PPR Presents Limelight: Mina the Hollower Weekend

While we strive to never play favorites at Press Pause Radio, we would be outright liars if we didn’t cop to the fact that Yacht Club games is one of our favorite independent game studios out there, so yeah—you could say we’re a little excited about Mina the Hollower going gold, and now that it’s here, it’s an experience that’s so much more than we could have ever hoped for.

Our review of Mina the Hollower will hopefully be out in the next week or so as we prep our pieces, videos, and podcast to start the month of June off, and we couldn’t think of a better stone to kill two GameBoy Color-inspired bats with than to stream the new release from Yacht Club for y’all this weekend!

PPR Presents Limelight: Apidya

Man, this one has been a long time coming...

In his quest to trying to get one of the most electic RGB-quality original hardware setups video-ready for production, George has got his Amiga CD32 recapped and ready with mods that give him access to nearly the entire Amiga library, and that means he has access to all the dumbass "euroshooters" we didn't get over on this side of the pond.

One of which is the cult-classic, Apidya, from Kaiko Games; a title that embodies everything the Amiga was. While George is planning all of the neat games to stream from PAL-centric platform in the "Düo-Dusé" he's going to come out of the gate strong with this weirdo love letter to Japanese shmups!

PPR Presents Limelight: Jack Bros.

What if we told you we were streaming a Virtual Boy game on real hardware?! Well we totally ARE!

Here's one of the most sought after 3rd party exclusives for Nintendo's red and black 32-bit beast, Jack Bros. The SMT release that DID make it's way to the west, and George is going to try and clear all 60 floors for y'all tonight!

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch or YouTube  at 7:15 PM PST on 02/23/2026 to watch the evil little faeries try to make their way home!

PPR Presents Limelight: Panzer Dragoon Orta

When SEGA dug deep into their trove of properties to revisit on Microsoft’s 128-bit premiere, they went hard, and one of the big guns behind that effort was Smilebit Premiere, also known as Sega’s “AM6.” After Jet Grind Radio and Typing of the Dead, the studio set their sights on delivering action of the more “shooty” variety, with one of those games being a sequel to a cult-classic still beloved to this day, Panzer Dragoon.

George is picking right where he left off with Panzer Dragoon Orta, and there's a chance he may even roll credits as he starts the quest hot with the Boss of Stage 8! Just TWO more stages to go!

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch or YouTube  at 7:15 PM PST on 01/26/2026 to watch Orta take flight with a new set of 4K paint to show off!

PPR Presents Ourcade: Silent Hill 2

Welcome to the next entry of dual stream feature, Ourcade! The feature where George and his partner will stream some games in tandem with one another—specifically games that have had a remaster or remake, where George will be playing the original, while Val is playing the new version. In this streaming session, George and Val are going to play the most iconic entry of Konami’s survival-horror dynasty, Silent Hill 2. On George’s end, he’ll be playing the PS2 classic that redefined the genre back in 2001, while Val will be playing the Bloober Team remake that released last year exclusively on the PS5.

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch or YouTube at 7:00 PM PST on 12/12/2025 to watch the us play through what has been heralded as one of the best video games of all time!

PPR Presenta Limelight: Tokyo Jungle

For 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!

PPR Presents Limelight: Ghost of Yōtei

For 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 Ourcade: Nintendo Randomized Tandomizer Part 2!

Sup everyone?—remember that new video feature we’ve been teasing for the last couple of years? We’re FINALLY doing it; the feature is Ourcade, and it’ll be a special feature where my partner, Val, and I, will stream some games in tandem with one another—specifically games that have had a remaster or remake, where I will be playing the original, and Val will be playing the new version (unless we decide to switch up the roles for certain exceptions.)

Returning to where they last left off, George and Val will be playing some randomized hacks of Nintendo classics! George will be playing a special randomized hack that combines SNES favorites, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Super Metroid, into one combined experience where not only will various rooms or doorways transition you between Hyrule and Zebes, but integral items from both games will be randomly shuffled from their typical areas in the game. In an even bigger twist, the items can be randomized into the other mashed game, i.e., the hookshot could be held by a Chozo while the Super Missile will be stashed in a treasure chest in some dungeon—shit’s going to be wild. Val, on the other hand, will be playing Pokémon Soul Silver, which will randomize all aspects of Pokémon encounters, from the choice of starters, to the wild encounters, and the teams that various trainers and leaders will have when you run into a challenge—oh, and items will also be randomized too!

May we get the charitble blessing of RNG-esus tongiht and make some HUGE progress for y'all!
