Discovering Games Via Super Smash Bros. (with Kolby, Mikey Tabletop & Jim Rodeman)
Listen now
Description
In this Break from the Backlog, I'm joined by Jim Rodeman, Mikey Tabletop (Big Drink Energy) and Kolby (Switch It Up) to discuss one of my favorite underrated things about the Super Smash Bros. series- how it has introduced me to so many of my favorite characters, games and game series throughout the years. We talk about how without Super Smash Bros, we may not have played series like Fire Emblem, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Ice Climbers, Bayonetta, Xenoblade Chronicles and so many more. You should check out Jim on several past episodes of Tales from the Backlog, Mikey on Big Drink Energy, and Kolby on Switch It Up!
