Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

As always, Kevin kicks things off with some of the games that he's been digging into lately — including getting back into UFO 50, along with a couple of indies on Steam that are 100% FREE to play!

Randall jumps into the conversation after that, as we dive into all sorts of video gaming goodies, pulled from two separate chunks of discussion from our recent marathon recording session — including some follow-up thoughts on Super Mario 3D Land, the Panzer Dragoon series (and the rail shooters that it has inspired), arcade beat 'em ups from Konami, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We're shorthanded to kick off the new year this week, but that won't stop Randall & Kevin from getting longwinded about a whole bunch of gaming goodies, so let's get rolling...

Randall gets things started off with his impressions of Marvel: Cosmic Invasion, after getting a chance to rip through the vast majority of the game via Game Pass, co-operatively with his wife.

After that, Kevin rolls right into a certified gush-fest for Gimmick! 2, which he finally snagged on sale for super cheap, and is one of the best 2D platformers he's played in quite some time.

Finally, we wrap things up with a little Nintendo talk, after Kevin's been spending some time with Yoshi's 2D platforming adventures, as well as the wonderful (and somewhat underrated) Super Mario 3D Land.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

Kevin kicks off the new year, per usual, with a trio of awesome little arcade-inspired indie games that he snagged during the recent Steam holiday sale — including Geballer, Orb Tower, and Shooting Saucer.

John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we dig into the many, many games we've gushed about over the years on previous "Holiday Editions" of the podcast!

[Check out John's exhaustive spreadsheet of EVERY game we've ever discussed (or even mentioned) on the podcast right here!]

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

Kevin kicks things off with a bit of a random one, after stumbling across a Revolution X arcade cabinet at the record store — before moving onto finally giving 30XX a fair shake, and a quick recap of some of the games he's been playing with his nephew on Switch lately.

Per usual, John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we gear up for next week's annual "Holiday Edition" episode — and also dig into wonky physical copies & misprints, some light Final Fantasy VII discussion, and more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We've got the full gang in attendance once again, and all sorts of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into the action!

Randall kicks things off with some first impressions on his brand new Analogue 3D console, which is breathing some new life into his Nintendo 64 library.

After that, John keeps the first impression train rolling, after snagging a new 8BitDo Ultimate 2C controller — before rolling right into some quick updates on his continued time with both ARC Raiders & Tears of the Kingdom.

Kevin closes things out with some first impressions of his own, after finally getting his hands on a PS5 console — including his thoughts on Astro's Playroom, along with a quick Crash Bandicoot 4 addendum.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

As always, Kevin gets things started off with some of the games that he's been digging into lately — including a handful of arcade shoot 'em ups from the two Capcom Arcade Stadium collections that he recently snagged, as well as some quick thoughts on the Panzer Dragoon: Remake, and series as a whole.

John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, and as always, we've got even more video gaming goodies to dive into — including co-op play in Luigi's Mansion 3, Randall's new G'AIM'E Light Guns, physical game collecting woes, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We've got everyone in the building once again, and we're chock full of gaming goodies per usual, so let's get rolling!

John gets the things started off with some first impressions on the recently released ARC Raiders, which he's been playing with some of our bandmates lately — and after that, he's getting back into some Tears of the Kingdom​ once again.

From there, Randall shares his impressions on the G'AIM'E Light Gun System, which he recently received after backing their Kickstarter over the summer (a pretty darn quick turnaround for a Kickstarter project!)

Finally, Kevin wraps things up with an absolute gush fest, after getting completely sucked into Excite Truck on the Wii, after finally scooping up a physical copy all these years later.
