Game & Watch with Aaron & James

Episode 127: Mega Man (TV Series)

“Once the airport is mine, I'll control the city!” Mega May continues this week with the ‘90s American animated adaptation of Mega Man! Join Aaron and James as they explore three select episodes of the show and explore their ‘90s charm, middling animation, unintentional comedy, loving homages to the game series, and more.

Episode 126: Mega Man Battle Network 2

"Jack in!! MegaMan, Execute!" Mega May continues this week with an entry in Capcom’s tactical role-playing spin-off series. While Aaron.exe and James.exe think this game might have succeeded a bit more in the early 2000s than in today’s gaming era, there are still some high highs to discuss among some of the very low lows. Get your cyber phones ready (or whatever cyber equipment you use to listen to cyber audio recordings) because you’re in for a cyber good time!

Episode 125: Mega Man X

"X, you shouldn't expect to defeat him, he is designed to be a war machine. Remember, you have not reached full power yet. If you use all the abilities you were designed with, you should become stronger... You may even become as powerful as I am." In his latest adventure, the heroic X faces off against Gaming Backlog Man, Completionist Man, and a special returning guest. Can X overcome his toughest challenge yet: proving to the world that this one has earned its place in the pantheon of great games? And has James gotten any better at the series in the last four years? These questions answered and more in this week's episode as your hosts kick off Mega May!

Episode 124: Resident Evil Requiem

"I missed that Raccoon City hospitality." This week, Aaron and James decide if Capcom nailed the latest entry in this 30-year-old survival horror series. Despite its popularity, critical acclaim, and efforts to honor Resident Evil's past does it live up to the hype? And where do Aaron and James rank it compared to other top contenders from the franchise? Listen and find out!

Episode 123: Metroid Prime

It's finally time. It's finally Prime. This week, Aaron and James tackle the pod's most requested* game. One of the best examples of Nintendo bringing one of its series to 3D and one of the best Gamecube games to boot, this classic has aged exceptionally well. Join your hosts as they explore the beautifully-detailed world of Tallon IV, laud the progression and environmental storytelling, and so much more. James might even go on a rant or two about critics of the scan visor! (*by James)
