from The Old SwitchAroo: Gaming Retro with Mike and Jaymo |A Nintendo Switch Online retro gaming podcast · host Mike and Jaymo

Nate Brown (Twitch’s @nateblackest) brings down the house as he talks Blast Corps (N64, 1997) with Mike and Jaymo as part of The Old SwitchAroo’s epic quest to research and review every retro game in Nintendo Switch Online’s Nintendo Classics catalog!In this explosive episode, we explore the astronomical precision of the level select screen, the suspected censorship of a problematic televised roadster, and the timeless appeal of Nate’s hunt for the most “mid” movies of all time. Plus, we create a tier list for every vehicle in this Rare N64 classic. Which one is the Best Corps, and which is a Blast Corpse? And will this episode be the impetus for Jaymo’s very first tattoo?
