Good episode on Bonk's Revenge! Speaking of desktop PVMs, I recently put two little ones on my desktop. Works perfectly with the small controller cords.

The Retron5 seems to be having the opposite effect on me -- ever since it's arrived, all I've done is messed around with CRTs and original hardware.

Got a free 13" CRT with SCART so I just need a $5 S-Video/Composite to SCART converter and I'm ready to go with modified systems.

The latest ep about GCCX. Ray said it's kind of weird covering another retro game-related show and compared it to doing an episode about BimP lol

I am starting a new series on BackinmyPlay.com to review new released inspired by retro games. First up will be Phantom Breaker: Battlegrounds on PS Vita.

Hope to have the review up tomorrow or Friday. From the looks of it, it is the perfect game to start the series.

Listened to a bit of the Bonk episode. Bonk's always had a sort of delayed jump. That seemed to be kind of a point of debate, but yeah. It's there.

I played some more on the Vita (PS3/PSP version) and it is still there. Again, might have just been more noticeable coming off of SMB3 episode.

I got to the end of Shovel Knight and I don't think I'm going to finish it. I'm just not good enough to get through that gauntlet at the end.

Planning on waiting for the PS Vita version unless Nintendo does a 3dsXL refresh.

BTW,

The review for Phantom Breaker: Battlegrounds is done. It will be up in an hour or two.

EDIT: The folks at Yacht Club Games sent me a code so I will review it this week.

I am going to be interviewing one of the developers from Yacht Club Games about Shovel Knight and their retro game influences. If you have any questions for the team let me know.

There will also be a review of the game up later in the week.

A couple of questions:
1. Do they plan to keep the retro sensibilities/influence as a key component of future projects?

2. What was something they wanted to do with Shovel Knight but ultimately had to leave on the cutting room floor?

3. Would a Shovel Knight sequel perhaps have a 16-bit artstyle?

I'd like to know if they would ever consider trying their hand at developing a classic style beat em up or turn based RPG.

Also where they got the inspiration for a shovel wielding knight.

lol just take it one knight at a time :p

EDIT: Btw you guys havent done an episode on Super Castlevania IV yet right? Because you should. I remember mentions of being creeped out when little with Castlevania 1 on an earlier episode. IV is legit creepy.

Sweet. I will hopefully finally be able to order one (my budget has been pretty bad this year).

And I didn't notice Saturn 201 was up, will make a nice companion for me at Jury Duty tomorrow :-(
