Join the gang as we break down the recent Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and ask all the big questions. Does Snake Rattle 'n' Roll still hold up? Did it ever? Is Pocket Card Jockey even a real game? Why does it feel so nice to say "Contra: Operation Galuga"? Try it: Galooooga. Galooooooga. Lovely stuff.

Hey!

The Switch 2 rumour mill keeps on chugging. Although mills don't actually chug, do they? I suppose former host of Channel 5's Games World, Bob Mills, looks like he's chugged a few pints in his time... So there we go. Mills can chug. Now shut up and let me get on with this.

Er... Switch 2, yeah. That's covered here. We've also played a bunch of stuff, including Super Mario RPG, Cassette Beasts, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Case of the Golden Idol.

There's also an EPIC game of Mario or Smario to finish you off.

2024 baybeeeeeeee! Strap in for a big one.

This week, we're joined by one of our most ravishing patrons and PROPER GAMES JOURNALIST, Nate Ellingsworth, to pick his brains on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

We also look ahead to Nintendo's 2024, and look back at other years that end in a 4.

Hey, what's your favourite year that ends in a 4? Mine is probably 1984, because of the novel by George Orwell. I've never read it, but I have a beloved aunt who lives under the Orwell Bridge near Ipswich.
