Episode 931: F-Zero GuiX – Radio Free Nintendo

Anyway, there we go, diving into this email overload because, well, life’s a backlog sometimes, and we’re just catching up as best we can. James decided to take a breather this week, leaving us with Jon, who — with his usual spark of dignity and a kinda laser-like focus — brings some order to the chaos. Or tries to at least.

Here’s a twist — we’re looping back to Jon’s GameStop saga. Quite the ride, honestly. More twists than a bowl of spaghetti. Then, we wander into the realm of Pro Memberships. Got me thinking about dusty video game cartridges in the attic. Anybody else? Next, a bit of daydreaming about bringing some of those classic games back for the Switch 2. Feels like flipping through an old comic and seeing the potential all over again.

Then there’s the pause. Gotta pace ourselves after all. We dive headfirst into the punishing world of F-Zero GX. Do you ever just wonder if some games are designed to embrace your failures? Anyway, Nintendo… virtual consoles… will they, won’t they? One can only guess. Plus, sketching ideas for a new Princess Peach game. I swear, her character deserves a whole fresh take. Like, imagine the possibilities.

Oh, and a lesson we stumbled upon — “Git Gud” should probably be “Git Gui’d.” Seriously, learn those tracks, people! It’s like trying to decipher an ancient map but in a good way, if that makes sense.

Shoutout to Guillaume Veillette for piecing this episode together. He’s the mastermind behind the scenes. And that snazzy “Men of Leisure” theme song? We’ve got Perry Burkum to thank. You might wanna check out his stuff on SoundCloud — just saying. Oh, and the Radio Free Nintendo logo? Connor Strickland’s brainchild. Curious about his latest projects? Head over to his site.

And… ending on a high note, we’ve got “Birdman” from Pilotwings 64, thanks to Greg’s awesome pick. Can’t help but smile hearing that tune. All credits to Nintendo Co., Ltd. It’s their magic, after all.
