We kick off 2019 with our hopes and predictions for the new year in gaming with the Boston Bastard Brigade’s own Evan Bourgault!

It’s a new year for retro gaming, ARGonauts! We welcome back on friend of the show Evan Bourgault of the Boston Bastard Brigade to talk about our hopes and predictions for 2019. Join us in an ARGcast discussion on what we think is going to happen as well as the long shots we wish to see. The return of Capcom? Yes, please!

The first news of 2019 has us first talking about a recently discovered NES port of SimCity. That’s followed by a possible Sonic Adventure remake, some NES love from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and the end of Soulja Boy making his quick cash grab in retro gaming.

This week’s Stage of History welcomes the Disney infused adventure Kingdom Hearts and Nero’s debut in Devil May Cry 4. Robert then memorializes the late “Mean” Gene Okerlund with WWF Wrestlefest during Obscura. Be sure to nab our game code giveaways, then stick around for another round of Random Select. Does David actually stump the band to start off the new year for ARGcast?
