Smashing Into Donkey Kong Bananza | The Gamerheads Podcast

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1348237/open_sms]

 This week on The Gamerheads Podcast, Roger, Trina, Zeb, and Asa ask the big question: are we drowning in too many good games? From growing backlogs to the challenges of reviewing while still trying to game for fun, the crew explores how the abundance of quality games impacts players, reviewers, and even indie devs trying to break through. Plus, we spotlight upcoming releases, what we’re playing right now—including Mecha BREAK, Warframe, Blueprints, and Missile Command Delta—and reveal which Nintendo classics Zeb has somehow never played (prepare to gasp).

This week on The Gamerheads Podcast, we welcome back Dave Proctor, director at Mighty Yell, to talk about their latest title: Missile Command Delta.

Dave also shares what it was like partnering with 13AM Games, designing puzzles, and building the narrative. Plus, we get into the challenges (and fun) of reimagining a classic arcade game for a whole new audience.
