Ronin's Retrocade: Sports Saturday #16 - Super Sidekicks (SNK Neo-Geo)
2Apologies for the brief sabbatical, but now that we're back in the ranks of the gainfully employed with a revenue stream trickling in, we had to shut down for a week to get our work and production schedule ironed out.
But the good news is the Retrocade is back open for business and it's time for another Sports Saturday!
With the Euro 2020 football tournament in full swing, I wanted to get back on the pitch, but as we've already profiled EA Sports' FIFA franchise, it was also too early for a retread.
Luckily, my good ol' Neo-Geo had the answer with a game that's not hard to learn, but is difficult to master, and you can bang through an entire tournament in under an hour.
From 1992, it's the original Super Sidekicks!

If you're a Boxing fan like me, I'm psyched to announce my third YouTube media project "Superfights" is live! This one is dedicated to the history of 'The Sweet Science' by pitting the best fighters of each generation against each other in one-of-a-kind dream matches!
