Ultra 64: Recent Episodes
None
It’s a bowling triple feature, and we’re thrilled for two reason: firstly, it means we get to check in with our sports desk correspondant Nicole Vettese! And secondly, it means we never have to talk about bowling games again! The games this week run the gamut, from blandly inoffensive to actively awful, but hey, we had a good time talking about it.

Next week’s episode: Extreme G/Extreme G 2
This week, we perform a fatality on the ill-fated Mortal Kombat spinoff, featuring everyone’s favorite palate-swapped ninja, Sub-Zero. If the vicious enemies don’t get you, then the horrible controls and terrible game design will. Plus, we dig in on the only other attempt at a stand-alone Mortal Kombat story, and we learn about Woody’s sordid past as an MK content creator.

This week we strive for Olympic glory, but the infuriatingly mediocre NAGANO WINTER OLYMPICS 98 fights us at every turn.

Also, we briefly explore the blatant scam that is OLYMPIC HOCKEY NAGANO 98.

On this week’s episode, Steve and Woody are joined by their three special guests to wallow in the fun and agonizing frustration of party game OG Mario Party. Is it as good as you remember it? Or will those quirky design choices undo all your progress at the last minute by giving out a bunch of random stars and completely shifting the balance of the game? Featuring Rosie Crow, Dan Reese, Nicole Vettese, and two annoying pets who crash the recording.

On this week’s episode, Steve and Woody square off on the big square in the forgotten brawler “Fighters Destiny” and it’s “s”-less sequel, “Fighter Desinty 2.” Is the game’s point-based fighting system a nifty novelty or an iffy design choice? Only one way to find out!
