Welcome to a special Nerds Without Pants! Eric Peacock from the Soundtracker Podcast joins us for the first time to talk about pretty video game music, his video game origin story, and much, much more!
Hey there! This is the craziest Nerds Without Pants EVER! We only got a handful of songs for Stage Select, so instead of talking about 7 or 8 songs and calling it a day we decided to create an entire two hour block of radio programming that approaches UHF levels of insanity. Yep, this is happening. Check it out!
One of the most recent downloadable titles for from Square Enix is one of their 32-bit classics, SaGa Frontier. Originally released on PS1 in 1997 in Japan and in early 1998 in the US, it was one of the first games after FFVII that I bought for my new PlayStation. It certainly didn't have quite the razzle-dazzle of FFVII, but it had a style I really liked. Unlike a lot of other Square classics, SaGa Frontier never got a re-release as a Greatest Hits title or a PS1 Classic, though it was popular enough in Japan to be included on their version of the PlayStation Classic. It seemed destined to be lost to the ages, until now. SaGa Frontier Remastered is now available on the PS4 and the Switch, which is remarkable when you consider that when it was originally released, Nintendo and Square weren't on the best terms, as well as PC, iOS, and Android. I chose the Switch version.

So I gathered a list of pros and cons or as my pun filled title suggests joy cons (rimshot*) Anyways, bad jokes aside I figure it would be best for me to offer my opinion. Because even though I am a fan. I am privy to Nintendo's manipulative ways. So without further ado...here's the list!
Despite what your opinions are of the seventh console generation as a whole, I think we can agree that it was a pretty weak time for boss fights. The games released seemed to not be suited as well to boss fights as the past ones, which resulted in either bossless games (Call of Duty) or incredibly lame ones (take your pick from the Uncharted trilogy). However, that's not to say the generation did not have its share of epic fights. So here's my pick of the best of the gen.
Hello folks, It's that time again that I show off my Gaming book collection at you all.
So I decided to say whatever and bring my blogs from 1up. Might not bring all of them of course but a few choices ones. Today you get to read about when I made a Suda51 game!
Well it's that long overdue period where I post a blog about something I was originally going to post. Time is hardly ever on my side these days now that I have bought a Wii U Wind Waker bundle and my job, but I figured I might as well post this blog I promised. So with that being said...here is a top 10 list of Wii games not released stateside!
