After a brief hiatus, the Midwest Game Nerds are back with an all new format to the show! This week’s three segments are as follows:

• (0:04:40) Retro Recall: Collection of SaGa | Final Fantasy Legend
  • Jon picked up this collection of retro GameBoy games and we wax nostalgic about a complete lack of tutorialization in video games!
• (0:26:17) Sound Test
  • Alex has put together a game for Jon and Bryan to guess what game franchises some sound effects are from and — if they dare, for a bonus point — explain when you’d hear the sound.
• (0:48:18) The Backlog: Elden Ring
  • Bryan’s finally had some time to really lay into Elden Ring so we once again talk about how great it is!

We’re now less of a podcast about video games and more of a podcast about buying games we wish we had the time to play and then never playing them anyway…
