The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast

"That old coot had me locked up tight in his lab... But guess what? I GOT OUT!" This week's destination is the Last Resort hotel. Luxury, decadence, and packed to the rafters with happy haunts. Ryan, Leah and James brave the halls of the haunted hotel in Luigi's Mansion 3. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_647.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1. 2F: Mezzanine by Chad York/Darren Radtke2. 2B: Boilerworks by Chad York/Darren Radtke edited by Ryan ZhaoYou can support Cane and Rinse and in return receive an often extended version of the podcast four weeks early, along with exclusive podcasts, if you subscribe to our Patreon for the minimum of $2 per month (+VAT).  Do you have an opinion about a game we're covering that you'd like read on the podcast?

“We might make a name for ourselves after all…” In a pre-prequel, pre-Disney's Star Wars world, almost any game featuring George Lucas' galaxy-spanning space opera was greeted with fervour. So it was with Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for the N64 and PC in 1998. Leon, Chris Worthington and Jon - along with contributions from you, the listeners - suit up and blast through the entire trilogy, focusing on the original, and GameCube sequels Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_646.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.

“EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG” Mark Cerny's first full project as a prodigious teen game creator (after coding a 'mushroom growing algorithm' for Millipede) was Atari's surreal and challenging Marble Madness. Leon, Brian and Chris Worthington run all six courses, albeit over considerably longer than the two odd minutes in which it's possible to beat the game. Along with community contributors, we also take a look at the hit arcade game's many home and handheld conversions, as well as a slew of clones and spiritual successors, from Bobby Bearing to Kororinpa. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_645.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.

“The evil hand of BASHTAR has seized the lovely MIHO.” Representing the tiny overlap in the Venn diagram of at least two niche subgenres (prehistoric jungle platformers/games with simian protagonists), Juju Densetsu (or Toki) is also a fairly pedestrian, memory-based platform/shooter. Leon, Chris Worthington, Dan and Toki-lover Michiel muse upon why this one has been condemned to apparent obscurity, despite receiving some acclaim, multiple home conversions and even a 'modern' remake. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_644.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.
