Episode 931: F-Zero GuiX – Radio Free Nintendo

So, hey, what does the “G” stand for? No clue. But we’re diving headfirst into this backlog thing. James isn’t around town this week, which — surprise, surprise — means Jon gets to play the dignified host. Which, let’s be real, just screams professionalism. Or maybe not. Who knows?

We kicked it off by wading back into Jon’s wild GameStop adventure. It’s like he wanders into GameStop and boom — “Pro Memberships” are suddenly a thing. Feels like I’m gonna need a map to navigate this. Then, we swapped stories about old games in a new skin — dreaming of those Switch 2 upgrades. Could be genius or totally nuts.

Hit the pause button — wait, nope, let’s skip ahead. We tried to wrap our heads around the full-on chaos that is F-Zero GX. Who needs meditation when you have punishment like that, right? And what’s with Nintendo and their virtual console vibes? Like, are they ever dropping new games there? I mean, one can dream. And Princess Peach? Modernize her game or — oof, do we even dare? — revamp the whole series. My brain’s spinning.

Oh! And a pro tip (or joke, you decide), “Git Gud” turns out to be more like “Git Gui’d.” Seriously, learn the tracks, ya bunch of newbies!

This episode? Hats off to Guillaume Veillette for piecing it all together. And if the “Men of Leisure” theme tickles your fancy, that’s Perry Burkum’s masterpiece, tailor-made for Radio Free Nintendo. Check him out over on SoundCloud. Logo creds? Connor Strickland’s your guy. His world awaits at his website.

Closing this crazy ride with “Birdman” from Pilotwings 64 — yep, you can thank Greg for picking that nostalgic nugget. Kudos to Nintendo Co., Ltd. for the memories.
