In this episode of Octal FM we try to decide: Is the 3D platforming video game genre dead? Games we discuss:

• Arcade games such as Donkey Kong, Mario Bros
• Croc
• Metroid and Castlevania
• Crash Bandicoot
• Rogue-likes such as Spelunky and Rogue Legacy
• Puzzle-platformers like Super Meat Boy and N+
• Is Yooka-Laylee the return of 3D platformers?
• Snake Pass

Intro music: JACKS – Runaway Fashion Outro music: Juan Medrano - Mega Man 2 "Dokuta Wairi, Rival to the Light"

In another case of 'Jalada and Sefran weren't paying attention to the episode timer', this bonus-length episode is all about our favourite video game consoles.

• Nintendo GameBoy
• Sega GameGear
• Nintendo 64
• PlayStation 4
• Joint favourite: Nintendo GameCube
  • In the episode we say that the Wavebird was the first wireless controller. Of course, there were others before it, but it was pretty much the first to use radio-frequency (which was great) instead of infrared (which was terrible).
