After The credits you get a bonus. When you start a new game and enter "FIREBALL" as your name, you will get all the cards for the DSS system right from the start. Any other bonus rewards?

Finally #hitexploded Castlevania Circle of the Moon. The start was slow, I kept going all over trying to progress. Once I understood that I got special abilities after defeating each boss, it was smooth sailing. Well worth the play.

Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship with William Morgan (The Geek Gauntlet Podcast)

Every kid who ever begged a parent for money to hit GameStop on release day understands the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship series in their bones: it’s the same card game, sold back to you once a year, wearing a slightly fancier hat each time. Konami ran this bit from 2003 to 2006 with the discipline of a Swiss watchmaker and the restraint of absolutely nobody when it came to naming the things. Four games! Four years! Somehow four completely different amounts of the word “World Championship” crammed into each title!

And somewhere in that run, things got weird. By the last entry, Konami had apparently decided Yugi, Kaiba, and the rest of the cast had done enough work, and quietly let you duel the actual monster cards instead, like the whole show got replaced by its own trading cards in some kind of legal dispute. There’s also a tiny RPG town nobody asked for, a cartridge somehow refereeing six languages at once, and just enough real cardboard cards taped inside the box that there’s a real argument the packaging outsold the game.

Grabbing a seat at the table to help me sort genuine dueling nostalgia from pure cardboard-fueled compulsion is William Morgan, host of The Geek Gauntlet Podcast, self-billed as the fastest hour in podcasting, a claim that tracks given how fast he and the crew burn through a week’s worth of comics, movies, anime, and gaming news.

So keep an eye on your Life Points, don’t forget your face-downs, and let’s find out if the World Championship series was Konami’s finest run of Game Boy dueling, or just years of very well-packaged déjà vu.

Learn such things as:

• Why do I think this is so weird but yearly sports games aren’t?
• How far back into a game’s ruleset can you go if you weren’t there when it was current?
• Who bought the game for the game, and who bought it just for the included card?
• And so much more!

This Game Boy Advance clone is a cheap Android handheld from AYANEO

The AYANEO KONKR Pocket Advance is a handheld game console with a design that’s heavily inspired by Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance, potentially making it a good fit for playing classic games designed for that console. But the AYANEO version is a modern device with a 3.5 inch, 960 x 640 pixel display, MediaTek Helio G90T processor, and Android-based operating system.

It’s available for pre-order […]

AYANEO KONKR Pocket Advance is a Game Boy Advance clone with a 3.5 inch, 960 x 640px 3:2 LCD display, a headphone jack, microSD card reader, USB 2.0 Type-C, and WiFi 5 and BT 5.0. Processor, memory, and price haven't been announced yet. https://ayaneo.com/article/944 #AYANEO #AYANEOKONKRPocketAdvance #HandheldGameConsole #GBA #GameBoyAdvance

Can anyone tell me how that works. I can’t connect from the Analogue Pocket Game (ROM) to my GBA to send my E-Cards to Super Mario 3.

Am I holding it wrong or did I buy the wrong cable?

Catwoman (2004) With Billy (CommanderCast)

This time on Play Comics, we’re sneaking into the glittery, CGI-filled vault of early-2000s tie-in games and asking the question nobody demanded an answer to: “What if Catwoman, but make it even more 2004?” Between the leather, the eyeliner, and the wall-running, we’re checking out the Catwoman movie game that clawed its way onto GameCube, Xbox, PS2, and Game Boy Advance. It’s the kind of experience that feels like someone motion-captured an energy drink and then gave it a whip.

To help make sense of this pixelated fever dream, Chris is joined by frequent guest Billy from his real life friend group, because if you’re going to suffer through mid-2000s licensed game nonsense, you should at least do it with someone who can confirm you’re not hallucinating. Together they dive into the bizarre elegance of magically convenient scaffolding, combat that thinks “pressing one button a lot” is a personality trait, and a story that remembers it’s based on a movie just often enough to be legally distinct from fun. Expect more cat puns per minute than the ESRB ever intended.

So dust off your flip phone, crank up your nu-metal playlist, and prepare to swing through a world where glass windows are just suggestions and gravity is more of a guideline. Is this game an underrated gem, a misunderstood experiment, or the digital equivalent of stepping on a LEGO in high heels? Tune in to find out how this cinematic catastrophe translated to four different systems, and whether any of them managed to land on their feet.

Learn such things as:

• Can we really hold the story of this game against it (for the purposes of this podcast anyway) when it was just following the movie plot lines?
• Since when is the handheld version allowed to be the best one?
• Did we miss all of those jumps and grabs because some cat in the greater universe was pushing our character off the ledge?
• And so much more!

You can find Billy’s writing nowhere because Commandercast seems to be dead. But if it’s not then someone tell me and I’ll switch this up.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance with Perry Constantine (Superhero Cinephiles, Japan on Film)

This week on play comics we ask ourselves what happens if you you can’t decide what you want to make a game about. Should you just give up? Should you really dig into your soul and decide what you’re super passionate about? Should you look and see if there’s any other related media coming out that you can tie this game into? Or should you act like you’re at the end of five different boxes of sugary cereal and justice dump the mall into a single bowl and see what happens?

There’s certainly one thing that I made my mind up about this one, and that’s how Perry Constantine from Superhero Cinephiles and Japan on Film needed to come by and help me make sure that I kept everything straight here. And it’s a good thing too because with more playable character than I want to count spread out across 7 consoles upon release and a few more as back catalogs were taken advantage of it would have been really easy to miss something here.

So was there an actual story for this game? Or was it just a giant excuse to squeeze in as many tidbits as they could so the other kids would think they’re cool? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Learn such things as:

• Is it possible to have too many characters to pick from?
• What happens when there’s an actually good original story?
• Are there any deep cuts that didn’t make it into this one?
• And so much more!

You can find Perry on Bluesky @percivalconstantine.com, Threads @perconstantine,  catch some of his writing on Sub Stack or Patreon, or his own podcasts Superhero Cinephiles and Japan on Film,

Popeye Rush for Spinach with Ryan Estrada

Grab your canned vegetables and your questionable licensed tie-ins, because this week on Play Comics we’re diving headfirst into Popeye: Rush for Spinach on the Game Boy Advance—the game that looked at a classic comic strip about a gruff sailor punching his problems and said, “Actually, what if everyone just… ran a lot instead?” This is a world where the Sea Hag steals the global spinach supply, the solution is apparently time-traveling track meets, and Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto, and Wimpy all agree that the best way to settle things is to sprint through history like someone off-screen yelled “last one there buys lunch.”

Helping us untangle this leafy green disaster is the wonderful Ryan Estrada from the comic-making side of the internet, a man who knows exactly what it looks like when characters escape the page and do something absolutely no one asked them to do. Ryan’s here to help figure out how a comic icon who started life in newspaper strips, got famous selling spinach, and spent decades punching sea monsters somehow wound up in a handheld racing game that feels like it was brainstormed during a very strange lunch break.

So power up that tiny GBA screen, flex those forearms, and get ready for an episode that’s equal parts comic history lesson, adaptation autopsy, and incredulous laughter at the phrase “Popeye racing game.”

Learn such things as:

• Were our parents lying to us about spinach all these years?
• What’s the point of dropping plot threads if you never plan on picking them up?
• Will somebody just bring me a cheeseburger already?
• And so much more!

You can find everything you could ever want to know about Ryan on RyanEstrada.com. Let’s see if anyone can pick out my favorite part. I’ll give you a hint, it’s on the home page.
