The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast ·

2023/08/22

“SOMETIMES HE HIDES IN MUD.” Our fourth Shinobi series podcast sees Joe Musashi come to the end of his 16-bit era with - after a faltering start - what some consider to be the franchise's coup de grace. Leon, Chris Worthington, Jon and returning guest Dan Clark - along with community contributors - tangle with NEO ZEED's even more mighty and evil forces in this all-action Mega Drive/Genesis

"People like you are the reason why we have middle fingers" Should we fear death or should we embrace it? Join Brian, Jon, Rich and Tom as they explore the existential meaning of Spiritfarer, the death-centric management sim by Thunderlotus.

“The Belmont family has a long history of Vampire Hunters.” In our latest Castlevania show we land At Konami's second attempt at bringing the full-fat horror platformer experience to handheld in Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge. Leon, Brian, Jon, Leah and listener contributors find a slightly yet significantly upgraded protagonist - and one who can now even use axes and holy water - in this assault on Dracula's real estate portfolio.

2023/07/25

“BRAVE FOR ENTER BOSOM” Treasure's 10th release was also its first out-and-out shmup, and what an impact it made. A niche title made in small numbers on an unpopular machine (in the West at least) that became a legendary game. Leon, Chris Worthington, James and Michiel each have a different history with Radiant Silvergun from 'back in the day' 25 years ago right up to recent encounters via the Xbox and Switch versions. Along with community contributions we dive deep into the design of this storied

"You found a shiny medallion!" Flicky, Agony, Alfred Chicken, Dynamite Dux, Untitled Goose Game. These are just some of the titles we think of when we try to recall videogames with avian protagonists. Manchester studio Acid Nerve added another feathered hero in 2021 with the release of its Zelda-esque Death's Door. Leon, Chris O'Regan, Sean and Tony - along with Cane and Rinse community contributors - dodge roll their way through this flightless corvid's musing on the impermanence of all

2023/07/11

“Shall we find something to kill to cheer ourselves up?” Star Wars plus BioWare RPG sounded like manna from heaven to many of us when it was announced in 2001. Happily, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - created by a number of the same folks who had worked on the likes of Baldur's Gate II and Neverwinter Nights, was greeted rapturously. Leon, Brian, Leah and Rich (who nominated this one as his personal selection for the year's podcasts) party up to save the galaxy from the Sith menace and

"You have died from dysentery." Well, not really, but one of your party members probably did. In this installment we cover the edutainment game The Oregon Trail. Join Brian, Jesse, Rich and Ryan as they head west on a wagon train and discuss what makes this game effective enough to warrant a 50 year history with over 25 different entries. Does this simulation of westward, colonial expansion hold up to the test of time? Listen in to find

“IT SEEMED AS IF THE WORLD HAD RETURNED TO PEACE…” The Cane and Rinse ninjas shimmy their way across Japan and the USA taking down IP-infringing baddies (Spider-Man, Batman, Rambo, The Terminator and even Godzilla) in their third Shinobi series podcast. Leon, Chris Worthington, Michiel and returning guest Ben Cartlidge (Video Wizards, One Credit Classics), run the gauntlet of SEGA's first 'designed for the home' entry into its 80s slide 'n dice franchise.

Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace – Cane and Rinse No.569

2023/06/20

“Lead on, adventurer. Your quest awaits!” Forty years ago our eyes were blown from their sockets as they witnessed what appeared to be Disney cartoon quality graphics arrive in the arcades. Of course, we soon found out that the reality of actually playing these LaserDisc games wasn't perhaps what we initially dreamed, yet still Rick Dyer and Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair (and to a lesser extent, sci-fi sequel Space Ace) would become legends in their own right.

“The fire still burns. Hope still burns.” Not such a long time after the sequel hit stores, we got the crew together to review Respawn's first movie franchise license game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Leon, Brian, James and Karl have all wanted to be Jedis (or possibly Sith) to some extent, so did this game allow them to live out their space fantasies? As you'd hope for such a recent and successful game, we also have plenty of posts from padawans strewn around the Cane and Rinse

2023/05/30

"Could I survive long enough to escape?" The Game Boy Advance game library featured many renowned Super Nintendo titles released on a handheld device for a newer and more portable generation. After the success of Metroid Fusion, Nintendo R&D1 opted not to port the beloved Super Metroid, choosing instead to return to 1987's Metroid from the Famicom and NES for inspiration. Not only with the aim of making the original title more accessible, Yoshio Sakamoto and his team also took the opportunity to

Unreal – Cane and Rinse No.565

2023/05/23

“The constant fighting between prisoners seems to be getting worse.” The game that gave its name to an industry-changing engine (or was it the engine that gave the game its name?): Unreal. Before it spun off into mainly multiplayer arenas, Unreal started life as another echelon-defining PC fps. Leon, Chris O'Regan and Jon - along with community contributions - remember the game's undeniable late 90s 'wow' factor (for those who had a PC capable of running it), as well as seeing how a 2023 replay

“Better run home to mama now.” Another long standing 'wrong' righted, as the Cane and Rinse podcast finally covers a SEGA made Fighting game. Leon, Michiel, returning guest Dan Clark and Karl - whose pick for the show this was - team up to recall the fever dream match that was Fighters Megamix. Along with community contributions, we get into just what makes a SEGA fighter, and just what is meant by the terms often associated with their Virtua Fighter titles, such as 'deep' and 'technical'.

"We're here to kill chaos." Square Enix's beloved Final Fantasy series collides with hardcore action gameplay from Team Ninja, the studio famous for Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden and Nioh. Do these two styles come together like peanut butter and jelly or clash like oil and water? Join the Warriors of Light, led by host Leah as she, Chris and Rich - along with community correspondents - discuss her pick for Volume 12, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin.

“The Force will be with you. Always.” For the first time in its 11 plus year history, Cane and Rinse covers a game based upon the popular space opera franchise, Star Wars. Leon, Chris Worthington, Tony and guest Dean Swain of The Retro Asylum podcast climb into the less than comfy X-Wing cockpit for a blast of Atari's 1983 vector graphics arcade smash. As usual the panel and community contributors attempt to sum up what made the experience so special 40 years ago, but also discuss which aspects of

Parodius series – Cane and Rinse No.561

2023/04/25

Our Michiel's pick for this year's Volume of shows is Konami's series of cute, comedy shmup capers, Parodius. Leon, Chris Worthington, Michiel (obviously), Ryan and community contributors debate pronunciations, contemplate nonsense and revel in the surreal ridiculousness of octopi, penguins and pigs taking on an interstellar armada of absurdity. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_561.mp3 Music featured in this issue:1.

The most epic Ryu ga Gotoku game yet gets its own, hefty discussion as Leon, Brian, Leah, Michiel and community correspondents tread the path of taciturn criminals with hearts of gold, as well as carving out a career for forthright and righteous young pop idol, Hakura. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_560.mp3 Music featured in this issue:1.

“Oh my… Who do we have here?” Another case of, "This game is how old already!?" as Guacamelee! turns 10 (ten). Leon, Brian, Leah, new contributor Sean Fletcher and community correspondents come together over Drinkbox's luchador-themed Metroidvania arcade adventure plus wrestling. As is the Cane and Rinse credo we discuss what we consider to be the game's success and shortcomings across all departments, from art and music through to gameplay.
