1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,600
Hey Mike, you like retro gaming
podcast, right?
2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:05,760
Sure, Jamo, Who can afford all
those different games and
3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,960
consoles they talk about?
I hear you.
4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,920
But on our show, the Old
Switcheroo Gaming Retro with
5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,680
Mike and Jamo, you'd never have
to worry about that ever again.
6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,760
In our first three seasons,
we've covered nearly 100 games
7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:22,360
from the NESSNES, N64, Gameboy,
Gameboy Advance, and Sega
8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,560
Genesis.
And the best part?
9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,640
Any Switch owner can access all
these games with a cheap online
10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,960
subscription.
Don't just listen, play along.
11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,439
Sounds fun.
What's new in Season 4?
12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,280
Well, with the Switch too, we
can finally dive into the
13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,800
geometric gem that is the
Nintendo GameCube.
14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,560
And that's not all.
Right, they're also adding the
15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,720
black sheep of the Nintendo
family, the infamous Virtual
16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,280
Boy.
Oh, my body is ready.
17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,800
Every episode Ioffer a deep dive
into gaming history, including
18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,040
fun facts from behind the scenes
and even game show style trivia
19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,080
segments.
Plus I use every modern
20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,360
convenience like safe States and
rewinding to roll credits on
21
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,320
every game.
Isn't that cheating?
22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,520
Oh, and I suppose you play
exactly like they did back in
23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,160
the 90s, handwritten passwords
and everything.
24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,920
Well, I also read the manuals,
it's not that hard.
25
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,200
Read the manuals.
Aren't you an English teacher?
26
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,920
We cover all the joy pros and
joy cons, ending each episode by
27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,160
ranking the games as either a
Nintendo or a Nintendo.
28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,000
