We’ve got a brief rundown for you this week, so let’s dive in!
Greg kicks things off with his thoughts on the Switch port of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (00:02:06). His impressions set the stage for a journey back to this beloved classic. Meanwhile, James lets loose with his frustration at Nintendo for cluttering Nintendo Switch Online with less-than-stellar games like Super Ninja Boy (00:33:13). His rant is as entertaining as it is insightful. Guillaume, on the other hand, has triumphantly completed the first Final Fantasy in its Pixel Remaster form (00:58:13). Not stopping there, he’s also been enjoying Ridge Racer 64 (01:13:32) on the same platform and dabbling in some questionable arcade games (01:18:16).
After taking a breather, we jump into Listener Mail where we debate whether Tactics Ogre or Unicorn Overlord takes the crown (01:27:04). We also dive into a fun guessing game with some elusive C-Words (01:44:43) and take a nostalgic stroll down memory lane reflecting on Super Mario Bros. as its anniversary approaches (01:49:03). Don’t be a stranger—drop me an email; it’s always great to hear from you.
This episode owes its polished feel to the editing talents of Guillaume Veillette. Our catchy “Men of Leisure” theme song is an original piece crafted exclusively for Radio Free Nintendo by Perry Burkum—check out more of his work on SoundCloud. The Radio Free Nintendo logo is the creative handiwork of Connor Strickland, and you can see his other projects on his website.
For our send-off, we have “Star Wolf” from Star Fox: Assault, which was Greg’s pick for this episode’s conclusion. All rights to the music are held by Nintendo Co., Ltd.
