S3E11: Clu Clu Land, Mario's Picross and Super Picross -or- Steganographic Imagery Viewer Discretion Advised

Andrew Linde from “Nothing New: A Remake Podcast” uncovers hard truths about Clu Clu Land (NES, 1985), Mario’s Picross (Game Boy, 1995), and Mario’s Super Picross (SNES, 1995) as he joins Mike & Jaymo on The Old SwitchAroo’s epic quest to research and review every retro game in Nintendo Switch Online’s Nintendo Classics catalog!

In this revealing episode, we discuss how Animal Crossing helped expose a new generation to retro titles, how Bubbles the balloonfish made waves as a female protagonist before the likes of Lara Croft and Samus Aran, why Mario’s Super Picross had to clear a Tetris, and our picks for the greatest movie remakes of all time. Plus, Mike & Andrew go head to head in our hilarious Pictionary-esque Mini-Game Minute: A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Squares!

Thanks for listening, and a very special thanks to Kristal Fields of The Lazy Circles for our catchy new theme song!
