Them Sweet Game Boys Them Sweet Boys

Them Sweet Mythos Boys return to the Final Fantasy well once more with a trip to Valisthea. Joe and Ethan dig into this Devil May Cry game cosplaying as a Final Fantasy, and dissect its narrative, characters, and overall oddness that is this game. For such a poorly paced hodgepodge of a game...we both actually kind of like it. It certainly has its ups and downs, but either way, it certainly makes for a very fun episode. 

The duology comes to a close with both sweet boys trading games! This time Ethan played Tactics Ogre: Reborn  and Joe played Octopath Traveler II and here come the final thoughts on both of them. This is certainly a part 2, as we don't discuss the basics of either game, and we are no holds barred on spoilers.

Discussing some business and the reasons behind delays of podcasts! Stay tuned for some more podcast goodness down the line. 

This episode we have a little JRPG show and tell! Joe decided to play Tactics Ogre: Reborn while Ethan played Octopath Traveler II. This episode is a preview of both games, with future full episodes dedicated to both games after both Sweet Boys have played it! The discussion is a bit more laid back, but we get to both gush about two very fun and recent JRPGs.

Them Sweet Boys go to Indie Town, population Ghost Foxes! Joe and Ethan try to decipher the mystery that is Tunic, a 2022 throwback to the original NES Zelda games. You play as an adorable fox cub who is tasked with exploring the ancient ruins of an island to free a spectral fox from her prison, but boy does this little fox have a tough time doing so. This one gets pretty salty!

Joe and Ethan look at an odd sequel that is loaded with nostalgia for Ethan, and has no nostalgia at all for Joe! Another game developed and produced my Gunpei Yokoi's team at Nintendo R&D 1, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins is a really solid and inventive platformer with lots of player choice, and some smart evolutions from the first Super Mario Land. It is a really solid Mario title, and a great snack of a game, perfect for the Game Boy. I mean, the game that birthed Wario has to be good!
