115: An Even Better Ben Wallace

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got the trio back in the studio again and we're getting things started with the 'go-to' games that John & Randall have been firing up lately before we get into the meat of the episode...

From there, Kevin and Randall play a little tug-of-war when discussing Mario's first couple of romps on Nintendo's monochrome handheld—how much does nostalgia play into the enjoyment of these Game Boy classics?

After that, Randall crosses off his resolution game from last year's holiday episode, as he moves on from Ori and the Blind Forest over to its sequel, Will of the Wisps.

Finally, we stick around in metroidvania-land and discuss Samus' latest adventure on Nintendo Switch, Metroid: Dread, which we've all been digging into...
