Nin10-Drawer: The NES Blinking Light Fix That Actually Works w/ BlueShell3D – The Game Show S13E20

The NES front loader has one fatal flaw: that blinking red light. Push a cart down, watch it strobe, blow on it, try again. Alex from BlueShell3D built the fix. The Nin10-Drawer swaps the worn out 72 pin connector for a toploader style slot and an extending drawer, so carts seat clean every time and pull out without the deathgrip. It even bypasses the lockout chip for region free play, no soldering required. In this episode we get the creator on to walk through how the drawer works, why the front loader fails in the first place, what went into designing and manufacturing it, and whether it really beats the old Blinking Light Win. Plus the usual Game Show tangents.

Unlockables Used to Mean Something | The Game Show S13E18

Remember when you had to actually earn the costume? When the second quest meant something? When Mew was a rumor at recess and not a code on GameFAQs? Tonight we’re getting into unlockables and post-game content. The bonus modes, the secret characters, the harder difficulty that opened up after the credits. The stuff that turned a 10-hour game into a 40-hour obsession. We’ll talk about why it worked, when it died, and which games still do it right. From Smash Bros character rosters to Ocarina of Time’s Master Quest. From Mortal Kombat’s Reptile to Wind Waker’s second quest. From Resident Evil’s Mercenaries to Pokemon’s post-Elite Four grind. If you spent your childhood playing the same game six times to unlock everything, this one’s for you. Drop your favorite unlockable in the comments. The one that made you yell when you finally got it. ► MUSIC Opening: Project X – Mega Man 2 “Project X2 – Title Screen” OC ReMix – https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00625 [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDV3QXh0MDdkZERvQmZWWWVSeHVIY041YTVyZ3xBQ3Jtc0tscXlKdTZmN1htRFNXNi0xMWxJaHFXV21XV0pzXzhwazEzR1ZUa3lXR0tjTFJIWTVjdzJTUzdhSy05Z3BQcDFiM1dnSnFDVXdsN0pJUHFGdW15eDhBT09rek9ob280N0FWMmdDN0h6N1Q2T0NBZWNpTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Focremix.org%2Fremix%2FOCR00625&v=rIpQF1QP96Y] Closing: Project X – Mega Man 2 “Ending” Buy the album here: https://projectx.bandcamp.com/album/m… [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXllUkEzQkl4VkdaX0ZVTVFyVkhLRTFLeUJTZ3xBQ3Jtc0tscjZUYUV5WlUxcV9HeW4wUEFEdVdiT0ZzY09kVG9YOFZZZlJBN2xEd0o4QUJLcjNXdk9yb2tlU1BtSk9iQzduQldRbUNMTXpZTlJPV3lKMTlKX01KN2ZpbUFBeFJRbnVJRUVBcHROWUlqV283WVE0VQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fprojectx.bandcamp.com%2Falbum%2Fmega-man-2&v=rIpQF1QP96Y]

Mortal Kombat 2 is in Theaters So We Talk 34 Years of MK (1992–2026) | The Game Show S13E17

Karl Urban put on the sunglasses last Friday. Mortal Kombat II just hit theaters and its the best video game movie in years, according to critics. So tonight on The Game Show, we go through 34 years of the most controversial fighting game ever made. From the 1992 arcade cabinet that made Congress mad and birthed the ESRB, all the way to Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) and the brand-new movie sequel. Every mainline MK. Every console. Every blood code we typed in. The Senate hearings. Mortal Monday. The Toasty guy. ABACABB. The Tobias departure. Carl Weathers as Jax. Ash Williams almost being in MK11. Techno Syndrome. The whole thing. The Game Show has been running since 2002. One of the earliest gaming podcasts ever made and tonight we get over here. The Game Show is part of BreakmanX — gaming podcast, gaming culture, retro and modern, since 2002. 📺 Subscribe for new episodes every week ► MUSIC Opening: Project X – Mega Man 2 “Project X2 – Title Screen” OC ReMix – https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00625 [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1Rtakl5ZFc1eFYzN21KUThYbDFzMzF4WTFRQXxBQ3Jtc0tuQVlHdzRQNGJFaXhsbndYZTFvY0pxcFd4UEFGakUxd05VS2pOQk9mWXBid3NkN0xwY09vUE5kdDBiRFNlc0FURklNMTZRVHYzWklZenpZZVFzMkhjU04tY3c3NUNCZ3lKRlFUQkV5bG5wcVNBRjJ6aw&q=https%3A%2F%2Focremix.org%2Fremix%2FOCR00625&v=z2GDXy4KFZs] Closing: Project X – Mega Man 2 “Ending” Buy the album here: https://projectx.bandcamp.com/album/m… [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbTl2aFhxTmNTU0ozQ0dhRTJFYVVCSTNzUlJ2UXxBQ3Jtc0tuMDJrdVhRY3lXanAtVGtfNDB0Yjl6eF9BUnREY0RWeXR2aEV6R2w4ZTNPZk81UEJGZVRLQUVlS3NSZ2I4OWt2TnFFUmxWUU9wRXdldjlTV3FwS3dTbEVMYzVhNEE0eVE3OV9pM2tpUDJNSE91Y2REVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fprojectx.bandcamp.com%2Falbum%2Fmega-man-2&v=z2GDXy4KFZs]

Broken in All the Right Ways Our Favorite Glitches & Star Fox Direct Reaction | The Game Show S13E16

Tonight on The Game Show, we’re cracking open the archive of gaming’s most beloved bugs and the glitches that built speedruns, broke economies, launched congressional hearings, and turned accidents into legends. From the Minus World to MissingNo, from the Backwards Long Jump to Hot Coffee, from Halo 2 sword flying to Skyrim’s flying giants, we’re going era by era through the moments games broke and somehow got better for it. Plus: Nintendo just shadow-dropped a Star Fox Direct today (May 6, 2026). A full remake of Star Fox 64 is hitting Switch 2 on June 25, the character designs are leaning HARD into the original SNES puppet aesthetic, and we have… opinions. Do a barrel roll into the show. Hosted by the BreakmanX crew. New episodes weekly. The Game Show is one of the first gaming podcasts ever made, running since 2002.
