S1E00: Platformers? More Like Transformers!
It's morphin' time as Mike & Jaymo deep dive into shape-shifting platformers Kid Chameleon (Sega Genesis, 1992), Claymates (SNES, 1994), & Jelly Boy (SNES, 1995) on their epic quest to research & review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!
Along the way they'll try to figure out why the early 90s seemed so obsessed with having kids get trapped in video games, how game manuals at rental stores used to be community resources, and some flashbacks to old lenticular covers.
Then, let them know whether you think these "classics" are Ninten-Do's or Ninten-Don'ts!
