In this episode we’re discussing the first release in a beloved, classic Playstation franchise - Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus! Released on September 23 of 2002, Sly Cooper blended stealth with action platforming with a cell-shaded graphical style and followed Sly and his two partners Bentley the turtle and Murray the hippo in their quest to liberate the titular Thievius Racoonus - a fabled book, and also a family heirloom of Sly’s that chronicled all of the thieving skills of his ancestors - from the evil group the Fiendish Five.

Each of the game’s five worlds revolves around one of the Fiendish Five and features a selection of levels that range from traditional platforming to other activities like racing or piloting a variety of other vehicles. Spread throughout the levels are also a series of collectibles like the traditional coins which grant an extra life for every 100 collected, or “clues” which are represented by glass bottles scattered throughout each level, and once all are found grant Sly the ability to open a vault found somewhere in that level to receive a single page torn from the Thievius Racoonus, granting him a new ability.

Watch Lucas conquer the One Chip Challenge!

This week we introduce a new style of episode, the Music Box! In these episodes we will discuss the music of video games based on specific topics. And to kick things off, we’re talking about Opening Level themes, or the “Level 1” theme, to be a little more precise. Not to be confused with the game’s Opening Theme, the “Level 1” theme is often the first track you hear upon gaining control of your character in a game. We’ve each picked a selection of favorites to discuss today!

Last year we introduced the Indie Sample Pack, a type of episode where the three of us pick an indie game for the group to play, and we discuss our thoughts on the games based on early impressions. These are not full reviews, but rather initial thoughts based on the early hours of gameplay in each game. In these episodes we hope to give you some fun indie recommendations because, let’s be honest, everyone could stand to play some more indies! And with the summer on the horizon and game releases slowing down for a few months, what better time than now to check some out?

The games in question this time around are the Mega Man-inspired roguelite 20XX, the amphibious rhythm game Tadpole Treble, and the love letter to classic JRPGs Sea of Stars!

This week we’ve got something of a That One Game Double Feature for you, as we’re talking about not one, but TWO games - those games in question being the first two games in the critically acclaimed Sonic Advance trilogy developed by Dimps in collaboration with Sega for the Gameboy Advance. The first game released in North America on February 4 of 2002 and was praised for its graphics and animation, as well as its resemblance to the original games from the Sega Genesis. On March 10 of the following year, Sonic Advance 2 would release once again to critical acclaim. The sequel also received praise for its additions in replay value over the first game.

On this episode we’re setting the record straight with regards to emulation! Having been rather topical in the news as of late, from the Nintendo-led takedowns of emulators Yuzu and Citra, to Apple finally allowing emulators to exist on the App Store, we thought now would be a great time to discuss the topic since it’s one we’re all passionate about and there is A LOT of misinformation to be found out there. We’ll be discussing our thoughts on emulation in general, its relation with and the ethics of piracy, and more!

This week Metroid month concludes with a bang, because we’re discussing what’s widely agreed to be one of the greatest games ever made - That One Game: Metroid Prime. Originally released on November 18, 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube, Metroid Prime brought the franchise’s signature exploration-based gameplay into the third dimension for the very first time. Interestingly, it was not the only Metroid game released on that day, as the Gameboy Advance game Metroid Fusion - the fourth entry in the 2D series - shared a simultaneous release, and both games were able to connect via link cable to unlock special features. Both games were critically acclaimed at launch and Metroid Prime is still to this day one of the highest rated games of all time.

Developed in collaboration between Nintendo and Austin, Texas-based Retro Studios, Metroid Prime takes place in the years between the first two mainline Metroid games as the bounty hunter Samus Aran finds herself on the planet Tallon IV after intercepting a distress beacon from a Space Pirate ship orbiting the planet. Upon investigating the planet she discovers experiments conducted by the Space Pirates involving a massive sealed-off crater and a mysterious substance flowing from it known as Phazon.

Early last year Nintendo surprised us all during a February Nintendo Direct by announcing a brand new HD re-release of the game, with the digital version dropping that very same day. Dubbed Metroid Prime Remastered, it sported updated visuals and controls to bring the game up to speed for modern audiences.
