The Podcats: 42 minutes of Nintendo 64

I talk about the Nintendo 64. Why? Why not?

What I like about these trips into the past is that George includes some interesting tidbits as he discusses his games. I liked the info about the practices of the pawn shop, the debris that gets on cartridge connectors, and the influence of Super Mario 64. I’m curious about these Duke Nukem games, and about Rayman 2 now, though I doubt I’ll be able to find them anywhere. Interesting, informative stuff.

Rayman 2 in particular is one of the best 3D platformers ever. There’s a PS2 version and I believe you can get the PSOne version on PSN for PS3 or PSP

I read some reviews of Rayman 2 for the PS1. Sadly, they said that the PS1 version is pretty badly reduced when compared to the N64 and Dreamcast versions. Still, I’ll keep my eyes out for a Dreamcast version somewhere.
