Remasters, Remakes, Reboots, and Reimaginings... oh my!

Ryan and James sit down at the campfire for the third episode and discuss The Four Horsemen of "RE" type titles; What defines each of them, personal favorites, and teeter on the line of rebranding into a Resident Evil podcast. James has a very normal and calm reaction to Shigeru Miyamoto helping announce the shadow-dropped Star Fox 2026 Direct, and puts his detective skills to the test in a rapid-fire quiz of determining what "RE" title is being described from the back of the box.

What actually makes a "comfort game" a comfort game?

This week around the campfire, Ryan and James talk about the games they can replay endlessly - from Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4 to Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and even weird modded randomizers. Along the way, they dive into nostalgia, replayability, developer intent, childhood memories, and why some games just feel like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket after a long day.

Also: James desperately tries to convince Ryan to finally play Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
