    Another day, another Kong here on the Switch 2 The Past as Mike & Neil once again dive into Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2! There simply wasn’t enough hours in the day to cover these two fantastic games in one episode. Friend of the show Cam @cpawx joins the show to talk about some of his favourite memories of the games, including his mom absolutely fooling him on Christmas morning and his wind level trauma. Big question though, can Cam identify the level just based on the iconic soundtrack? Listen till the end to find out!

    It’s DK time here at the Switch 2 The Past as Mike & Neil celebrate all things Kong-like in this part 1 of 2 episodes all about the big ape himself.

And yes, the unbelievable David Wise score is discussed at length so stick around and you just may hear some Stickerbush Symphony sprinkled in.

    In their third release of their second generation, Pokemon decided to go for it and made a game that pioneers nearly everything we know and love about the series today. Animated sprites, battle towers, and YES you can play as a girl. Despite being the lowest selling mainline Pokemon game it’s become known as one of the greatest and also one of the most valuable on the market. Friend of the show Ramon joins the show to discuss his memories of Crystal, how he lost his save file (RIP), and his disdain for the babies of this gen. Join the boys this week and as they try to catch em all!
