  • Backwards Compatible #47 - Wrestlemania The Arcade Game (Arcade, PS1, Genesis, SNES, 32X, Saturn, MS-DOS)
    2025/04/18

    This week, Lou and I jump off the top rope and into the wonderfully weird world of WrestleMania: The Arcade Game—Midway’s over-the-top, digitized brawler that mashed Mortal Kombat with the WWF’s New Generation Era.

    But that’s not all. This episode is a bit of a wrestling grab bag (hey, I’m still getting over a cold, cut me some slack!):

    🕹️ We review WrestleMania: The Arcade Game – Is it a legit classic or just a button-mashing curiosity?

    🎮 A quick look at WWF In Your House on PS1 – the weird, clearly inferior sequel you probably forgot existed.

    🤼 We also get into WrestleMania 41 hype, our thoughts on the New Generation Era of wrestling (hello neon and Lex Express!).

    It's chaotic, nostalgic, and full of bad Vince McMahon impressions.

  • Backwards Compatible #46 - Batman Forever (SNES, Genesis)
    2025/04/11

    Want a shout out on the show? Shoot us a text and share your thoughts, game suggestions, etc.!

    No ne content this week because I’m out sick (boo!), but instead of leaving your podcast feed empty, we’re opening up the Backwards Compatible Vault and bringing you a segment from a past episode where Lou and I dug deep into Batman Forever—both the movie and the video game.

    This one’s got it all:
    🦇 Over-the-top Jim Carrey energy
    🦇 Neon chaos and rubber suits
    🦇 The weird, clunky SNES/Genesis Batman Forever game that tried to be Mortal Kombat but… wasn’t
    🦇 Lou having THOUGHTS about Val Kilmer’s Bat-performance

    It’s a fun flashback to a chaotic era of movie tie-ins, and a nice little slice of our podcast history. Thanks for bearing with us this week, and fingers crossed I’m back in full Bat-health for episode 47!

  • Backwards Compatible #45 - Everything You Need to know about the Nintendo Switch 2
    2025/04/04

    Want a shout out on the show? Shoot us a text and share your thoughts, game suggestions, etc.!

    Nintendo has finally lifted the curtain on the Switch 2, and Lou and I are diving deep into all the details. From preorder requirements (Nintendo is really making sure you’re a real fan this time) to hardware specs, launch titles, and some eyebrow-raising first-party game prices, there’s a lot to unpack.

    We break down the best and worst parts of the Switch 2 reveal, including:
    🎮 Loyalty-based preorders – You’ll need a year of Nintendo Switch Online and 50+ hours of playtime just to get in line.
    🎮 New features like GameShare & GameChat – Are these actually useful, or just Nintendo playing catch-up?
    🎮 GameCube classics returningF-Zero GX, Wind Waker, and Soul Calibur 2 with Link are finally coming back!
    🎮 That $80 price tag for Mario Kart World – Is Nintendo testing the waters for higher-priced games?
    🎮 4K docked mode, 120 FPS handheld play, and magnetic Joy-Cons – A true next-gen leap?

    With a stacked launch lineup and some surprising third-party support (Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition on a Nintendo console?!), this could be Nintendo’s most ambitious console yet. But are there red flags? Tune in as we break it all down!
