EarthBound Retrospective Discussion - This Nintendo Life Podcast (Episode 76)
The podcast has moved and will only be uploaded here for a few more episodes! Find its new home here: https://www.youtube.com/thisnintendolife
Hey everyone! This week on the show it's a shortened what we've been playing in light of our mammoth Backlog Club segment! Bally picks up classic e-shop title Pushmo and gives his thoughts on the innovative puzzler. Meanwhile Nbz has been playing many different things, but opts to talk about the way he's been playing them instead, namely at the gym! He also bought a PS4 and gives a quick run down of the UI and how Nintendo could learn from it for NX! After the break we dive deep into our long awaited feature segment, the Backlog Club, discussing cult classic EarthBound. The boys go to great lengths to discuss the many facets of this beloved game and bring in the thoughts of listeners in the form of e-mails. We will be back with another Backlog Club soon, but hopefully you enjoy this one for now!
