Press Pause Preview: HYPERYuki: Snowboard Syndicate

If you're a fan of games such as SSX, Jet Set Radio, or Cool Boarders, you've likely heard the buzz around HYPERyuki, an extremely vibrant and stylized ode to these platformers and boarding gems from the late 90s and early 2000s.

You might have also heard about additional excitement in late spring and early summer, when Acclaim shared a new trailer and offered previews of the work in progress. The release date (as of now) is still in the "Coming Soon" category on Steam. And, honestly, it's probably for the best that we're still waiting to get this just right.

PPR 103

Don’t have a cow man! We get that America’s favorite dysfunctional family may have hit a slump in the ratings as of late, but doesn’t mean that we’ve completely fallen out of love with the people of Springfield and their crazy misadventures. In fact, there hasn’t been a more noticeable void in gaming than the lack of Simpsons games—like, the only way you’re going to get your fill right now is through the expensive toy add-ons of Lego Dimensions, or the casual mobile app Tapped Out.

It’s a real bummer that we’re on the 28^th season of the show, and that there hasn’t been any plans from EA to do anything with the license, and even to this day, Video Games owe a lot to The Simpsons.

Join George, Andrew, and Ser as they talk about their experiences with the older Bart-centric games, and the various titles we’ve seen come out of the property, among other important gaming commentaries that the show has covered in its near thirty-year run on television. The gang also talks about the discontinuation of the NES Classic, the disaster of Fyre Festival, the 2DS XL, Jack Bros., Nintendo Switch Sales, Destiny 2, Flinthook, Yooka-Laylee, the disappointment of the Wii U, and more on 103^rd episode of Press Pause Radio!
