Abnormal Mapping

1d ago

This one was in the can way before the new Mega Man was announced, but I’m glad they finally listened to us and made another one of these. But we went back to the first evolution of classic Mega Man with two of the less respected but surprisingly disparate entries in the Mega Man series. Hope you enjoy!

We dig into Square’s attempt at survival horror as they hand Parasite Eve over to one of the creators of Resident Evil who proceeds to make a police procedural about being the bioweapon cops out on the streets. It’s very funny, but mostly pretty good? Glad we got around to this one. New podcast art is by boo ! Go hire her to make you stuff!
