Welcome back to the third episode of the GBAtemp Podcast! As usual, we discuss gaming, technology, and hacking news going on in the scene, with our host, @Chary, and co-commentators @Meteor7 and @FrozenIndignation. We've got a wild bevy of topics to cover this time, ranging from PS3 emulation, to talking about our opinions on the Smash Bros. Direct, and the confusing web of timelines that encompass the Zelda series.

​

If you'd like to see a summary of the topics we're covering in writing, you can check out our news subforum, and the latest issue of This Week in Gaming!

As always, we thank you so much for your support. We appreciate every comment, as we're eager to see where we can improve, as we acclimate to this new format.

What's this putting Mario in the trash business about?

We were talking about the Hat in Time Gamescom announcement, where all all agreed that A Hat in Time is a perfect Mario game, perhaps even moreso than Odyssey...hence the title!

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

If that Title is not clickbait, I don't know what is lol.

 

[snails1221]

Great fapping material for the night!

Well I dunno, Odyssey to me looks much more fun than AHiT.

You can say that again

I found them both fun, I’d personally say check them both out if you can.

I'm yet to get a Switch, but if I do, I'll definitely get Odyssey. I did play AHiT and it was fun, but late-game it started dropping frames to the point it was unplayable. I guess my laptop just wasn't meant for this game.

I never experienced frame drops that bad, although my system is a 3770k with a 1080ti.

Well, mine isn't.
Yay for an early i5 and a mobile GPU.

Yeah, there’s a reason the most I play on my laptop is solitaire and blackjack (although the latter was for educational purposes).

[anthony_link]

[Darth Meteos]

excellent as always

 

[HaloEffect17]

Hey, when you guys say Google Cast support pending, does they mean it'll eventually be on Google Play Music for listening? If so, I'd definitely subscribe.

I thought hat in time was a Paper mario/Mario & Luigi's game subtitle.
I looked at some videos of hat in time, all I saw wasn't mario-like at all. probably wrong videos...
edit: ok, proper video looks more like 3D adventure games. still not mario like (no moon or star, right? it's more adventure and story driven)

I enjoyed oddyssey for its semi openworld, waiting for a full one now.
I didn't complete it 100% (yet), I started to get bored playing it non stop like all other mario games so far when trying to get everything.

Educational blackjack, that's a good one
