2023 Xmas Special 3 - Conker’s Bad Fur Day (Nintendo 64)
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
What is there to say? Conker's Bad Fur Day has made its own reputation and, in 2001 Ashley succumbed to that by putting it on his Christmas list. Alongside American college frat houses, adolescent boys were probably the second-most target for Nintendo and Rare's irreverent team-up, and it certainly went down well with our then-teenage host. But is it any good now? Listen in to find out!

Tuesday Dec 12, 2023
Tuesday Dec 12, 2023
Christmas, Chris says, is for doing whatever you want, so he's gone and thrown his own rules out of the window and brought a Mario game for us to play this festive season. Making its first appearance on the Nintendo DS, New Super Mario Bros. became a staple of every Nintendo console lineup for the next 15 years. Chris gifted it for Christmas in 2007, and now he's trying to spread the festive joy by gifting it to us. But is it any good? Let's find out!

Saturday Nov 11, 2023
Normally, Chris and Ashley only ever gotta go fast when they're hanging about with sketchy blue spiny mammals, but this week, just like Markus Zuckybug instructed, they're using cars to proceed quickly and smash stuff in Burnout Revenge! Like a big boy's version of a kart racer, the player is tasked with forcing other racers off the road, into walls and over cliffs so that they can be victorious. Is it any good? Listen in and find out!
