On this week’s podcast, Dean fills in for Dan, joining Kris for this month’s Alphabet Soup-er Series! It was Kris’s pick for the letter O and he went with the marble rolling wonder On the Ball for Super NES. It’s an odd game for sure, with some zany music and completely unhinged “cinematic” cutscenes, but is it a good time? How much better does it perform when coupled with the Super NES Mouse? Let’s find out!

At the top of the show, Dean has some dog troubles as he works on getting his new house built, but he still finds time to dive into Steamworld Heist 2. Meanwhile, Kris got Covid, so he had an absolutely miserable week of coughing, sweating, and feeling like death, but also found the time to figure out his ongoing TV situation, play the new Doom releases, the new Vampire Survivors DLC, among other things.

Finally, in Week Old News, Limited Run announces a frankly insane new version of Doom for Super NES, Borderlands crashes and burns at the box office, Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition for Sega Genesis gets patched, and more. Enjoy!
