It's time for us to continue our run-through on the Fire Emblem series and this time we're hitting two games in one. Path of Radiance is coveted as one of the best (if not the best) Fire Emblem and it super sucks that it's system-locked (looking at you Intelligent Systems). It's hard to pin down a singular reason as to why this game was so successful (deep characters, rich lore, and a lot of unique systems). Thankfully, ActualLizard and Professor Bopper are back again to help tag team what makes this duo so special.

Oh, and Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn is the best Fire Emblem duology. There. I said it. Come at me.

*Footage from @ProfessorBopper Thanks buddy!
*Whitty commentary from @actuallizard 🦎

Fire Emblem Sacred Stones is the worst Fire Emblem in the series......said no one ever.

All jokes aside, Sacred Stones is an incredible entry and often hits the top of most of Emblemer's Top 3 lists.

What is it about this entry that makes it so appealing? Is it Eirika and Ephraim's diverging paths? The split promotion choices? Or just the fun, ol' GBA animations?

In order to tackle this iconic game, Patrick is teaming up with the incredible Professor Bopper (again) and ActualLizard (again, again) who is definitely, 100% not actually a lizard (or is he?). If you've never played this game, make sure you scour those used game stores or pray that this eventually comes to the Switch. If you have, why is this game so special to you?

Season 3 might be over but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop talking about your favorite games! One of the most gracious groups of content creators I’ve had the opportunity to work with is hands down the Fire Emblem community. In season 2, we blazed through the entire Fire Emblem series, but now is the perfect time to tackle each game individually!



Fire Emblem Engage might be the most recent title but it does a lot of things right. I couldn’t possibly tackle this game myself, so thankfully, I have ActualLizard and Mekkah joining me today. Seriously, Mekkah, can you just be my own personal engage ring at this point?

It’s been a long time coming but we’ve finally reached the season 3 finale of RPGaymer. What better way to close out the season than to talk about America’s favorite pastime: RPG Mini Games. From Blitzball to Gwent, mini games have been a staple in the foundation of good gaming experiences. Sometimes you just need to take a breather from saving the world to catch a fish or race some chocobos… and maybe win an ultimate weapon while you’re at it.

Castlevania is another one of those series that has been around since the dawn of console gaming. Tales of Belmonts, whips, vampires, and crypts. The notoriety of its design grew so large that it even spawned its own sub-genre. Though the series has turned to dust, its image has been resurrected by many spiritual successors which carry on the incredible legacy.

Drop in and give a listen on why the Castlevania series matters and how it has had such an impact on games today.

The Legend of Zelda series has had its fair share of styles, but none contain as much whimsy as The Minish Cap. MC was released in 2004 but has recently resurfaced on the Nintendo Switch Online. On this episode of Bonus XP, we go over why this entry in the Zelda pantheon deserves a lot more praise for its accomplishments.

Get your Kin Stones ready and fuse with us as we discuss how this tiny tale is still a giant adventure.
