Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars Review
What do you get when one of the best RPG game developers in the world decides to make an RPG starring the most recognizable video game character in history? What you get is one of the most acclaimed video games to have ever worn Super Mario’s name. This week we sit down to discuss Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, an adventure/role-playing title created by Squaresoft, most known at the time for SNES RPGs like Final Fantasy III and Chrono Trigger. Before that, we discuss Super Mario Maker, amiibo, and the possibility of Nintendo moving on to the movie business. All this and more.

NXpress #18: Tembo the Badass Elephant and our Mortal Kombat special

The smash hit Mortal Kombat was everywhere in the early ’90s. Created by Ed Boon and John Tobias, the game was on every system, in every arcade, and sparking controversy with its levels of bloody violence. The Fatalities, in part, led to the creation of the ESRB video game rating system and ever since its release, the gaming industry just hasn’t been the same. This week, we take a look back at both the game and the big screen Hollywood adaptation. First, however, is our main event, in which we discuss Tembo the Badass Elephant. Developed by Game Freak — and published by Sega, Tembo draws on the DNA of Sega’s classic 2D platforming franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog. We’ll let you know if we like it or not. Joining us is guest Quentin Danglade from the FTW Gaming podcast.
