Super Nintendads Entertainment Podcast

Before we hit 100, we go back to Episode Zero, the promise we made, the show we became, and the chaos in between. We break down classic console launch lineups to see if they lived up to the hype, and ask the same of ourselves. Are we Super Mario World… or just Luigi’s Mansion, wandering in the dark? Also: Italy has pizza detectives, Tails might be running a Ponzi scheme, Mike Lindell is bundling swords with pillows, and a man breaks his arm tripping over his own junk. And in Dear Todd, a woman complains that her son’s girlfriend leaves underwear on the floor… and worse, exists.Be sure to listen, subscribe, and follow our adventures on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@supernintendads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

With Marc Rodriguez and @KEVBO Mike and Todd kick things off with a Home Alone-inspired cold open before diving into 1994 gaming nostalgia, Super Metroid upgrades, Chris Hansen clips, and hot dog anthropomorphism. All four Dads debate 2024’s top games, from heavyweights like Astro Bot to, of course, the more obscure Nintendad picks. The crew revisits hilarious strip mall concepts from four years of the show with Kevbo and tackles a “Dear Todd” on family dynamics just in time for the holidays. 🎮🎄

In this continuation of our “All-Time Favorite Games” series (see Episode 046 for Super Mario World!), we dive into the grunge-era brilliance of Super Metroid. Gabe rates the 1994 classic against other retro titles he has played for the show, while we explore its modern gaming influence, iconic Brinstar theme, and fascinating trivia—including near cancellations and Samus’ almost risqué death scene. Inspired by the game’s tension, we bring back “Escape the Show,” alongside Gabe and Charlie’s hilarious new suit upgrades (spaghetti grappling hook, anyone?). A celebration of fear, isolation, and angsty brilliance, Super Metroid remains a timeless legend. Be sure to listen, subscribe, and follow our adventures on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠@supernintendads⁠⁠⁠⁠.
