Super NES Works: Lucky no. 13 (Patreon)
Content
This episode is kind of my platonic ideal for what this series should be. It's not just a retrospective about the game, but about this specific version of Populous. I had the occasion to interview Yukio Horimoto of Infinity a couple of years ago, and he mentioned the important role that Populous for Super NES played in his company's history. I tucked that nugget away to use here.
If I had my way, every single one of these videos would offer secondhand insights (or even firsthand!) into the studios responsible for creating these old games, but until the videos become a lot more profitable, it simply isn't financially viable for me to travel the world interviewing the people behind obscure studios doing thankless contract work. I guess that's a weird dream to have, but it's mine. Maybe once I win the lottery or something.
In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy this rare glimpse of what Retronauts Video Chronicles could be. And please enjoy the coming holidays, whichever and however you choose to celebrate! I'll have one more video for you before the year closes out.
Edit: Fixed!
