Three brothers who grew up playing video games together in the 1990's and 2000's, discuss both modern and retro games on this podcast, from Sega to Playstation to Nintendo to Xbox, and everything in between. The podcast is built around grouping three games into a particular genre or category and discussing each game's merits and flaws, reminiscing, touching on the games' history, and providing recommendations. Every fourth episode of each category will be a "brodown" episode, where the three games "battle" and after much analysis and disagreement, an ultimate winner will be declared.

    Episode 054: Mega Man Legends

    Today we have another spinoff game to discuss. We all know Mega Man from his 2D side scrolling platformers, but did you know the Blue Bomber also starred in a 3D action adventure game with RPG elements? That's right! We're digging into Mega Man Legends, which was developed by Capcom and released in 1997 for the PlayStation.

    Episode 053: PAC Man World Re PAC

    We're starting a new category today - Spinoff Games! In this category we take a look at games from characters we know and love but in a different context from what made them famous in the first place. First up we have PAC Man World Re PAC, which released in 2022, but is a remake (hence the name "Re PAC") of a game intially released for the original PlayStation. We're used to playing as PAC Man in an arcade style but how does that translate to a 2.5D Platformer? For the poll this week, the brothers are asking which one of these classic arcade games is your favorite - Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, or PAC-Man.

    Episode 051: Donkey Kong Country

    We have one more game to discuss in our 2D platformer category and that game is Donkey Kong Country, developed by Rare and released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo. Donkey Kong Country is a critically acclaimed title that re-established Donkey Kong as a major Nintendo franchise. It received perfect scores from many reviewers but do we agree with the masses? Listen now to hear our thoughts! For the poll this week the brothers are asking which animal buddy from Donkey Kong Country would you rather have on your side - Rambi the Rhinoceros, Engarde the Swordfish, or Winky the Frog?

    Episode 050: Mega Man 2

    Our 2D Platformer category continues with the oldest game we've ever covered on the podcast. That game is Mega Man 2, which was released in 1988 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Mega Man's sophomore game is one of the most beloved in the series, but does it still hold up over 35 years later? Listen now to hear our thoughts on this piece of video game history! For the mid episode filler question this week, the brothers are asking which robot master weapon power would you like to have in real life? Flash Man's Time Stopper, Wood Man's Leaf Shield, or Heat Man's Atomic Fire. Follow us on X @BrosBossBattles YouTube @BrosBossBattles Instagram @BrosBossBattles https://brothersandbossbattles.com/
