Did you like this episode's game selections? Let your fellow listeners know in TalkBack! Think you've got a better choice? Then send it my way and your request might be on the next episode of Radio Trivia: Podcast Edition!  Heck, throw in a question and specific songs if you want.  Just remember, it has to be a game found on a Nintendo system in North America (unless we say otherwise)!

Phenomenal podcast guys.  Thanks again.  Only got the 3rd game, since it's the only one I've actually played.  Very nice to hear some songs for games I have not played.  The discussion always makes me want to get them.

Radio Trivia Podcast is always a fun listen, but can feel hit-or-miss depending on how many of the games I've actually played before.  This was a great episode though, as I have experience with 3/5 games -- in fact, playing through game #4 right now and completely enjoying myself.


As always: thanks for the great work!

Woah! This is already out! Nice!

I'm glad people are enjoying the selection.

Zach Miller already chastised me for mistakingly saying Shantae was on GBA (not a spoiler!). Oops. It was late when we recorded! I meant the DSiware game, of course.

Thank you virtual console!  I got 2 and 4 because I played through both over this summer on VC.  I found game #2 very frustrating though.  While pretty to look at and the music is really nice, I found the physics of the character control to be really annoying.  On the other hand, #4 was a wonderful game throughout with really nice music for a Genesis game.
I got hooked on the white stuff back in the 70s.

Also, Shantae (as a character) is not at all sexist. She's not bad--she's just drawn that way!

Seriously, though, hearing Guillaume make the comparison between...the game he compared it to...and Shantae really makes me want to try...the game he compared it to.
This would be my PSN Trophy Card, but I guess I can't post HTML in my Signature. I'm the pixel spaceship, and I have nine Gold trophies.

You really should play...the game he compared it to, it's an awesome little game.

I had this playing while grinding in Dragon Quest VI for DS. 
Loved the show and the details you guys gave.



I got 0 correct.   :'(

But I like some of the songs!
Thank you for the show.
