Remember a time when everyone was breaking their TVs playing Wii bowling, remember when we were all happy a new console had just come out, I do. Wii sports was a launch title and it was bundled in with the console making it one of the best selling games of all time. It was a banger and made way for the Wii to be what it was.
But does it still hold up? This week, I am joined by CPC, The Christian Pokemon Champion, to reflect on a game which changed the face of gaming.

The Turtles are back!!! With a new film in the cinemas and doing really well, it only makes sense to do a Turtles episode. I hit the backlog and went with Fall of the foot clan for the Game Boy. One of my oldest games in my collection and I got to replay it on the Cowabunga Collection.
This week, I am joined by Keith from the Main Quest Podcast who had never played it before, will he like it, or send it to the bin like the third TMNT film?

It is movie night here on the show. We are looking at our first video game movie, Tekken: The motion picture. Listening back, I don't think I have laughed so hard for a while. This week, I am joined by brothers, Raging Demon and Chaotic Jim for the Kommand list podcast.
Is this the holy grail of movies? Is this the greatest anime film ever? Let us know.

My memory goggles are strong with this one. We all remember the worm, the ultimate worm, Earthworm Jim. I played this back on the mega drive when I was a child, and I got to replay it again last Christmas. My guest Sic Jake from the Press B to cancel podcast who asked me to go back into the history books.
I had a good crack, but does the worm still hold up?

Finally.....the show is covering this monster of a game, Bubsy 3D. This could be one of the worst games, if not the worst game ever made. I was sick with the ro ro and I got asked by Chris to play this game. Did he think this would make feel better? No, it did not....it made me worse. I think I got ro ro again from watching it.
Let's all enjoy this.....well try to enjoy this...together shall we
