What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

First, the basics: The sound quality is good and the podcast comes out on a consistent schedule. The hosts keep to a format and don’t stray too far off topic. Finally (what earns them the fifth star) is that there are few if any commercials. Commercials are fine but always cost one point in my reviews; I need some metric to separate good from excellent. Also what makes ‘good content’ is subjective and I don’t think it should be part of how many stars I give a podcast. In other words, a show I disagree with a lot can still earn five stars. Similarly a show I always agree with should not automatically earn five stars. Played these games as a kid and I listen to a few NES podcasts. This is the only one I tune into where the hosts (likely) were not alive when these games came out. While at times frustrating to my nostalgia-colored opinions I really enjoy it because they offer a unique viewpoint. The entire point of the show is to determine if old game is worth playing in the 2020s so in that regard their relative youth is actually an asset. I wouldn’t change anything. Also they are super lucky they [eventually] added in Gun.Smoke to the Essentials list, I was about ready to start a riot.

The more I listen to this podcast, the more I like it. The guys all have a good dry sense of humor. Initially I listened to episodes of games I played but instead I'd recommend listening to the podcast chronologically. Interesting how their opinions change on games over time.

Friends chatting about Nintendo games in a fun, witty, and casual forum. This is the comfort podcast I didn’t know I needed :)

Great podcast if you grew up in the 80s and want to relive, share in the joy of people playing the classics you grew up on--or, if you just want to yell at how wrong they are in their assessments of classics like Simon's Quest! Yet, the problem is, 200 episodes in, everyone sounds GREAT except the friggin' host who sounds like he's doesn't have a mic, but he's talking into a tin can. Come on! Otherwise, check it out.

These guys are taking the long way to form conventional opinions about the nes library. The show could benefit greatly from the hosts doing even the most basic research. Understanding the difference between, developer, publisher, and distributor would be a start. Understanding the very basics of the nes hardware would be a second. Many of the design choices they tend to criticize on the show seem to often be linked to limitations of the Nes or not understanding how cartridge technology and improved memory mappers influenced game design. I would hope the hosts would eventually read an overview of the Nes such as Nathan Altice book “I am error” in order to balance their wish lists of changes they’d make to games running on hardware they know nothing about. We can all wish games were this way or that, but without knowing why game design decisions were made based on real life memory constraints or limited hardware, it all just seems a little pointless. These guys are always on time though, they upload promptly every Friday which is appreciated. While I find much of the show to be frustrating, it is still a show about my favorite console and therefore keeps pulling me back in. But pleeeease, acknowledge that LJN didn’t actually develop any of the games they published. That’s just not how it worked.
