Great games blog

The eternally excellent Retronauts podcast returned last week for a Mario-centric episode. In our opinion, Retronauts is the best retrogaming podcast on the Internet (the best podcast on the Internet? Maybe!), and is rarely worth missing. The panel in this episode is especially great, as it consists entirely of snarky, animated people who happen to know everything about games, ever. Of course, the availability of Super Mario Bros. 3 on the VC and the upcoming release of Galaxy have us all in a Mario mood, so we can all enjoy this episode even more (if we can hear it over our own hyperventilating, a symptom of Mario Madness).

If that's not enough Jeremy-Parish-talking-about-Mario, check out the latest 1UP Show video (easily accessible at the top of this very post), which features, in addition to Super Mario Galaxy video footage and a ton of discussion, a brief West Side Story-esque musical interlude from Parish about receiving the game in the mail.

When our own JC Fletcher isn't lamenting games not yet on the Virtual Console, we hire him out for guest spots on podcasts. We like to keep him busy, you know? He recently sat down with the folks at Aeropause for some Wii and DS chatter, and since we not only like JC, but we like podcasts, we thought it best to recommend the fusion of both to you, our faithful readers. So if you like Okami (who doesn't?), random chatter about Stretch Panic as a possible Wii port (yes, please), E for All, and more gaming goodness -- including JC's glowing recommendation of the DS title Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck, head over and lend them your ear.

And if you have a podcast, JC is available for the low price of free. Just expect at least three references to old games; it's how he rolls.
