Retronauts Episode 88: Yoshi Games

Man...where do I begin? Lmao!! This will be a controversial ep when it's released. But it was damn funny. Also, I really want to play all of these games now.

I wouldn't feel too bad about missing out on the secret stages—they're too cruel and punishing to be any fun. And yeah, Kondo scored this as he would an NES game, so there's not nearly enough music. - Bob

My guess in regards the caveman trend is that people who were Flintstones fans as kids grew up into wretched humorless creatures with creative control over projects in the late 80's and 90's and attempted to pass on their childhood trauma to a new generation of children.

About 2 years ago I decided that I wanted to play SNES games in the best possible way for two games, Super Metroid and Yoshi's Island. So I went and bought an XRGB mini, all the required cords, a surround sound system, and a real cart copy of Yoshi's Island. Oddly enough the game was cheapest at $55 with box and manual. I was blown away at how good it was. I beat it end to end, minus getting all the secret levels, and it was goshdarn spectacular. Yoshi's underground music became my favorite snes piece overnight. My only complaint, which I don't hear too often, is that there weren't enough musical tracks. I felt like some of them we're overused a lot.

Now I can't not get a Yoshi's Island cartridge for my recently acquired SNES. I finished the GBA version when it was released for the 3DS Ambassador Program but only ever played the original at a kiosk in Walmart almost 22 years ago. I did however watch the ending multiple times on my Best Video Game Endings of All Time VHS I ordered from Nintendo Power.

"the only way you leave Nintendo is in a body bag" wow Bob, wow. A little too true.

Also, N64 videos in the style of Good Nintentions/Game Boy World/ Mode 7? Yes, please!

I agree. How soon do I want a Yoshi's Island episode? Next week.
