Episode 404: Gravity Rush & Replicade (Patreon)

I suppose you were expecting a "podcast not found" joke this episode, but no dice! Instead, all you get is a couple of great conversations about video games.

First, Bill Nielsen joins us to help field his own patron request to discuss Gravity Rush (also feat. myself and Todd Ciolek). We realize Gravity Rush doesn't quite hit the 10-year cutoff mark, but that time is coming very soon. The PlayStation Vita is almost a decade old! Unbelievable.

In the secondary segment, I talk to the head of New Wave Toys, Shilo Prychak, about the genesis of his company and the inspiration behind the Replicade mini-arcade line's design and continuing evolution (spoilers: A love of the vintage arcade experience).
