768: Mother 3
For over a decade, its release seemed like an impossibility, but 20 years ago, Mother 3 entered our world—and then proceeded to never leave Japan. While it superficially resembles the earlier Mother games, this long-awaited sequel differs greatly in tone and structure, yet somehow delivers a satisfying (if surprising) final installment of Shigesato Itoi's beloved RPG series. On this episode, join Bob Mackey, Reid Young, Charlie Verdin, and Everdraed (all of Fangamer ) as the crew turn off their Happy-Happy Boxes and sit down to discuss the Game Boy Advance game that gives new meaning to the…

798: Resident Evil (2026)
After 24 years of disappointment, it finally happened: they made a great Resident Evil movie—which also happens to be a great regular movie. Yes, thanks to abandoning any notion of lore and tapping into the creative talents of director Zach Cregger, this latest adaptation of Capcom's survival horror series manages to evoke the spirit of the games, even if it lacks the iconic characters and monsters. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Stuart Gipp and Jess O'Brien (AKA Voidburger ) as the crew searches the now-snowy streets of Raccoon City in search of survivors and fatherhood…
