Episode 931: F-Zero GuiX – Radio Free Nintendo

Actually, before I start—did you think about why the G in GMail just sticks, like a weird itch? Anyway, off I go. So, look, it’s an email frenzy right now, catching up on all the stuff that’s been piling up. James? Yeah, he’s out—probably off doing something more or less dignified—leaving Jon to captain this ship with his usual… uh, charm and chaos. You know, the way he always manages to bring that oddly endearing flair to hosting.

Anyway, oh right! Jon’s epic tale of bravely facing GameStop—it’s worth a listen, seriously. His adventures with that Pro Membership thing—classic. He’s got more stories from the retail frontier than anyone. We’re tossing around ideas for older games getting a facelift for Switch 2—because, honestly, wouldn’t that be cool?

Post-espresso break, we dive into the emotional rollercoaster that is F-Zero GX. The agony and the ecstasy, am I right? Oh, and what’s up with Nintendo—are they dropping any new virtual console gems? Plus, imagine a fresh Princess Peach adventure… one like none before. Can’t lie, Peach needs her moment.

And then, here’s where it gets real: Git Gud? Nah, change it to Git Gui’d. It’s about knowing your tracks, folks, not just surviving. Maybe I’m overthinking, but there it is.

Shoutout to Guillaume Veillette, the editing wizard behind this magic. Perry Burkum gets props for that “Men of Leisure” vibe—it’s like auditory comfort food. Connor Strickland? Dude’s the creative genius behind our logo. His work? Chef’s kiss. Check him out sometime—if you remember.

And wrapping it all up with a tune: "Birdman" from Pilotwings 64. Greg’s pick. Pretty much the perfect postcard to end this ride, right? Nintendo owns the rights, of course, so let’s not get ideas.
