Episode 931: F-Zero GuiX – Radio Free Nintendo

You know the G? Yeah, you do.

So this time, it’s all email, right-now kinda deal ’cause we’re drowning in backlogs. And James? Poof, gone this week. Which means it’s back to some kind of proper order—or chaos, depending on how you see it—with Jon at the helm. Professional chaos, if that’s a thing.

First off, Jon’s wild ride with GameStop. I mean, who knew loyalty programs were this adventurous? And then we’re waxing poetic about which of those old-school games might get a snazzy Switch 2 makeover. After we grab a quick breather—no, really, we dove into the wild, punishing world of F-Zero GX. It’s the kind of game that’s like, “Hey, ever wanted to feel really bad at something? Here you go.” Oh, and what about Nintendo maybe, possibly, could-be putting out new stuff for their virtual consoles? Spoiler: we’re guessing. A lot. Princess Peach, modern style? Yeah, that happened too—a whole chat about her and the series, wandering thoughts and all.

Oh, and by the way, “Git Gud”? Nah, try “Git Gui’d.” Seriously, learn the tracks, or you’ll eat dust.

Guillaume Veillette, the audio wizard, tinkered with this episode. “Men of Leisure,” that theme that sticks in your head, is Perry Burkum’s jam, over on SoundCloud. The spiffy logo? Connor Strickland’s magic. Look him up, he’s always cooking up something cool.

The parting tune, “Birdman” from Pilotwings 64—props to Greg for that pick. Nintendo’s got the rights, but they let us enjoy it. I think.
