Episode 128: Shovel Knight

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!

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.
