Going Retro!

Video Games

This week on the show, it’s all about RETRO! There’s no mistaking that Retro video gaming has come back in a big way in recent months, with the resurgence of old Nintendo consoles in mini form, old franchises like Crash Bandicoot and Final Fantasy getting new births and SEGA taking their game library mobile.

Luke, Kolby, Rachel and Kieren discuss their thoughts about this retro resurgence, including the best parts about it and the not-so-great aspects of it.

Also this week on the show, Jimmy brings us his review of RPG Maker Fes while Kieren stays on topic and gives the verdict on one of the most anticipated remasters of the year: Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age! It’s all here on your favourite video game show!
