends Mike Mika and Adam Rippon (not the figure skater) joining the show!
The show kicks off with Adam Rippon and Mike Mika joining the show to just hang out and chat for a while to celebrate our 500th episode. We talk about the recently announced #IDARB II, the SNK Collection coming to Xbox, future plans for Other Ocean, and Adam puts the final nail in the coffin for Dragon Fantasy on Xbox. Plus pizza talk, unreleased games, the meaning of SML, getting into parties because of Street Fighter, and tons more!
After Adam and Mike head out, it’s news time as we discuss a brand new dashboard update coming to Xbox One and Cortana’s depature from the system, Defiant Development (Hand of Fate) ending development of games, and Bigben Interactive acquiring Spiders! All that and Monster Rancher, EA Access talk, Rock Band history, and more. Plus reviews!
We give an early preview of the Xbox Game Preview release of Tropico 6 from Limbic Entertainment & Kalypso Media. Redeemer: Enhanced Edition is an over the top and brutal beat-em-up from Sobaka Studio, Buka Entertainment, and Ravenscourt. Lost Orbit: Terminal Velocity is a high speed dodge-em-up with a great story from PixelNAUTS Games.
Tim Ekkebus joins to chat for a little bit and celebrate Episode 500 before reviewing the Pinball FX3 – Williams Pinball: Volume 4 DLC packing White Water, Hurricane, and Red and Ted’s Road Show tables from Zen Studios. Finally, back to Cole for Decay, a collection of all 4 XBLIG classic psychological thrillers from Shining Gate Software.
