In our 150th episode of
the podcast, we take a trip down memory lane to celebrate the 20th
anniversary of the Nintendo 64 and the 25th anniversary of Sonic the
Hedgehog. The N64 was a formative console for both of us, containing some of
the greatest games ever made – but also arriving with some major flaws that
would prove a sea change for Nintendo. Breaking down its history and impact
makes for a fascinating conversation. Sonic the Hedgehog has perhaps an even
more complex and convoluted history, given the sheer gap in quality between his
best and worst games, but it’s safe to say that if it weren’t for the blue
hedgehog, neither of us would be into games the way we are today, and as we
look at Sonic’s best and worst moments, it’s hard to feel anything other than overall
fondness for Sonic and his strange group of friends. Discussion of Pixar’s Finding Dory, Nintendo’s Kirby: Planet Robobot, and The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine rounds out
the episode.
