Player One Podcast

This week! With Greg out, CJ welcomes writer and educator Jon Irwin, Crossplay Substack contributor and author of Boss Fight Books' Super Mario Bros. 2, to defend black licorice, mourn the Wii U, and dig into the Ocarina of Time remake, and Nintendo's long game. Plus: listener questions on remakes and the worst co-op games, and much, much more. Join us, won't you?
