It has been so long since I played this game, and I think it’s truly underrated when put up against Melee and Brawl. It’s such a smooth game and plays like a dream compared to most anything else on N64, which is certainly admirable given the system’s hardware limitations.
Enjoy the glitches!

Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW! will include multiplayer – it just won’t be online.
Kotaku has confirmed that the new game from WayForward won’t allow players to experience any dungeon-crawling elements over the Internet. Instead, you’ll have to settle for the local four-player co-op option.
Following in the footsteps of its Japanese counterpart, Platinum has opened the English blog for The Wonderful 101. You can find an introduction message from director Hideki Kamiya here. We shared Kamiya’s note on the site a couple of days ago, but this link contains the official English translation.
Infinity Ward is handling the primary development of Call of Duty: Ghosts. However, the newly announced Wii U version is being made by an entirely different company – though one that Nintendo fans should be familiar with. As you would probably expect, Treyarch is working on the project.
This news should come as no surprise to most gamers. Treyarch was responsible for Black Ops II on Wii U last year, and the studio previously developed a majority of the Call of Duty Wii titles.
The podcast of apes. In a good way.
We shall call this episode the “podcast of monkeys”, for we acted like apes a lot of the time. The last five minutes of the podcast don’t even have anything to do with video games, and yet… I think it’s better that way! We do manage to discuss Lollipop Chainsaw, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Shin Megami Tensei IV for a bit, and listener mail manages to go so long that we have to push our discussion of the Wii U Gamepad to next week! Apologies, but I hope you enjoy anyway.

Sonic Lost World is one of three Sonic titles that will be exclusive to Nintendo platforms. But how did that exclusivity happen in the first place?
In an interview with ONM this month, Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka explained that Sonic Lost World was originally being made on the PC “in order to see what kind of platformer we could make.” Nintendo systems were chosen “when we tried to think about which platform would be best for this game”.
Iizuka’s full quote from the magazine reads:
“The Wii U hadn’t been revealed when development began for Sonic Lost World, so we were working on a PC version in order to see what kind of platformer we could make. Then, when we tried to think about which platform would be best for this game, we chose Nintendo.”
