PPR Presents Limelight: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

t’s been nearly a decade since the long-awaited new chapter for the Metroid Prime series was teased at the end of a Nintendo Direct with Metroid Prime 4.

Since then, we’ve gotten a new logo, a subtitle, and some reassurance that yes, it’s still coming, WELL into the point that we’ve gotten the Nintendo Switch 2 now, and it’s here where we’ll show you our look at the game as George will be streaming Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for Limelight on Press Pause Radio! This should make for an interesting stream too because he’ll be testing out the new Mouse-oriented controls with the use of his of official Super NES Mouse Pad.

The first stream was a wild ride into the new psychic power mechanics, and the enviornmental puzzles designed around them were dope as all hell. Now that George has made it to the Desert area, we'll be able to see the game open up even more. Oh, and don't worry, George made sure to snag a Samus & Vi-O-La Amiibo so that we can all get the sweet tunes that were stupidly locked out of the base game!

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch or YouTube  at 12:00 PM PST on 12/11/2025 to watch Samus Aran’s new first-person adventure on the Switch 2! You can check out the streams here or directly on our Twitch and YouTube channels, and vibe along with us as we work towards ushering in a new age of Limelight for y'all!

PPR Presents Limelight: Viewpoint 2064

Lost media is so weird, like, somewhere out there, in some random room or shelf, is something that’s complete and ready for public consumption, or a piece of what could have been, like a reel of test footage for costume demos for Tim Burton’s cancelled Superman film, with Nicholas Cage donning the cape of all people, and Burton doing his best to pose him like a dollar-store Johnny Depp going to his local comic con.

There are so many weird projects like this that have just fallen through the cracks, and are only now getting a second-hand lease on life through the aftermarket preservation efforts of the internet at large, and today, we’re going to stream one of those efforts for y’all:

The master build of Viewpoint 2064, the long-lost sequel to Sammy’s sole release on the Neo•Geo, only now for the Nintendo 64, has now been found and dumped for everyone to check out, and Georgie is going to try to take y’all through the ambitious vaporware shooter.

PPR Presents LimeLight: Cadillacs & Dinosaurs

ith Absolum getting played in our rotation as often as it has the last month or so, a lot of us have been discussing our favorite beat’em ups from the past, while getting excited for upcoming ones like Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Yeah, there’s your Final Fight, Streets of Rage, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, or Simpsons—the usual picks. But then there are some of those deeper cuts in the genre that invite all sorts of licenses, like Bucky O’Hare, or Hook, or in this specific case, Georgie’s all-time FAVORITE beat’em up game: Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

Imagine an unsuccessful 13 episode Saturday Morning cartoon adapted from an even more niche comic book series with three different volumes and different names would somehow get TWO video game adaptions. One that’s a mediocre-ass rail shooter that’s exclusive for the Sega CD, and the other being the cult-classic CPS1 arcade brawler hit that we’ll be showing off for y’all tonight!

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 7:00 PM PST on 12/01/2025 to watch this urban-dino dystopia of a beat’em up masterpiece that hasn’t gotten the re-release it so sweetly deserves!

PPR Presenta Limelight: Tokyo Jungle

or those of you who follow social media trends for various spaces, one of the most recent fads has been “Ten insert blank things to get to know me” that’s typically represented by a selfie and ten of whatever that thing is surrounding your mugshot like video games, books, movies, etc. etc. The kitschy new thing comes off like the Gen Z interpretation of “A Picture is louder than a thousand words” (or something like that we think?)

Anyway, George got in on it, and one of the games he plastered around his dumb face was the cult-classic PS3 exclusive, Tokyo Jungle from Japan Studio, and like weirdly, in a year that’s so jam-packed with so many releases, he’s been replaying it like a total weirdo. So naturally, we’re going to farm that enthusiasm for cheap content, and have him stream this goofy Sony gem for next entry of Limelight!

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 7:00 PM PST on 11/13/2025 to watch this urban-survival masterpiece that hasn’t gotten the re-release it so sweetly deserves! You can check out the streams here or directly on our Twitch channel, and vibe along with us as we work towards ushering in a new age of Limelight for y'all!

PPR Presents Limelight: Mortal Kombat II for the 3DO

ith all of the hype around the Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection (and ting of controversy over its input lag issues) we thought that instead of going the more sensible, topical route, we would do something completely different and dumb instead—like streaming the port of Mortal Kombat II developed for the 3DO!

An independent developer by the name of “3DO HD” has been putting in 2+ years of work on a “retail-grade” version of the arcade classic for the 3DO, including new bespoke features that are original to the game like new stages and gameplay modes! George is again on the sticks, and he’s had a lot of good things to say about it, so we’re excite about the bloody good time in store for this entry of Limelight!

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 8:15 PM PST on 11/10/2025 to watch this elseworlds-ass port of a killer game for niche console! You can check out the streams here or directly on our Twitch channel, and vibe along with us as we work towards ushering in a new age of Limelight for y'all!

PPR Presents Limelight: Ghost of Yōtei

or anyone keeping score, Ghost of Tsushima is considered to be one of Press Pause Radio’s favorite PlayStation exclusives, so when Ghost of Yōtei surprised announced on a random State of Play, we were feverishly excited for the sequel to say the least.

Fast forward to October where every new video game in the history of forever has seemingly launched, Ghost of Yōtei  has hit the shelves during a quarter that’s just CROWDED with holiday releases, and yet we’re absolutely pumped to give it a nice spot for the slot of this week’s Limelight.

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 7:00 PM PST on 11/06/2025 to watch the the latest entry of PlayStation exclusives that exist to blur the lines between being a Hollywood blockbuster spectacle and an immersive 40-hour long tour through an expansive open-world!

PPR Presents Limelight: Ball x Pit

K, so here’s something a little more current—one of stand-outs in the recent ID@Xbox showcase was a game that I could only describe as the Peanut Butter and Pickles of indie action titles: Ball x Pit. Like, the word salad that came out of George’s mouth when he talked about it with the rest of the PPR crew that was both outlandishly wild, and strangely accurate at the same time.

Imagine a Bullet Hell, Rogue-Like Arkanoid-esque vertical-scroller, with intermittent life-sim city/resource building ala Actraiser…

If that reading that sounded crazy to you, imagine typing it out for y’all to glean upon—either way we’re really excited to scope it out!

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 7:00 PM PST on 11/04/2025 to watch the this incredible mish-mash of gameplay mechanics masterminded by one dude from New York!

PPR Presents Limelight: Friday the 13th

eah, we know this is a weird choice for the beginning of November, but work with us—shit’s been kinda nuts this year, and we’re still working out some of the scheduling kinks. Anyway, one of the more infamous titles in the NES library, this Limelight will feature Friday the 13^th, the consensus on this game is surprisingly still pretty mixed. Does it rip? Does it blow ass? Georgie wants to say it’s a little bit in between those two verdicts, and just firmly sits at a very tense “it’s Okay.” One thing is for certain though, George has never survived all three nights so he’s going shoot for the bloody moon and try to beat this challenging chunker of a horror movie licensed cart live for y’all to “Oooh” and “Ahhh” at in the chat.

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch at 7:00 PM PST on 11/03/2025 to watch the the struggle to survive Crystal Lake in 8-Bit fidelity! You can check out the streams here or directly on our Twitch channel, and vibe along with us as we work towards ushering in a new age of Limelight for y'all!
