Pursuing Pixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'
As always, Kevin gets the ball rolling with a handful of the games that he's been digging into lately — this week, primarily focusing on yet another fresh batch of indie demos that he's been checking out recently.
John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we continue to discuss even more gaming goodies — including some Nintendo Switch 2 chit chat, retro game collecting, menu flow states, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Everyone's here once again this week, and per usual, we've got all sorts of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into the action!
John kicks things off with a couple of games that he's been bouncing back & forth between over the recent weeks — primarily focusing on the recently released Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!, with small dose of Saints Row IV on the side, to round things out.
After that, Randall takes us into the retro realm, as he's been spending some quality time with Master Higgins in Adventure Island II on the original Game Boy.
Finally, Kevin closes things out with a little more retro goodness, after recently snagging a copy of Sega Bass Fishing on the Nintendo Wii, and getting "hooked" on the classic arcade action.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'
Per usual, Kevin gets the ball rolling with a couple of the games that he's been digging into lately — this week, leaning into a couple of quick first impressions for both Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots & Yoshi And The Mysterious Book.
John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, and this week we're all over the map, with a bit of a focus on movies & TV shows this week (though we still get into some video game action, as well) — including the pros & cons of digital vs. physical media collections, finnicky triggers on PS4/PS5 controllers, Nintendo Switch GameShare, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're back to full strength again these week, and we've got a trio of games to dig into this time around, so let's get right into the action!
Randall & Kevin get the ball rolling with each of their first impressions on the recently released Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2 — a completely overhauled remake/reimagining of the Nintendo 64 classic.
After that, Kevin & John dig into their thoughts on Cast n Chill — an indie fishing game that has a boatload a potential, but left both of us wanting just a little bit more from the overall experience.
Finally, John & Kevin slather some praise onto Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain — a bite-sized 3D collectathon platformer, released to celebrate the original game's sixth anniversary!

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 a quick recap on some of the games that he's been digging into recently — primarily giving a shoutout to a few (more) demos that caught his attention over the last couple of weeks.
John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we dive into some more video gaming goodies — including licensed games in the retro era, games that our friends & cousins owned growing up (that we didn't have), early handheld janky, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  There's only two of us in the house this week, but Kevin & John still have plenty of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into it...
We get things started off with a recap of the 5th Annual Pursuing Pixels James Jam Game Gam, and give a few quick shoutouts to some of our favorite entries this time around!
Kevin takes the reigns after that, and digs into his first impressions of Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, which he was inspired to finally boot up after John's recent time with Mina the Hollower.
Finally, John closes things out with a potpourri of retro JRPGs that he's been bouncing between lately, including the Breath of Fire series, EarthBound, and more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're got the full crew in the house once again this week, and a whole bunch of gaming goodies to discuss (per usual), so let's get right into it...
Randall gets things started off with an update on his time with Twilight Princess HD, where he's been continuing to make steady progress while playing through the game with his daughter on the weekends!
John takes things from there, as he gets started off with his first impressions on the recently released Mina the Hollower from the folks at Yacht Club Games — before ultimately digging into his love/hate relationship with Destiny 2.
Finally, Kevin closes things out with some first impressions of his own, after firing up the demo for Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia — a somewhat unexpected sequel to one of his favorite 2D platformers in recent memory.

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 a quick rundown of some of the games that he's been digging into lately — including wrapping up this year's PPJJGG game jam (which ends later today), along with a few indie demos that really clicked with him recently!
After that, John & Randall jump into the conversation, as we dig into all sorts of various gaming goodies — including annoyingly short controller cables, retro gaming ROMs & hardware emulation, gaming consoles becoming glorified DVD players, and much more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're at full-strength once again this week, and we've each got a game that we're eager to dig into, so let's get things rolling...
John gets things started off by revisiting Severed Steel, a fast-paced FPS that he was somewhat lukewarm on the first time around, but has really started to *click* with him this time around.
Randall takes us into familiar territory from there, as he gets into some more beat 'em up action, with the semi-recently released (and absolutely gorgeous) Absolum.
Finally, Kevin wraps things up with a bit of a gush fest, after finally unwrapping his physical copy of Victory Heat Rally and popping it into his Nintendo Switch (where it is still currently residing!)

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the full crew in the house once again, and we've got all sorts of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get into it...
John gets things started off with a handful of RPGs that he's been digging into recently — including a couple of recent indie releases, alongside a couple of modern day entries to the genre from the veterans over at Square Enix.
Randall takes over from there, and shines a little light on a semi-forgotten retro game from the legendary developers over at Treasure.
Finally, Kevin closes things out with a spotlight on one of his all-time favorite competitive multiplayer games, as he revisits the original Super Mario Strikers on GameCube for the first time in ages.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'
Kevin gets things started off with a trio of games that he was able to dig into at The Coin Slot arcade bar (in Traverse City, Michigan) — including a couple of indie "hidden gems," alongside an updated arcade classic (from 10+ years ago)!
John & Randall jump into the conversation after that, as we continue to dig into some gaming goodies — including Kevin giving Mario Golf: Super Rush another shot, revisiting Rhythm Heaven on Nintendo DS, and more...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the full crew in the house for the first time in quite a while, and we've got all sorts of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get rolling...
Kevin kicks things off with an update on his time with Cuphead, after polishing off the Delicious Last Course DLC in co-op mode with our old pal DJ, from the early days of the podcast!
John takes the reigns after that, and dives into a few games that he's been digging into after getting back home from a recent trip out west — primarily inspired by some of his recent, real-life snowboarding adventures in Utah.
Finally, Randall closes things out with some recent mountain-traversal of his own, as he spends some more time with Death Stranding, before ultimately throwing in the towel, at least for now...
