This is such an odd box art choice, as it discards the branding from the arcade original.

I know nothing about this game, but Karate Blazers is a quality beat 'em up name.
1991 scrolling beat em up Karate Blazers by Video System is this weeks Arcade Archives release

The game usually has a crazed amount of enemies on screen at any given time

If I was Jeoff Keighley, I'd be paying attention to this thread.
Better ideas for video game award categories:
- best original game that’s not a sequel or part of an existing series
- best new fighting game character
- best voice performance of grunts/barks/non-dialogue
- best game with no MTX
- best patch/update to a live-service game
- best bang for your buck

BREAKING: My wife and daughter are not enamoured with any variant on "Left Paddle", including "Elpie", "Lefty", and "Paddy".

I'm calling my wife's judgment into question here, and her stance on the kitten's name is exhibit B.

(Exhibit A is that she continues to remain married to me.)
My daughter and I are in a heated discussion over what to name this kitten. And if you've paid attention to my show, you know that I name cats after video game characters.

I want to name it Left Paddle, after the intrepid protagonist of Pong.

This. So hard. Absolutely this. Star Wars is too big of a galaxy to just be space wizard samurai.
107. There should be a new anthology of Star Wars short stories like Tales from the Cantina or From a Certain Point of View every year. Tales from Jabba’s Palace is arguably more responsible for making me a Star Wars Guy than the movies.

5. The opening two episodes of the NPR Star Wars audio drama set before the actual movie starts should be required listening for any Original Trilogy fan

This, but Magic the Gathering instead of the Gundam Card Game.
when i win at the gundam card game it’s because i’m a tactical genius that believes in the heart of the cards. when i lose it’s because the meta has become untenable and will doom the game long-term if every card in my opponent’s deck isn’t banned. also luck. and i’m NOT crying

The conversation on this episode reminds me about how late 90s/early 2000s game reviews often mentioned a game's framerate as an indicator of its quality. It might have played like ass, but if the game ran at a rock solid 60fps, it was a GOTY candidate.

Genre is subjective, and I have mixed feelings about the Game Awards, but this makes a really good point.

Somehow, Kyo manages to look cool, even in LCD pixels. This is some quality sprite work.
