[PREVIEW] Watch Out For Fireballs 523: Super Mario Bros. Wonder
But what if Mario were... surreal? Going back to the original design intentions of the Super Mario Bros., Nintendo delivers a game where Mario gets... a little weird. The only downside is that these little shits talk too much.

Watch Out For Fireballs 522: Parodius
Specifically, Parodius! From Myth to Laughter. We've been itching to revisit the Schmup genre and this seemed like a perfect fit. Originally a parody of Gradius, it really just proves that Schmups are really easy to just think about the game in terms of a wireframe.

Watch Out For Fireballs 521: Grunn
If it looks like a horror game and quacks like a horror game, it's probably a horror game. Disguising itself (slightly) as a cozy simulator, Grunn is a gardening time loop game about solving micro mysteries in the Dutch countryside. It's neat! It's snack!

Watch Out For Fireballs 520: Neon White
They're called neons, sinners plugged from hell to do God's dirty work. But it's hard to believe they're in heaven. Old friends, ex lovers... only one of them can stay in heaven and White has a score to settle.Producer Gwen joins Kaye to discuss this speed-run focused platforming/visual novel hybrid. We like it! With some caveats.

Watch Out For Fireballs 518: Loop Hero
You make your decision to listen a podcast, you listen while you do not move, you die. You make another decision to listen to a different episode. Yet again, you do not move. You die. But at least you have a few of the meta resources you need to live a little bit longer. This is kind of what playing Loop Hero is like.

Watch Out For Fireballs 517: Arcade Special 4
Ah, the arcade. The once-only home of video games has become a nostalgia center for the old at heart. We explore the still extant arcade scene and see what's out there that we're less familiar with. It's still a fairly robust scene!
