When the Dudes sat down to reminisce about one year in podcasting, one issue kept coming up. Neither Dude felt that they had done the early games justice. With so many awesome segments and so much better organization coming out of the later episodes, they felt like the show should go back and revisit some of those early episodes.

What better episode to start over with than Super Mario Bros? The game that started it all: The NES, the podcast, the Dudes’ love for gaming in general.

Hopefully, this time they have done right by this wonderful game. If not, maybe expect another return in a year?

Wrecking Crew

Standard

 

This week the Dudes dive into a Nintendo black box classic in Wrecking Crew. Brought to the NES by the famous Nintendo R&D1 crew, Wrecking crew brought an old school arcade feel directly into the living rooms of many.

Wrecking Crew is one of the earliest games that Mario, Luigi and perhaps Wario make an appearance. The Dudes speculate that there was either a furlough in the plumbers’ union or a strike that lead to the need for Mario and Luigi to explore the field of demolition. Despite the career turn for the Italian plumbers, Wrecking Crew makes for an entertaining play.

The Dudes enjoy this early Nintendo classic and hope you do as well. This was a fun podcast for the Dudes and hope the fun continues in your ears!
