Episode description

One of the most infamous games of all time, Mighty No. 9 came and went nine years ago in a flurry of bad press and broken promises. But how bad was it, really? Did it deserve the beating by critics and fans, or is there something here to like? Andre is joined by Aaron of SuperPod Saga to reevaluate the past and find some answers.
