In this weeks episode Nick and Austin discuss what they believe are two of the most polarizing games to come out in recent memory (and one game Austin just can't fall in love with for some reason.) As we begin to get back in to the swing of this and nailing down the new format, we just wanted to tack a second and say thank you to those of you that choose to support us. It means a lot :) Intro song:"Technoir" by BotnikDiscord!

Spider Man 2 - It's All About The Swinging - From The Shelf Games Episode 27

This week the guys sit down and talk about a game that's part of a series that has existed since 1988. In fact, this was a series that Nintendo never intended to bring to the US but were convinced by Nintendo of America to give it a shot. We'd probably never have gotten Fire Emblem in the US if it wasn't for Nintendo of America and Advance Wars!Discord!
