Episode 162

Game design is challenging, doubly so when designing a game for both casual and competitive play. Today, we discuss games that balance both competitive and casual play, our experiences with competitive games, and how we think the player bases of these games impact design decisions. We also give our thoughts on the newly released Hellblade II, and what its release could mean for Microsoft and Ninja Theory. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Monster Hunter World: Iceborne).

OCTOPLUSH - SMOKE AND MIRRORS [DEDF1SH + YOUVIZION! REMIX]

A chill mashed-up beat of the "Main Menu" and "Game Clear" themes of Super Smash Bros. 64, with a hodgepodge of martial SFX.

The Interim Denouement of Magnanimous Mix Master Hand | A "Game Clear" Beat from Smash Bros. 64

THE INVASION HAS BEGUN!!! But in other news, this is a mashup of samples and sounds from Smash Bros. 64 ("Fighting Polygons Fight"), Smash Bros. Melee ("Multi Man Melee"), and the Propellerheads' techno-crazy "Bang On!" and "Spybreak" jams.

P0lyg0nn3r | A "Fighting Polygons Fight" Beat from Super Smash Bros. 64

Mix Master Hand has entered the fray! And he's dishin' out a mix of his Smash 64 theme "Master Hand Fight" and "The Rhythm" by Timmy Tutone, peppered with SFX from his own magnanimous be-glove-d hand.

MAGISTERMANVS I | A "Master Hand Fight" Beat from Super Smash Bros. 64

He's back to attack, the Master Hand himself - now with a mix of SSBM's "Final Destination", SSBB's "Main Theme", and the wonderfully scratchy "39%" from the artist Zenless Zone Zero. How will Crazy respond?

MAGISTERMANVS II | A "Final Destination" Beat from Super Smash Bros. Melee

It's Crazy's final bout - does he have enough strength to finally shut Master Hand up? Get energized with this insane mashup of "Final Destination" from SSBB and "Battle Theme (Evil Power)" from DBZ Budokai 3. It's decision time...

Redwood Daily Bulletin - August 21, 2023

Hit the gym, it's time to start your training. This driving, guitar-laden beat is a passion-fueled mashup of samples from the "Practice", "Training Mode", and "How to Play" themes of SSB64/SSBM and "Blazing Outsiders" from DBZ Budokai 3, as well as snippets and scratches from "Salami Fever" (Pepe Deluxe) and "Pack Up Remix" (Lyrics Born feat. Evidence & KRS-One). I'm sweating already.
