We take it to the streets of Tokyo this episode! Special guest Kaori joins me as we talk about the Street Fighter 35th anniversary exhibit in Shibuya. We discuss iconic Street Fighter art, the power of Chun Li, and proper hadoken techniques. I’ve wrapped up Pokemon Legends Arceus, so now’s the time to wildly speculate about future Pokemon Legends games. If you’re more of a pixel person, I also dig deep into the classic Card Fighters Clash and the incredibly addictive Retro Bowl. On the news front, there’s a lot of fighting games and eShop talk, so get those wallets ready!
