S3E02: Mario Party -or- Mad About Mini-Games!

Sarah and Kyle Ford from Stream Team party down with Instagram’s Jaclynfrances in the hit party game that birthed a franchise: Mario Party on the Nintendo 64. Mike and Jaymo’s epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog has never been more wild!

In this raucous episode, we kick off the first annual Blooper Games! Play along with a series of wacky mini-games as our guest hosts attempt to match their auras with retro title screens, test their memory of behind-the-scenes trivia, and try to name as many Mario characters as they can before the clock runs out. We dive deep into Bowser’s closeted political affiliations, test the ethical boundaries of AI servitude, and litigate the controversial court case that rubbed Nintendo fans the wrong way…

Thanks for listening, and a very special thanks to Kristal Fields of The Lazy Circles for our catchy theme song! Subscribe to The Old SwitchAroo to get more retro goodness delivered straight to your feed!
