Joined by Daemon Hatfield, host of IGN’s Gamescoop, our heroes reflect on Mario’s first major foray into the 3D gaming, and the moment where he finally found his voice. How did Nintendo triple-jump over everybody’s expectations and nail it on their first try? Why aren’t there more 3D platforming games? What else is there to say about one of the most important video games of all time? Hopefully we figured out something, cause this thing’s almost an hour. Spoilers: We did.

Michael likes story-driven games with lots of contemplative moral quandaries and inventory management. Adam likes action-driven FPS games with gorgeous graphics and no down-time. Together, their friendship is constantly on the verge of ruin! But you can watch it all crumble before your very ears on 1Upsmanship, the pod where two lifelong gamers run one game an episode through the crucible to determine if it belongs on the Celestial Hard Drive. GAME ON.
