On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris board the SAG Cartoon Express for another “classic” episode of ThePower Team. This time, it’s an episode called Train Game, where there’s a train full of kids under threat of explosion from Mr. Big from NARC, and the only hope of saving the day lies in the hands of Acclaim NES game D-listers. Fun!
In Week Old News, the new Mortal Kombat movie gets a hefty delay, the EverCade lineup gets some Activision goodness, and ninjas are EVERYWHERE! How desperate.
Finally, in The Checkpoint, Kris beat Bananza, but Dan didn’t so he can’t talk about why the final act cements it as one of Nintendo’s all-time greats. Dan got his hands on Metal Gear Solid Delta and has been annoying everyone he know switch his Solid Snake impressions, and Kris got to spend a little time with the beautiful Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star crossed Worlds. And yes, that is the game’s actual title now.
Enjoy!

Enjoy!

In Week Old News, we discover a 1981 reference in Donkey Kong Bananza, Chuck E. Cheese goes after adults, and OneXSugar is super weird. Oh, and Microsoft laid off a metric ton of people even though their profits were doing just fine. Sigh.

Enjoy!
