WELCOME TO THE STAGE OF HISTORY. It’s time to talk about the GameCube virtual console and the three “launch” games so to speak, starting the trilogy with Soul Calibur II, a game Mike & Neil covered over 4 years ago and now get to look at with fresh eyes. Friend of the show Luigi (@luigisappartmen) joins the episode to dive into the world of Link, the Soul Edge, and the unique relationship Nintendo and Namco had in the early 2000s that made this nearly unthinkable inclusion happen.

Another day, another Kong here on the Switch 2 The Past as Mike & Neil once again dive into Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2! There simply wasn’t enough hours in the day to cover these two fantastic games in one episode. Friend of the show Cam @cpawx joins the show to talk about some of his favourite memories of the games, including his mom absolutely fooling him on Christmas morning and his wind level trauma. Big question though, can Cam identify the level just based on the iconic soundtrack? Listen till the end to find out!
