This week some honor roll grunge kids are trying to sell us the 32X. We find good things to say about two 90’s movies that starred Angelina Jolie. Street Fighter 1 almost made it to the NES and someone beat Super Mario Bros with one hand behind their back. We’re accidentally sinking our own island and we’re keeping the spirit of Castlevania alive in this episode of the Retro League.

This week:

This week we wonder how many ‘Johny Turbo’s there are, but we know exactly what percentage of people who will get the upcoming FF7 HD remake have played the original. We’re video game hipsters because we haven’t played the most popular games on a lot of retro systems, and classic Mega Man is coming to Nintendo’s latest system. We don’t understand the popularity of Pogs or how you would put them in an augmented reality cell phone game in this episode of the Retro League.

This week we’re not insulting Prince Harry, and we warn against eating 13-year old honey mustard. Computers are randomly making Mario and Doom levels while we enjoy our relaxing RPG town music playlists. If the return of the mythical NES Classic Mini wasn’t good enough for you Japan is getting an anime-themed one and we’re also getting a tiny, strangely-colored Neo Geo that doesn’t come with a power cord. We’re putting on our wizard hats and swimming away from bigger fish in this episode of the Retro League.
