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)!

Game 2 is my 2008 GOTY, which makes me wonder if a game can win GOTY twice. Still, that was an epic trolling move, TYP.

I did end up grinding a bit but mainly for Tech points about halfway through on an enemy that doesn't give EXP. Having Luminare for Giga Gaia is always fun.

1. I got the game on the first song, but I missed the question because I was thinking of the wrong minigame (there are several).
2. I didn't get this until the question (I read in a Wiki that there was a weapon that always did 777 damage). By the way, I believe Marle's name is pronounced "Mar-lee". At least, I've always pronounced it that way. Then again, maybe she's pretending to be French and it's supposed to be pronounced "Mar-lay".  ;)

2. The French pronunciation of "Marle" would be as I said it on the show (one syllable). I have no idea if that's what the creators intended, but the name always looked French to me, so that's how I say it.

Ha! I got Game 2 only because I'm currently playing through it (for the first time)!

Man, I went 0 for 5 again. I even missed game 4, which I played quite a bit of and even liked the soundtrack a bit. Oh well, I still enjoyed the tunes and the occasional blows that TYP and Jonny took at each other.  ;D

I got 3 of 5! A new record, probably.

1. Humorously enough, I've never seen that mini-game in Galactic Pinball. I played it enough to remember the music, but it was the last Virtual Boy game I bought over the summer.
2. Had a sneaking suspicion after the first track, and then I figured out TYP's ruse of using the DS version. I was wondering why the music seemed familiar in style but not that familiar...
4. The weird-as-hell music gave it away for me. I have played very little of this, and my guess of the sequel was fortunate.

First time listener to Radio Trivia...  definitely a fun change of pace from the usual talking heads bit.

Man, was I excited about Game #1.  I thought it sounded familiar after the first selection, but then once the second track kicked in I knew it.  Have been playing this recently after I scored the necessary hardware over the summer.  Love the music and, almost surprisingly, the deeper-than-expected gameplay.  Each time I play it I notice a little nuance that I haven't yet seen.  Definitely one to own if you have the equipment, so to speak.

Good choice, TYP, if I may be so bold as to call you that.

This episode was just plain dastardly! I fell for the same trap with game 2....
