On this week’s podcast, it’s the return of the Alphabet Soup-er Series! This month was Dan’s pick, and he went with Power Blade 2 for NES. Does this unusual game about a beefy dude with a boomerang stand the test of time? How does it compare to the original Power Blade? What’s going on with this bizarre story? IS this actually a Christmas game? Find out now!       

At the top of the show, Dan played more UFO50, and predicted the end of Marvel Snap at the hands of the new Pokemon mobile card game. Will his prophecy come true? Meanwhile, Kris finds some interesting facts about Yoshi’s Island, finishes off Yars Uprising, spends some quality tie with The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and more! 

Finally, in Week Old News, Sony hosted a new State of Play, Microsoft had a presentation at TGS, and Nintendo hates AI. Plus, PS5 Pro Pre-orders are a predictable mess, Sonic’s been busy, Minecraft skips the Series X, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!
