Wario Land and Kat Bailey. Very promising. Can't wait to give that a listen on my commute tomorrow.
The Wario episode is very good.
Just had to say that the new theme song is really damn cool, great job.
I felt kind of let down that the first episode kinda felt just like a bunch of dudes talking randomly about the rather undefined 83 topic.
Awesome. Great cover art by the way. Was you the one who did it?
Just came to say that the Wario episode was absolutely fantastic, and I'm definitely going to look into picking up some of the old games on the 3DS eShop. My only Wario experience is with Shake It, which I loved, and they were sort of down on compared to the Game Boy games. Nice to hear Kat Bailey talking about something other than RPGs too.
Jeremy briefly mentioned that WayForward's first Adventure Time game is a good approximation of Zelda II, but is it equally difficult?
The Prodigal Son Returns!!!Guys, Jeremy tweeted this out a few days ago
Probably not for 2 more weeks, but the return of Sharkey is confirmed!

Jeremy, if you read this, please do a Shin Megami Tensei episode. That Persona episode from 2009 was such a tease.
I wonder if one of the podcast topic suggestions from KickStarter was SMT.
Did anybody else here back the KickStarter at all on that tier? Would we even be allowed to say the topic?! O_O
It blows my mind that the Friday the 13th NES game was developed by Atlus!
I got the mini episode tier after someone backed out on one of them. Gave a few suggestions as I wasn't sure what would fit best. I'm going to be interested to see which one they choose.I wonder if one of the podcast topic suggestions from KickStarter was SMT.

Sorry, I didn't choose SMT

Hi, it’s Ray. I was bemused that after so many episodes of Retronauts on so many different topics, we never took time to dive into Tecmo’s Ninja Gaiden series. It was one of the best-remembered series of the NES days, and not only did it codify a big part of games (it was arguably the first console action game to incorporate cut-scenes), it owes a bit to its contemporaries, namely Castlevania. And that’s just one of the talking points we go over in this episode.
My intent was to touch on all of the “retro” Ninja Gaiden games, as they’re not just the NES trilogy most people remember. There was the original arcade game, the Game Boy title, some notable ports, and as you’ll find out, a whole other Sega-borne series that Tecmo licensed out. We also talk about some Ninja Gaiden-related media and merchandise. However, we don’t talk much about Tecmo’s rebooted Ninja Gaiden series — though some of you may have been kids when it got started, we weren’t, and why were you allowed to play M-rated games, anyway?!

I actually would love a retronauts that talks about old gaming magazines leading up to the early years of gaming websites. Not sure if that would work out though since that's more about looking back on the industry than a genre or series and may create some kind of conflict of interest.
