In a world of video game negativity, Johnny Millenium from HappyConsoleGamer shines above the rest. This week, he’s re-entering The Create Unknown for his THIRD appearance to talk games with Kevin, and just be an all-around good time.
We kick off the episode with some discussion on the monolith that is the Final Fantasy franchise, and the ups and downs it’s had over the years. Kevin and Johnny share some of their favorites (as well as some low points), and get into JRPGs at large.
Then Kevin talks about his recent forays into Playstation 1 remasters, and his hopes for the future of that style. We also talk about the sheer number of SNES-style RPGs out there today, and just why there are so many of them.
We also dive into the world of the COLLECTOR’S EDITION, and how they just aren’t what they used to be anymore. We talk about the saturation of these special editions of games, Kevin and Johnny’s impressive collections, and the absolutely staggering price of things like that today.
We round the episode out by looking to the future, specifically for Nintendo. We talk about the surprising decision they made to release Breath of the Wild 2 on the current Switch, as well as some speculation into what the next hit Nintendo console may look like.
Thanks to everyone who tuned in live this week, and to all of our patrons who make this show happen. We’ll see you all again next week!
